China Lifts Ban on Japanese Seafood Imports With Restrictions Still in Place
Kathmandu, June 30: China has lifted its ban on seafood imports from most parts of Japan, two years after halting them due to concerns over treated wastewater released from the Fukushima nuclear plant.
Imports will resume “with conditions,” but seafood from 10 Japanese prefectures, including Tokyo and Fukushima, will still not be allowed.
China’s General Customs Administration stated that long-term monitoring found no irregularities in water samples from Fukushima.
The Fukushima nuclear disaster occurred in 2011 when a powerful tsunami damaged three of the plant’s six reactors, making it the worst nuclear accident since Chernobyl. Since then, tens of millions of tons of treated wastewater have built up at the site.
Japan began releasing this treated water into the ocean in 2023.
