Radioactive substances from Fukushima nuclear power plant No1 has reached the United States and Iceland, and it is expected to spread throughout the world in two to three weeks, according to the Preparatory Commission for the Comprehensive Nuclear-Test-Ban Treaty Organization (CTBTO) on Thursday (March 24, 2011).
But the amount of radioactive subtances was too small to affect humans, said the commission, based in Vienna told the Japanese news agency Kyodo.
The Commission operates network installations of surveillance in 63 locations which spread across the world, including an installation in Takasaki, Gunma Prefecture, Japan.
A senior official from the supervision department of the Commission said the figures which are scanned in Takasaki continued to go up and down and the amount of radioactive substances from the Fukushima nuclear power plant which was damaged by a major earthquake and massive tsunami on March 11, 2011, can not be said to be reduced.
Slightly radioactive substances were detected in the installation of surveillance in western California on March 18, and Iceland on Tuesday (March 22), and they estimated that the radioactive substances will reach Europe in a few days.
A number of diplomatic source from the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) said most Southeast Asian countries worry about the adverse impacts of the radioactive substances.
But the Nuclear and Industrial Safety Agency of Japan said that the radioactive substances from Fukushima nuclear power plant are not expected to affect other countries, quoting from the data observed so far.
