Migrating birds from Japan to be tested for radiation

Kamchatka testing migrant birds for radiation Zee News, India, April 30, 2012, Petropavlovsk-Kamchatsky: Migrant birds arriving in Kamchatka from the side of Japan will be tested for radiation, the Kamchatka government said..

.. Up to 1,00,000 geese and about 1 million ducks come to Kamchatka in spring. Many of these birds might have nested on Japanese islands or flown over lands polluted with radiation in the Fukushima nuclear power plant accident in spring 2011, which makes the tests necessary.

The Kamchatka territory already tested migrant birds for radiation in 2011. No radioactive birds were found back then. http://zeenews.india.com/news/eco-news/kamchatka-testing-migrant-birds-for-radiation_772517.html
