福島沖、全魚種の出荷制限解除　放射性物質、基準クリア

　政府の原子力災害対策本部は２５日、福島県沖で水揚げされる全魚種が出荷制限対象から外れたと発表した。２０１１年の東京電力福島第１原発事故後、取れた魚から国の安全基準を上回る放射性セシウムが検出されれば、出荷を禁じていた。４３魚種が対象となったが、徐々に減り、残る１魚種も安定的に基準をクリアしているとして、制限を解除した。
　最後の１魚種はエイの一種で、地元では煮付けなどにして食べられるコモンカスベ。１６年８月に出荷制限が解除されたものの、１９年１月に基準を上回る放射性セシウムが検出されたため、再び出荷制限の対象になっていた。（2020/02/25-18:54）

The Japanese government has lifted shipment restrictions on all of its designated fish species caught off Fukushima Prefecture that were introduced due to the 2011 nuclear disaster, a panel said Tuesday.
   The government's Nuclear Emergency Response Headquarters announced the lifting after fish of the one last remaining species of the 43 satisfied safety standards.
   The restrictions had covered the 43 fish species caught off Fukushima, which hosts the disaster-crippled Tokyo Electric Power Company Holdings Inc.'s Fukushima No. 1 nuclear power plant. The last one is a species of skate.
   In August 2016, the shipment restrictions on the fish were lifted. But in January 2019, the restrictions were reinstated after above-limit cesium was detected from skates caught off Fukushima.
   Currently, members of the Fukushima Prefectural Federation of Fisheries Cooperative Associations voluntarily refrain from fishing in waters within 10 kilometers of the TEPCO plant, which underwent a triple meltdown after the March 2011 earthquake and tsunami.
