The Fukushima prefectural government lifted rice shipment curbs in part of the northern Japan prefecture Friday after its emergency survey to check radiation levels, officials said.
The prefectural government surveyed about 23,200 farmers, starting in November, after the discovery of rice contaminated with radioactive cesium exceeding a state safety limit of 500 becquerels per kilogram.
Of them, shipment curbs on 22,657 farmers in 86 areas were lifted as cesium levels were limited to 100 becquerels or less.
