Radioactive particles from Fukushima can reach Armenia in minuscule concentration

PanARMENIAN.Net - Radioactive cloud from Japan’s Fukushima hasn’t reached Armenia.

As the Chairman of the State Nuclear Safety Regulatory Commitее Ashot Martirosyan told PanARMENIAN.Net reporter, the radioactive cloud passed over the Pacific Ocean, the U.S., Europe, currently getting close to Turkey.

“Even if the particles of the radioactive cloud reach Armenia, they will pose no danger to the people’s health and environmental safety. Nor will the particles affect the radioactive background of the country, their concentration being billion times below the norm,” he stressed, remarking that there are no reasons whatsoever for panic.
