The governmental inspection of imported foods was taken by food sanitation inspectors at seaports and airports in Japan by a first screening test with a simple scintillation survey meter and also by a minute analysis of Ge detector at four major sea ports (Tokyo, Yokohama, Osaka, Kobe), one major airport (Narita) and in the National Institute of Hygienic Sciences, Tokyo. At the same time, trade companies were requested voluntarily to check imported foods for radioactive contamination under the above Japanese interim standard of 370 Bq/kg at the laboratories designated by the Ministry of Health and Welfare of Japan (Washima and Ohkubo, 1987).
