Upon the radiation leak occurred at Fukushima Prefecture Nuclear Power Plant No. 1 in Japan, the Macao Meteorological Bureau has been monitoring closely for any alteration of the radiation level in Macao and so far no abnormalities has been discovered. At the same time, the World Meteorological Organization has already activated its Environmental Emergency Response operation. According to the latest forecasts conducted today (18th) by the two Regional Specialized Meteorological Centres including Beijing and Tokyo, nuclear radiation will mainly affect the eastern part of Japan and the Northern Pacific to the east of Japan for the next two days. Thus this nuclear incident is still not expected to affect Macao directly and we are still safe from that. According to the monitoring data of Gamma Radiation recorded for the past 24 hours (17th March 16:01 till 18th March 16:00) by the Taipa Grande Station of the Macao Meteorological Bureau, the Gamma-ray absorbed dose rate per minute ranges between 0.1187 and 0.1318μGy/h (micro Gray / hour) which is far more below the warning level of 0.35μGy/h. Besides, the radiation level in Macao has always been within the normal level with no abnormalities found since the very beginning of this incident.
