    A marine fish called "Xu's flat scorpionfish" caught off the coast of Fukushima Prefecture, Japan , recently again detected a serious radiation exposure
    .
    On the 8th, the Japanese government again instructed Fukushima Prefecture to suspend the sale of this marine fish
    .

     
    A marine fish off the coast of Fukushima prefecture in Japan has been tested for serious radiation
     
    According to the news released by the Japanese Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare on the 8th, the test results as of the 7th showed that the radioactive cesium activity contained in the "Xu's flat scorpionfish" captured off the coast of Fukushima Prefecture reached 1,400 becquerels per kilogram, which is far more than that per kilogram.
    Japanese food hygiene standard of 100 becquerel
    .
     
    In fact, the "Xu's flat scorpionfish" caught off the coast of Fukushima Prefecture had excessive radioactive substances in February and April last year, and was temporarily suspended for sale
    .
    But in December last year, the restrictions on the suspension of sales were lifted again
    .

     
    According to previous reports by Japanese media, after the accident at the Tokyo Electric Power Company's Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant, the Japanese government suspended the listing and sale of up to 44 types of seafood in the waters near Fukushima Prefecture, but these restrictions have been lifted one after another
    .
     
    The "3.
    11" earthquake in 2011 resulted in the meltdown of the core of the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant, the leakage of radioactive materials, the continuous cooling of the core, and the influx of rainwater and groundwater into the reactor facilities, resulting in a large amount of nuclear sewage, which is increasing continuously
    .
     
    In April last year, despite strong domestic and international opposition, the Japanese government decided to filter and dilute millions of tons of nuclear sewage from the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant before discharging it into the sea

      TEPCO restarts internal investigation into containment of Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant
     
     
      Nearly 11 years have passed since the Fukushima nuclear accident.
    Yesterday, Tokyo Electric Power Co.
    restarted an internal investigation into Unit 1 of the Daiichi nuclear power plant, but the scrapping of the entire nuclear power plant is still far away
    .
     
      Near Shimbashi Station in Tokyo, the building next to the reporter is the headquarters of Tokyo Electric Power Company
    .
    Yesterday, TEPCO reopened its investigation into nuclear debris inside the reactor containment vessel of Unit 1
    .
    Due to the high levels of radiation in the containment, the investigation was carried out by means of a remote control robot
    .
     
      The investigation, which was scheduled to take place last month in preparation for the decommissioning of the nuclear power plant, was called off after just over two hours due to a technical glitch
    .
    The entire investigation after the restart is expected to last about seven months
    .

     
      In the Fukushima nuclear accident, the core meltdown of the reactor occurred in Units 1 to 3 of the Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant, and a large amount of nuclear residues were formed, which became the biggest obstacle to the scrapping work
    .
    More than a week ago, the robotic arm used to remove nuclear debris finally arrived in Fukushima and will be put into operation at the earliest this year
    .
    Although TEPCO said it would complete the scrapping work within 40 years of the nuclear accident, Japanese media questioned that the process may be longer and the outlook is not clear
    .
     
      Another legacy of the Fukushima nuclear accident, the treatment of nuclear-contaminated water, is full of controversy
    .
    In the face of domestic and overseas doubts and opposition to the plan to discharge nuclear-contaminated water into the sea, TEPCO continued to intensify its publicity efforts and released a brochure claiming that the discharge into the sea would have minimal impact on the human body and the environment
    .
    On the 14th of this month, the International Atomic Energy Agency will send an expert team to Japan to conduct an investigation in Fukushima to verify the safety of the sea discharge plan
    .
     
    The third legacy of the Fukushima nuclear accident is the displacement of a large number of local residents, which still exceeds 27,000
    .
    Although the Japanese government will continue to lift residential restrictions in some areas surrounding the nuclear accident this spring, a survey shows that only about 10% of Fukushima refugees are willing to return to their hometowns
