Are You Worried About East Coast Seafood Due to 'Fukushima Discharge'?... Gyeongbuk Province Operates Radiation Inspection Results App

Real-time Inspection Results Service

'Gyeongbuk Sea Environment Information APP'

Are you worried about seafood from the East Coast due to the Fukushima contaminated water discharge?

An app service has been released to easily ease such concerns. You can now easily check the radiation inspection results of seafood from the Gyeongbuk region on your smartphone.

The Gyeongbuk Provincial Government's East Sea Area Headquarters provides radiation inspection results and real-time water temperature monitoring information through the ‘Gyeongbuk Sea Environment Information Smartphone APP’ to inform the public about seafood produced on the Gyeongbuk East Coast in real time.

The Gyeongbuk Sea Environment Information app has been operated by the Fisheries Technology Institute since 2021 to provide real-time water temperature monitoring information, and with the recent development of radiation inspection information, users can now check both water temperature data and radiation inspection results.

The app was developed to improve the previous situation where radiation inspection results could only be accessed by visiting the Gyeongsangbuk-do website.

Through the app, detailed radiation inspection results from June 2021 onward can be viewed, and on the main screen, anyone can easily see inspection results by representative consumer fish species.

Additionally, users can select information by fish species, region, and radiation detection status, allowing them to filter the information they want to see. This is the app’s greatest advantage, helping ensure the safe consumption of seafood.

The Gyeongbuk Sea Environment Information app can be downloaded by searching on the Google Play Store, and existing users can check radiation inspection information through an update.

Gyeongbuk Province plans to produce and distribute detailed app guidance leaflets so that people of all ages can easily use the app.

Kim Jung-kwon, head of the Gyeongbuk East Sea Area Headquarters, said, “With growing public concern over the Fukushima contaminated water discharge, the Gyeongsangbuk-do Fisheries Technology Institute is doing its best to provide accurate information along with prompt inspections. Gyeongbuk Province plans to conduct even more thorough radiation inspections on seafood produced in the region.”
