OSAKA, JAPANNihon Superior says measurements of products shipped from its distribution center show radiation levels present no risk to its customers.

Since the Fukushima nuclear plant was damaged by the earthquake and consequent tsunami in March 2011, the soldering materials supplier has monitored radiation levels of all goods received into and dispatched from the distribution center.

Measurements have been made in accordance with the International Commission on Radiological Protection, and results have been checked for consistency with those obtained by the Osaka Prefectural Institute of Public Health

Radiation levels for goods passing through the Osaka Distribution Center have stayed below the ICRP limits for normal exposure.

Nihon Superior said it would continue to monitor radiation levels.
