The Japanese government has begun scanning container ships leaving from the harbours in Tokyo bay for radiation emissions.
The move by Japan's transport ministry is primarily a bid to alleviate concerns about contamination from a crippled nuclear plant for shipowners, crews, and the foreign harbours where the ships are destined.
Scanned ships will be given a certificate recording radiation levels.
Ships found to have radiation readings exceeding a standard level will not be permitted to leave the ports of Tokyo, Kawasaki or Yokohama.
