Shipments of Codfish caught off-shore of Hachinohe, Aomori Prefecture, have been stopped due to Japan’s overly-restrictive national standards... Peaches from Fukushima orchards are being shipped and sold all over Japan... Shizuoka Gov. Heita Kawakatsu says he will support the public’s call for a nuclear energy referendum... Tokyo says about 61% of those who voluntarily replied to a government poll want nuclear energy abolished as soon as possible...
