Radioactive water leaking from Japan's crippled Fukushima nuclear plant has not yet threatened waters under the jurisdiction of China, the State Oceanic Administration (SOA) said Sunday.
The latest monitoring data showed that contaminated water areas have expanded, but no immediate impact on Chinese waters has been reported, according to the administration.
The SOA has carried out regular monitoring of the Western Pacific Ocean since the Fukushima nuclear accident in March 2011.
Follow-up monitoring will be continued to safeguard China's maritime rights and interests, it said, adding monitoring can also be conducted in waters near Fukushima to detect new developments in the nuclear crisis.
