Radioactive cars from Japan continue to rotate in Central Asia.
A total of 70 used cars imported from Japan and found to have increased levels of radiation are stored in Bishkek, Kyrgyzstan, and can not be returned, according Silk Road Reporters citing local car dealers media in Kyrgyzstan, which were the large number of imported used cars from Japan for resale in the country, found cars that have higher levels of radiation than normal car Several lots were seized by the government during the past three years and were sometimes sent to Japan through an agreement with the Japanese government, however, irradiated cars continue to run in Bishkek, the capital, and all are not detected in time.
These cars can not be sent back Neither China nor Japan accept them for that reason, we must keep them here and deal with them more, Tolo Isakov, director of the Department of Disease Prevention in Bishkek told the AKIpress news outlet, according to Reporters Silk Road.
Isakov told AKIpress and another news outlet Bishkek, currently a decision is made as to scrap cars Cars were quarantined in a pound, but local authorities do not know what to do with them lot of this day 70 cars was set up in the lot impoundment over time, with cars having come by several other Isakov country does not mention the levels of radioactivity were detected in these cars, but should vary from a car.
The import of Japanese used cars is big business in Central Asia, especially in Mongolia and in the Russian regions of the Far East who are the biggest consumers of Japanese used cars in the region cities like Vladivostok Russia, RHD Japanese cars account for about 50 percent of all passenger cars registered.
A shipment of 132 cars irradiated recently detected entering the port of Vladivostok in January 2014, with cars having been denied entry into port, according to the Australian site CarsGuide Russia was more successful in detecting irradiated cars come from Japan due to rigorous controls in the ports of Vladivostok and Khabarovsk, however, is mainly due to the direct route that cargo ships with used cars usually take in more systematic projections by agents Customs roads that used Japanese cars are generally small Central Asian countries like Kyrgyzstan are more tortuous and cars with higher levels of radiation than normal often escape detection because they are driven to the border on the plates registration in neighboring countries.
