No protective measures need to be taken against contamination from these materials, the notice said, adding that a sample survey indicated no abnormality in drinking water.

In addition, no obvious changes had been observed in the situation of the quake-damaged Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant in Japan, and readings from on-site radiation monitoring posts at the nuclear complex remained stable, according to the notice, quoting the International Atomic Energy Agency's Friday report.
