Hong Kong to activate control measures on seafood from Japan

Hong Kong's leader said on Tuesday he strongly opposes Japan's release into the sea of treated radioactive water from the crippled Fukushima nuclear plant and the city would "immediately activate" import controls on Japanese seafood. Japan will on Thursday begin releasing more than a million tons of water from the plant north of Tokyo, insisting it is safe to do so. Though approved by the U.N. nuclear watchdog, the plan to dump the water has faced opposition at home and abroad, including from China, over worries about food safety.
