Nissan to check the radioactivity of their cars

Following the earthquake that struck northeastern Japan, damaging a wide area of  the country and several reactors in Fukushima plant, Nissan Motor has said it is ready to monitor the level of radioactivity of their cars produced in Japan. A statement said that the company will continue to "implement all appropriate measures to reassure customers and to ensure that our company remains in line with international safety standard." The evaluation tests will continue until there is confidence that the risk of contamination is completely removed.


All the plants damaged Nissan in Japan, excluding the motor factory Iwaki, have been restored and the facilities and equipment have been repaired in record time. However, the company is aware that there may be delays in the delivery of spare parts. Currently, all companies are facing problems and post-earthquake centered in the fact that the Tokyo government has decided on a sort of rolling blackout in all areas affected by the earthquake, thereby preventing the normal operation of plants.

Because of the tidal wave (the result of the telluric movement), Nissan has complained about the complete destruction of 2,300 vehicles ready to be shipped to North America. The damage would be huge, partly due to the fact that many of these specimens were of the luxury brand Infiniti.
