Researchers plan to test for radiation in Yukon's local food supply some six months after a Japanese nuclear disaster.
The decision to test for radiation is being done in part to alleviate worries of residents in the area, said Dr. Brendan Hanley, Yukon's Chief Medical Officer of Health.
"There have apparently been some of those questions from citizens," said Hanley. "This is in part an answer, or an attempt to answer some of those questions."
But Hanley said he's confident the test results will prove the food supply is radiation free.
NOTE: 160 days after Fukushima, a sudden willingness to test? Will the tests results be available or will the figures be cooked?
