According to the monitoring data of Gamma Radiation located on the Taipa Grande Station of the Macao Meteorological Bureau, the Gamma-ray absorbed dose rate per minute ranges between 0.1178 and 0.1466Gy/h (micro Gray/hour) from March 11 till 11 a.m. Monday, which lies within the normal level with no abnormalities found.

According to Macao Meteorological Bureau, Japan will still be affected by mainly westerly winds in the next two days, thus contamination is expected to affect only the eastern part of Japan and the Northern Pacific to the east of Japan.

Macao locates more than 3,000 kilometers from the site of the incident with an opposite direction to the affected areas and thus this nuclear incident is not expected to affect Macao directly, Macao Meteorological Bureau said.

However, Macao Meteorological Bureau will continue to pay close attention to this nuclear incident and monitor for any possible impact on Macao. If any abnormalities being discovered, the bureau will release related message to the public immediately and inform relevant government departments to adopt contingency measures.
