HYUNDAI NO.106 8608157
Customs agents in Chile have detected low levels of radioactivity in cars shipped from Yokohama. Radioactivity was found in 21 of nearly 2,500 cars that arrived in Iquique aboard the "Hyundai 106". About a hundred port workers have protested, saying their health was at risk. On May 2, 2011, it the Chilean nuclear commission has confirmed that the radioactivity was too low to cause damage to humans. The cars will now be hosed down on board and any radioactivity will be contained inside inside the ship. It was the first Japanese shipment to Chile to show radioactivity since Japan's nuclear disaster.
