ABC News: Imports contaminated with radioactive isotope likely to continue for foreseeable future: US bulletin

"Due to the high number of factories and wide variety of goods produced at facilities in the area of the contamination, additional commodities from Indonesia will almost certainly test positive for Cs-137 in the coming weeks and months," the bulletin said. "While improbable, we cannot rule out the potential that Cs-137 contaminated goods will arrive in the United States via tourism or passenger travel."
