Japan Plans to Suspend Cattle Shipments From Stricken Fukushima Region 
-----------------------------------------------------------------------



Japan has announced plans to suspend all cattle shipments from the
Fukushima region as concerns over radiation-tainted beef escalate. The
decision comes one day after a major Japanese retailer admitted it had
sold beef from cattle that ate nuclear contaminated food. The beef was
sold in 14 stores in Tokyo and the surrounding area.
