Toyota on Monday said it has started measuring the radiation levels of its vehicles bound for export in order to "provide customer peace of mind" in the wake of the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear reactor disaster. The Japan Automobile Manufacturers Association on Monday said it has "initiated its own procedures to test the radiation levels of vehicles produced in Japan." The new steps to reassure consumers come six days after Japan's nuclear watchdog agency classified the disaster at the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power reactor as a "major accident" with "wider consequences" and likened it to the 1986 Chernobyl nuclear disaster.
