-- Nissan has started scanning vehicles made in Japan for traces of radioactive
material, a company official said Friday.
"Looking
ahead, we will continue to implement all appropriate measures to reassure the
public that all products from our company remain within globally accepted
safety standards and until we are confident that any risk of contamination is
completely removed," said Simon Sproule, corporate vice president of
marketing for Nissan Motor Company.

Sproule
said the monitoring began this week.
Sources
inside the company said there is virtually no risk of contamination from a car
and no potential health risk to customers, but testing began because of public
concern.
Production
at several Nissan facilities remains suspended after a 9.0-magnitude earthquake
damaged plants and equipment on March 11, the company said in a statement
Thursday.
