<br />
Japanese automakers are continuing to test their products for excessive radiation levels as they leave their respective manufacturing facilities and before they're loaded onto container ships for transport. <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/make/nissan">Nissan</a> has released a video detailing the company's radiation check system, which includes monitoring randomly-selected sample group vehicles in three key locations.<br />
<br />
Workers measure levels at the vehicles' wheels, the center of the hood and the steering wheel before handing out clean bills of health. So far, all of the company's vehicles have passed without a problem.<br />
<br />
Automakers began testing vehicles after the disaster at the <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/2011/03/19/report-nissan-to-start-checking-radiation-levels-on-imported-ca/">Fukushima Dai-ichi nuclear power plant</a> despite the fact that most manufacturing locations are situated well away from the ill-stricken facility. The video after the jump follows a few vehicles (including a <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/model/370z">370Z</a> and a <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/model/gtr">GT-R</a>) through the test procedure and onto a transportation vessel in port. <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/2011/04/25/video-see-how-nissan-checks-its-cars-for-radiation/#continued">Click past the jump</a> to watch the full video for yourself. <em>Thanks for the tip, Stephen!</em><br />
