Don't buy food from Fukushima.

If water is bad up there, seafood the should be worse.

Make TEPCO take care of this.

Jp government doesn't care about us.

So scientists say it exists but everybody ignores them and denies science exists.

funny enough, I came to Kyoto this morning with my Geiger counter. Only just started, but at 1 meter is still not so bad. 5cm is a little bad. Around Kyoto station at 5cm is worse. Take care children.

Wait until the mass dumping starts.

But...but.. Abe-san promised the world that Fukushima was completely under control! Surely we can take him at his word and stop talking about it?

If you don't talk about it, it goes away - that's the way it works, isn't it?

Kazumichi,

Don't buy food from Fukushima.

Thanks so much for your support, as if the people of Fukushima haven't been through enough in the past 8 years.

Btw. Just tested next to Gosho palace in Kyoto. 0.16msv at 1 meter. 0.23 at 5cm. That’s about from 700km away from the undoing nuclear disaster.

@Goodluck: Listen, we’ve had this discussion, many of us here are also concerned about radionuclides in food, the air, the water, BUT posting what you did is simple fear mongering. What isotope did you measure? What radiation? If it was Strontium 90, or Caesium 137, or any other "waste" isotope resulting from a fission reactor, cause for concern... BUT. QED.

My point exactly, from day one, Zichi san (and good to see you back online). "Fukushima" is a huge ken and range of mountain down the middle screened the west side from the east. Japan Agriculture never gives exact point of origin as they know no one would buy something from, say, Minamisoma, etc. Answer: do not sell food from contaminated areas. Why don't the growers in western Fukushima prominently display that on their packaging?

Typical shopping experience: "Oh, look, cheap tomatoes (or whatever)...oh, look, "Fukushima". No thank you, I will pass and spend a few more yen for peace of mind.

How could this be so? Are they stating the Japanese 'experts' who deny any major fallout are full of poop? (sarcasm)

Patricia Yarrow,

I echo your points about both Fukushima products and having Zichi back online again.I will stay well away from Fukushima foods,it would be foolish not to,while at the same time look forward to reading Zichi's posts.....I remember after 3/11 he ke@t us ex-pats up to date with the real information.....many thanks,Zichi.

@ the "but it’s higher in New York, London etc" crowd, BUT, you’re not saying what isotope, kind of radiation, that is very misleading. It’s like the banana troll that people roll out. As above, if it’s Caesium 137, Strontium 90, and other by-products of fission, of which there are higher levels in Kanto, Tohoku.... then it is a problem.

I am not eating fish or produce from there. And to those of you who mock that as ignorance, I say to you, eat up!

Fukushima was a terrible disaster. The way it has and is being handled is also a disaster. Japan tries to cover up and control the information about it before they announce anything to the public. Which makes it funny that someone issues a Japanese web link to defend their point. Lol
