rumors about radiation contamination??

Those aren't rumors sir.

Around 3,000 monitoring posts were installed in locations such as kindergartens and schools to measure radiation levels in the air, according to the NRA.

> But during the five years since fully starting the operation of the devices in fiscal 2013, the monitoring system has been hit by problems, such as showing inaccurate readings and failing to transmit data, some 3,955 times.

How can you dispel them as rumors when your data for analyzing radiation is flawed from the beginning?

I don't think the governor is dnying radiation in Fukushima. He is simply referrying to rumors that anything, including sake, from Fukushima is dangerous due to radiation.
