Actually natural background is responsible for about 2.5 millisieverts/yr of exposure. These are jut external doses. In Kawauchi the last air reading was 3.11/microsv/hr, so more like 27 millisieverts per year, or ten times natural background radiation. NOT safe.

Posted in: Japan to buy up and burn radiation-tainted beef See in context
Will someone please inform the Japanese government minister responsible that burning caesium-laden beef will only release the caesium into the air again so that another person, animal or plant can ingest it for the next several hundred years? The most common form of caesium has a half-life of 30 years, meaning that only half of it will be gone in that time, whether you burn it or not. A somewhat safer means of disposal would be burial in lead-lined pits.
