Coz, JT isn't on the ball!

So, how did radioactive tea end up in France?

It is simple to evaluate-just look at the effects of the Russian nuclear disaster ( a similar event) for the consequences of radioactive fallout.

I am sure that the people want to eat the food -it is the radioactive substances that they may find unpalatable.

If anyone tells you that Japan is safe now they could be right. However, living up in Fukushima safe?Tokyo ? Kanto? Honshu? Yesterday, (Sunday) another massive amount of radiation was released ,an estimated 1.6 billion becquerels! Where does that radiation go? Of course into the environment,the air ,the water and onto the land and the food. Eventually, those substances will end up in us,where they will emit energy at our cells causing us to weaken and most likely develop cancer. When will that happen and what can be done to prevent it? Remove yourself from the source of the contamination. Radiation defects,illnesses and genetic damage are well documented-please make an informed choice

Japan should look to Russia for advice and consultation. The Russians have been through a similar crisis -while the Japanese respond ad hoc to the problems and try to find their own solutions, time is being wasted and lives are being and will be lost, not to mention how many millions will be affected by the radioactive contamination that is STILL being released!

The problems in Fukushima are affecting the world so why aren't there international teams on site?

Why is this still in the hands of a private company?

I feel much safer now that 'vents' are being installed to allow toxic radioactive substances to be 'vented' into the atmosphere.Plenty of life in those pools of molten radioactive sludge yet!

Japan is a pretty boring place for youth........

Civility!

Worst experiences with BA Best with Cathy, Singapore.

Overall surprise and dark horse Aeroflot (if the windows don't pop out)

Yes it is-while those with the donations wring their hands over who gets what, the older folks will start shuffling off this mortal coil.due to the adverse conditions they are in.

Meanwhile people are still sleeping on the floors in Fukushima.....gotta love Japan!

I'm staying away due to the potent mix of debilitated nuclear reactors and typhoons!!!!!!

Just stop expanding the settlements otherwise there will be more and more conflict!

Take over responsibility for the nuclear disaster-to still have a private company handling this 'national' disaster is a dereliction of duty.

Wearing those suits would not stop gamma radiation -that would still enter and exit the body with consequent effects.

Going to Thailand next week-all you want & need at a price that you don't!

Why do tourists continue to stay away from Japan?

Answer:A tsunami,earthquake and 4 leaking nuclear reactors.

The facts are that nuclear radioactive has gone around the world more than a few times now and it is still being churned out everyday.100s of millions of people are just downwind of the most dangerous substances ever made.So, let's not get a grip by inviting overseas tourists and workers to Japan to be irradiated!

The two 'Rs' reduce prices and radiation and there you have it!

Why would anyone wish to travel to a country that has had a nuclear disaster? It's a dangerous situation that will continue for many years,

@AdamB - well, western nations have the highest collective GDPs in the world so that is where the suppl of drugs usually end up. In Canada "Cannabis use among young people is a serious public-health concern" according to Medscape(dot)com (google drug use amongst teens and you will trends up)ergo I would say that a large number of foreigners have tried some form of illicit substance. Of course, declaring that on entry to Japan is not necessary but a convicted drug user would have to under Japanese law-as Brand most likely did. The figure of 99% is a bit of hy(high)perbole though!

There is nothing worse than seeing wreaths of flowers left on a riverbank in Japan knowing that a life has been lost,,,,,,

In order to make tourists feel secure and protected, the issuance of hazmat suits for rental and free body count radiation checks would go a long way to putting tourists' minds at rest.Wind direction and airborne radiation counts could be emailed to the mobile phone of each tourist or a special website, (in English,Spanish and Chinese etc) advising tourists to remain inside on certain days.Free decontamination showers at the port of return,followed by an iodine laced tea or coffee (to protect the thyroid gland)would leave the tourist in a relaxed and happy frame of mind, dreaming of their next trip back to Japan after a few thousand years ......

The 'opportunity' in this article is not defined, but be sure that it is the 'opportunity' to make profit-profit out of disaster! The benefit won't be for the Japanese worker as the company opens up new factories in China where workers are on a tenth of the Japanese workers' salaries.

Souldn it read that 'he jumped' to his death?

That might be more accurate

This type of 'accident' happens almost every week in Japan. I pity the train drivers in Japan they need counseling big time.

@AdamB the simple answer is increasing drug usage rates and convictions

It'll soon be the case that 99% of westerners won't be allowed into Japan then..........

This is a very weird case.I am sure that there is more to this than is being reported.Are there drugs involved?What would make the head of the IMF do this?It does not make any sense for a man in his position to attack a chamber maid does it? Demonic forces at work for sure!
