Hi Cameron This is an interesting thread.. It has been a while since i posted here.. I respect your attempt Cameron to normalise aspects of this situation on behalf of a beleaguered population in need of financial support and who are not receiving the losses they have had as a result of the nuclear disaster. The fact that you highlight the plight of the refugees, the beauty of such a wonderful bit of Japan, these are justifiable reasons for promoting tourism. However on the eve of the Chernobyl disaster and with ACRO`s statement that this is comparable to the contamination of Chernobyl (but with a lesser effected population thanks heavens), it might be worth noting that if we use Chernobyl Childrens International own statistics on heart defects and compare the lesser population we still get an estimated 1,500 children a year likely to be born with heart defects sometime in the future.. My evidence for this posit is gathered here;

http://nuclear-news.net/2014/04/15/1500-children-likely-to-develop-heart-problems-on-a-yearly-basis-effects-of-the-fukushima-nuclear-disaster/ And there are other problems apart from thyroid cancer caused by lack of investment... http://nuclear-news.net/2014/04/20/column-how-my-trip-to-a-childrens-mental-asylum-in-belarus-made-me-proud-to-be-irish/

Forgetting the high suicide rates caused by the psychological impacts of the nuclear disaster, it might be worth mentioning that TEPCO have been bailed out to the tune of 26 billion Euro, not including the cost of the Diesel generators supplied by UK companies to overcome the national drop in electricity output etc

I would like to see equipment such as the new measuring equipment that the UK`s NPL laboratories have just announced used in fukushima and the North eastern edge of Myagi to find the hot spots http://nuclear-news.net/2014/04/14/the-radlab-on-wheels-a-mobile-radiochemistry-laboratory/ and investment in solar to replace the destroyed nuclear plant. This sort of investment would be good for the long term and encourage tourism as people would see where exactly the contamination is and what isotopes etc.. And also allow young families to see where it might be best to conceive and raise their children.. A win win situation i hope you would agree?
