Why doesn't the government use the 10km area around daiichi as storage space for all the radioactive crap. Nobody is going to be living there anyway.

Just replace harmful rumours with radiation in any article about fukushima accident and things make more sense

Good night 3D - I hope you never come back

So if rice has 499 becquerels of cesium it's considered ok to eat? And not only that - the government is urging people to buy products from Fukushima where levels may be this high? What kind of bizarro world has Japan turned into?

Japan has been turning inward for years now

Japan has such a bizarre working culture. I remember working somewhere and noticing that coworkers suddenly stopped talking to me, so I thought 'ok I must have done something wrong but I have absolutely no idea what it was'

Boy these politicians are absolute scumbags

God the LDP are pathetic

So what he is saying is, all of Japan should take some radiation - if Fukushima suffers, everyone has to suffer.

This kind of thing seems to happen a helluva lot in Japanese chain restaurants

It's so bizarre I can barely believe it. But the old hole in the ground gag is a favourite on Japanese TV.

My favourite movie. Don't destroy my memories, Scott.

They only expect him to live another 10 years? Well, with all that radiation around...

Just wait till the rice harvest - there are gonna be a lot of food scandals to come

Just drag it out a bit longer and hope the people get bored and stop caring, and then business as usual

Nokia are all but finished in today's phone market

I bet these 'tests' will only have two results: A or B - like their 'tests' on the safety of swimming water.

When they say he "resigned," does that mean he's out of a job, resigned, or does he still have some function and salary and office?

He still has a job, just not reconstruction minister

What a clown. Where do Japanese politicians come from? They all seem to have no common sense, and just the most bizarre things come out of their mouths all the time.

He's gonna get the death penalty

About 2 metres high? Well, safety measures finished there

Bloody horrible

She's hot

I guarantee that no athletes will want to be going to Fukushima

Speaking for Japan, Economics Minister Banri Kaieda pledged that his country “will take drastic measures to ensure the highest level of safety” for its reactor network.

Didn't he just say two days ago that all the nuclear plants in Japan are now safe enough to turn back on? They sure did quickly get up to the 'highest level of safety'

It also wouldn't surprise me if they didn't order any backup cartridges, because they expected them to last a few weeks

What a disaster

Standards have dropped a bit...

Its ok. I don't need to see the most popular articles though, just the newest.
