Might shine some light on the subject to say "increased from what value to what value".

But just in case, if that is data from the KEK institute, I'd like to remind that that is NOT statistical data for the whole country/prefecture. This is point measurement, and air currents change concentrations. Weather patterns around Fukushima have been weirdly linear, and you'd get different measurements results elsewhere.[/quote]

Sorry,my mistake, I was trying to say I realised that the legal safe limit of I-131 & Cesium set by the government were increased 10 times than before the disaster. Any debate on this?

Of course. I would not have known if they were not, and that is why you have to learn how to read Kanji :rolleyes:

Do you ever think of mislabelling?

Even here in Osaka, there are some events where they sell produce from Tohoku area and by the end of the day, all items were sold out. It just goes to show that majority of the population are not concern with the radiation.

Serious? Of course it is the products that are not banned by the govt. right?

The products aren't really banned by the government per se..you can still buy beef or veggies or whatever from Tohoku if you feel like it..It's just that in around four prefectures right now farmers are not allowed to ship beef etc. anymore..they call it shukka teishi 出荷停止
Which means it wouldn't hit the markets in the first place anyways

Those who fear radiation so much I'm assuming also refrain from international flights, since you get quite a lot more radiation from being that high up in the air that long (in my case 13 hours US East Coast<->Japan) than you do from eating a Japanese diet while living in Japan (excluding Fukushima) for a long period of time.

Now ,why would they do that :confused:

I have to agree on what Lonthego posted.
I think you will get more radiation by just microwaving your food, or die faster by consuming more mcdonald burger :p

Ooooh! My wife laughed out loud on that! :vsign:
She is really disgusted at the image of a salaryman. That's why I'm not allowed to wear white shirts with pressed pants.

I can think of several reasons, all are numerations in yens. Oh, sarcasm! Sorry!

I heard a rumour that salad has been relabelled in Kanto area in some shops.

Pathetic attempt to retain the appearance of legality while throwing ethics straight to the toilet. It's "whaling for scientific purposes", explaining unpreparedness of Fukushima Daiichi by trying to tell that tsunamis in the most tsunami-stricken coastline in the world "are so rare and small that no special measures were needed".

Must be embarrassing to Tepco that Onagawa nuclear plant (run by Tohoku Electric Power Company) was also hit by a tsunami big enough not to make any difference at Fukushima Daiichi, but was deflected at the barriers. Souteigai my ass! :mad:

Hm. Ok.... Thk you everyone for your reply. Greatly appreciated.

Government lied because you can't evacuate 17,000,000 people. Nuclear industry is huge and has much sway on government policies, in Japan and elsewhere.

They're still figuring that the panic of TRUTH is pointless, I suppose.

The eggsucking bourgeois apologist swine downplaying the damage in Fukushima should commit ritual suicide.

USA is ripe to be next and seems much more corrupt than Japan. Americas Nuclear Nightmare | Rolling Stone Politics

Even China updated their nuclear regulatory practices after this incident. USA now stands alone in total neglect, self denial and ignorance.

I just learned that low radiation means cancer at a later year. What's you guys take on this?
