They did a show on NHK following them for 2 months as they accumulated their data. It shows more detail than what MEXT had shown at their site. MEXT at the time didn't even list the locations. Their data was submitted to the government and that is what led them to increase the evacuation zone distances.<br /><br />The conclusion was that a larger (28km+) radius, than what was said, is contaminated with very high levels of radioactive material, that has a life of over 45 years. In some areas more than Chernobyl.<br /><br />In the cities with many paved areas the radioactive material is low because it cannot adhere. Areas closer to the plant actually had less material in the town than farm lands further away.<br /><br />Tested samples of vegetation had absorbed the radiation and are now radioactive.<br /><br />Basically, considering current data, many areas of Fukushima prefecture is too contaminated to live or work at and will be for over 40 years. Japan will have a continued problem of radiation for decades.<br /><br />Fukushima plant still needs at least 7 months to even come close to under control, as all three reactors exploded and melted down. Far as I remember at least one melted through the floor of the containment vessel.<br /><br />I do not see how this cannot be considered worse than Chernobyl, as that was only one reactor.JTnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2207076947655236975.post-82960906300538159652011-06-12T22:31:20.722+09:002011-06-12T22:31:20.722+09:00"I wish I were a stooge for the nuclear indus..."I wish I were a stooge for the nuclear industry.
