[ RadSafe ] Japanese Radioactive Levels Claimed to be too highfor Farming

[Jim Hardeman]

Otto --
 
Not surprising. The Tokyo Health Department, at their official monitoring location near Yokata Air Base, recorded a total deposition of Cs-134 + Cs-137 of ~14 kBq/m3 as of the end of April. Throw in a little wind and rain to redistribute it a little ... and voila.
