[ RadSafe ] Two Japanese Towns are Uninhabitable

[Davies, Mike]

We have found quite a lot a confusing with translations - we have come
to believe that 'aerial' and 'air' doserate simply mean non-contact
measurements - normally at 1 metre.

I would guess it's a translation issue, or just confusion based on
measurements made one meter above ground.  Here's another version of the
same story that seems a little less garbled:

One thing that seems a bit odd to me is the claim that radiation in air
can not be reduced - Please, read and comment on this article; I have a
feeling that something very important has been left unsaid.

Thanks.
