[quote:Southern OR:MV8xNTM3MTQ2XzMwMTM5MDE0XzYxQ0E2QkVC] Holes in radiation decontamination law leave some Fukushima residents in doubt Snip The Ministry of the Environment has drawn up guidelines based on the new law on special measures for the handling of radioactive contamination, but these guidelines do not take indoor decontamination into account. The reason for this, a ministry representative explains, is because the special measures law was drafted with "environmental" contamination in mind. However, one worker in the prefecture who has been involved in the decontamination of public facilities says that a considerable amount of indoor decontamination work needs to be done. He says that when readings are taken on top of lockers, near carpets and in other places where it is easy for dust to gather, tens of thousands of counts per minute (cpm) are sometimes measured. This is far above the government standard for decontaminating humans or objects, which stands at 13,000 counts per minute (a dosage of about 0.1 microsieverts per hour). "Any places connected with the air outside, such as ventilators or the cracks between windows will contain radioactive materials, without fail," the worker says. "If these materials are left there, it could result in internal radiation exposure. Indoor decontamination should be made compulsory." http://mdn.mainichi.jp/mdnnews/news/20120316p2a00m0na017000c.html [/quote]
