Source: [link to en.wikipedia.org] But as you can see in the Original the Numbers are going down and only Futaba/ Fukushima looks bad but only a bit above like Akita, Aomori and Hokkaido they cant detect any Airborne Radiation anymore which is very good for us and the People there! Nearly all of our Milk Products is coming from Hokkaido. Last Edited by the mighty Atom on 10/04/2012 11:40 AM G.Y.!B.E. |

It's not obvious that the Gunma site is closer, or much closer, than the Saitama site to Tokyo, and wind and currents would play some role. Wind normally blows west to east doesn't it? So the Gunma site would be straight upwind of the leaking reactors. Couldn't that explain the measurements? |

| Anonymous Coward User ID: 25008029 United States10/05/2012 10:18 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Scientists in groundbreaking study on effects of radiation in Fukushima Quoting: Anonymous Coward 25008029 [...] In April last year, researchers from Nippon Veterinary and Life Science University (NVLU), along with other institutions, began sampling muscle tissue of wild Japanese macaques caught in the provincial capital, Fukushima, for radioactive cesium content. The concentrations ranged between 10,000 and 25,000 becquerels per kilogram immediately after the nuclear crisis began to unfurl the month before. The readings fell to 500-1,500 becquerels per kg in June, but rose again to more than 2,000 becquerels per kg from last winter to spring. The seasonal variations presumably occurred because the macaques ate leaf buds, which are said to absorb radioactive cesium in high concentrations, the scientists said. [...] The Environment Ministry started sampling flora and fauna in Fukushima Prefecture last November because past research focused solely on the impact on humans. This was due to a general assumption that humans and other mammals are more susceptible to the effects of radiation [Emphasis added].
