Decontamination of houses under way, The Daily Yomiuri, Nov. 15, 2011:
According to the municipal government, decontamination operations were conducted on 26 households in two districts during the three weeks from Oct. 26 through Nov. 14. However, radiation levels dropped to target levels at only four of the households.
An official at the municipal government’s radiation-control division acknowledged the difficulty of removing radioactive substances. “Radiation levels will not drop as easily as expected. It takes a lot of time to decontaminate each house.”

And after the next rainfall, you’ll have to do it again. And again. And again. Oh wait, that’s only if you continue to measure, which I’m sure they won’t.

What are they measuring?
If they measure for dust, sure you can wash that off, but if you measure for things like actual radiation, gamma, beta and more, then you better dig out the soil of the entire area, and then do it again after each rain, because Fukush is still has numerous out of control raging nuclear fires.
SO how do they think that ‘decontamination’ will accomplish anything?

They are reporting this so it LOOKS like their doing something. A vicious circle much like a dog chasing it’s tail. Round and round it goes, not ever DECONTAMINATING.

We seem to have been given a choice. Death by asphyxiation or death by radiation poisoning.
