Title: A Fukushima citizen proved monitoring post was manipulated

Mr. Ito Nobuyoshi, a Fukushima farmer compared the radiation level of a monitoring post to the one of a different place, and found a recognizable gap of the radiation level.

Because those 2 places are only 5 m away from each other, this proves the monitoring post was “decontaminated” to make the radiation level look lower than actual at least in Iidate mura.

Today I measured the sand underneath the monitoring post of MEXT with a gamma ray survey meter. It was 0.6μSv/h.

Measured radiation level at the place where is only 5m away from the monitoring post. On the ground, it was 5.52 μSv/h (↑920%), at 1m above the ground, it was 1.19 μSv/h (↑198%). Now it’s clear that MEXT changed the sand around the monitoring post. Why do they do such a thing ? They are fooling us.

There is a map sculpted on the stone in front of a community hall. It was 3.40 μSv/h.

On the root of a tree nearby, it was 15.4 μSv/h.

This is the parking lot in front of the community hall after “decontamination”. It was 15.3 μSv/h. It’s been where they put contaminated soil from decontamination temporarily. The parking lot for police cars nearby was 8.02 μSv/h, which is about half of the 15.3, but still it’s high. Decontamination is proven to be meaningless.

Mr. Hasegawa, a cattle farmer from Iidate mura states the monitoring post data of Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology is manipulated.

On 2/20/2012, he held a press conference for his publishing the book titled “Having my hometown taken away by the nuclear.” In this conference, he stated, last November, Taisei corporation, which was outsourced for decontamination by the government, had 10 of their employees wash the monitoring post by high-pressure water and changed the whole soil of the base.

According to MEXT, the radiation level of Iidate mura in 2/20 was 0.755 microSv/h. However, another monitoring post was showing 3 microSv/h.

Additionally, on 3/14, when reactor 3 exploded, the dosemeter in town councilor was showing 40 microSv/h, but the staff of town hall told him not to tell it to anyone because the town mayor forbids it.

Assistant professor Imanaka from Kyoto university checked the radiation level around in the town late in March but the town mayor requested him not to disclose it either.

Mr. Hasegawa talks, public bureaucrat from Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry is following after the town mayor for town hall, press conference and anywhere. Now all the media needs his permission to contact with the town mayor. [...]
