SOURCE: Tokyo, Yokohama Expand Checks After Radiation ‘Hot Spots’ Found, Bloomberg, October 13, 2011:
[...] Other areas in Tokyo and Yokohama have reported radiation readings requiring further investigation, with most originating from local residents using personal dosimeters.
Setagaya adjoins Ota ward where radiation levels exceeding the ward’s own safety standard of 0.25 microsieverts per hour were detected at 13 schools, the Ota ward board of education said today. The tests are continuing at the schools. [...]
*Ota Ward should not be confused with the city of Ota in Gunma Prefecture, where ENENEWS has been ranked the #5 overall site for several weeks now, according to Alexa:

Add to that the dark suited workers and other anomalies...

no need to worry, just some left over radiation from bottles that were left in the trash can
silly gooses.
couldnt possibly be from fukushima, i mean its not like 3 nuclear reactors had their fuel melt out of their containments and melt their way through the ground.

Oh yeah its nothing to worry about, its just a “localized” hot spot thingy no one is in harms way….
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dnK6TfUF-cQ&feature=colike
The “expert” here says “localized” 7 times even very very localized twice…. and the radioactive wrist watch example is comedy material if it was not so criminal. He goes on to close with the fact that the overall readings are just what one would expect this time of year…. ya know the seasonal ceasium count… un freaking believable.
The piece goes on to suggest that its just the dillusional and paranoid who would be concerned and that children should simply avoid the footpath by the hot spot….
God save us from the BBC…

Japanese officials should be spending their time asking for aid from other countries in evacuating the children and immediate families !

so what ?
Assuming these readings wouldn’t have been caused by the fallout from the obvious reason – where do they derive from ?
Wouldn’t this mean that already the ‘safe’ usage of nuc-power polluted the land over the time – and wouldn’t this be an even more scary evident/argument to prove mans incapability to handle nuclear booty ?

0.25 mcSv/hr = 365x24x0.25 = 2.2mSv/year
What’s the beef? Japan’s safety standard is 20 mSv/year.
Nothing to see here. Move along. Baseless rumors.

It’s only about twice what is considered “safe”.

a bit more seriously..
“The district in the western part of the capital said earlier today it will expand tests in 258 locations after a local resident alerted authorities to a radiation spike that required partially blocking off a sidewalk to the public.”
once again it was a citizen with a personal detector coming upon some contamination….
for the last god knows how long (see rad monitor thread) i have been driving around south england and have discovered varied contamination situations…not too many but enough for me to know that a simple equipe of mopeds armed with instant responce gieger counters at ground and at 1 meter above ground, add a gps locator and send 100 of these bikes around tokyo…alarms could be set for hot spots so that another team armed with superior equipment and man power can move in and confirm the contamination…both air and ground….this is a mamoth task but the technology is there… tried and tested by me recently…it works and it would be a start!!
hope someones listening…

they do that (mopeds driving round) for dogshit in paris. officially, state payed. a dosimeter sounds easier to attach compared to a vacuum cleaner for dogshit.
it could also be done more integrated : http://www.youtube.com/user/deepgrewal22#p/a/u/2/baKav_qlVT8

arclight, you seen this? Safecast: http://maps.safecast.org/drive/193
This is people driving around and ‘mapping’ their readings. Great idea, especially in Japan.
Note map #193 is of the Los Angeles area. A “zoom in” of the city of Santa Monica, (sort of in the middle), shows over 105 cpm. (yellowish dots)

(UPDATED) New Twist on 4.7 Microsieverts/Hr Radiation in Setagaya-ku, Tokyo: Radon??
(UPDATE: They say it was most likely radium-226, the surface radiation was 600 microsieverts/hour.)

when people start to look strange things do appear all of a sudden, some even never looked for.
maybe they do a story of a dirty bomb gang hiding strange bottles for years ……. and now with all looking it is not fuku, no, it is the gang ……

In Funabashi (a few miles away) civic groups found 5.82 uSv/hr.
http://www.yomiuri.co.jp/national/news/20111013-OYT1T00678.htm (Japanese)
They measured 0.91 uSv in the same spot on April 13. That will give you an idea of how much radiation has accumulated since the plant became “under control”.

there was a village in germany with houses from 1600 something. pretty houses till the inhabitants detected that mercury was produced there 300 years ago. they noticed when renovating the groundfloor, under the wood was a small mercury sea….. and they wondered about their health issues all those years.
Only to point out that funny things lay around in mass. like the sharp bomb used as schoolbell elsewhere in africa.

I wish the people of the affected areas of Japan would leave and migrate to the far south as soon as possible. My heart cannot handle this much longer. It is really too much.
Japan has been nuked a 3rd time (after Hiroshima, Nagasaki) but the people do not even know it. People fear the explosion from a nuclear bomb but it is what is spread from the blast that is deadly for those who escape the initial blast. Fukushima is many, many times worse than the previous nuclear attacks on Japan and yet the people sit there and try to forget what is happening right before them. Also the world sits by and does nothing. Please, oh please someone fix this all.

There was a Frenchman who saw world war 2 was coming, and decided to move. He went to an island nobody has heard about before, and its name was – Guadalcanal.
A tale familiar to all Japanese.
