Fukushima parents dish the dirt in protest over radiation levels, Guardian, May 2, 2011:
[...] A group claiming to represent 250 parents in Fukushima visited the upper house of parliament and presented government officials with a bag of radioactive dirt from the playground of one of the affected schools. A geiger counter clicked over it with a reading of 38 millisieverts. [...]

Click on my name and on the RADIATION page there are solutions to the radiation, which are very good for neutralizing all that radioactive sludge. The sun is also working on our behalf to eliminate radiation.
