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. [...]

Mori Yuko, an upper house member, said she was disgusted by the decision to loosen the safety limit [from 1 to 20 millisievert/year]. “Would politicians and bureaucrats allow their own children to go to a contaminated school,” she said. “This makes me furious.” [...]

[T]he allegations of cover-ups and shifting safety baselines are taking a heavy political toll. A mere 1.3% of respondents in a weekend poll by the Kyodo news agency thought Kan was exercising sufficient leadership. [...]

    ‘Crisis man-made: Tepco
    P. S. Suryanarayana

    It has been credibly acknowledged for the first time that the continuing nuclear radiation crisis at the Fukushima Daiichi power station in Japan is “partially a man-made disaster”.’

    Folks in Japan: GET GRANDMA, THE KIDS (& PETS), PACK YOUR BAGS, AND MOVE. NOW.

    I hear that the Hokkaido island area may be more safe, but I wouldn’t take a chance anymore with little children…

    At least it will be an economic boon for moving and relocation companies?… And it’s not that hard to get a temporary visa somewhere while fleeing a disaster.

    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.

      Thanks for the info. I am worried about a family member who flew to China and home in that radioactive cloud. Now, they are pathologically tired. : (

    That 1% is probably accurate to within a margin of error of plus or minus 3 percent
