Fukushima, Tokyo log fewer births, Kyodo, Nov. 17, 2011:
The number of births between April and June slumped 25 percent in Fukushima Prefecture and also declined significantly in Tokyo, Chiba and Kanagawa prefectures, but the tally rose in northern and western Japan, a recent survey showed.
The Japan Association of Obstetricians and Gynecologists, which conducted the nationwide survey, believes many pregnant evacuees gave birth in areas they considered to be at less risk of radioactive fallout from the Fukushima nuclear crisis.
Based on valid responses from about 750 hospitals that handle deliveries, the association estimated there were 1,000 fewer births from the previous year in Fukushima Prefecture, and a combined total of 2,000 fewer newborns in Tokyo, Chiba and Kanagawa prefectures. [...]

Lots of the population of these areas were swept out to sea and now they are suffering the onset reactions to radiation. Blaming it all on the Tsunami may be one of the excuses the industry pigs try to publish in response to this article. I would say the results of lower birth rates have to do with both of these factors.

Anxieties grow about radiation costs / No clear criteria, answers from TEPCO have municipalities fearful for budgets
Tomoaki Tomita and Tatsuya Nozaki / Yomiuri Shimbun Staff Writers
A growing number of municipalities are demanding that Tokyo Electric Power Co. compensate them for costs related to the ongoing nuclear crisis at the Fukushima No. 1 nuclear power plant.
TEPCO has specified the terms under which it will compensate companies and other entities, based on guidelines set by the government, but it has revealed no such terms for municipal governments.
On Wednesday afternoon, Mayor Yoshio Kusama of Takahagi, Ibaraki Prefecture, visited TEPCO’s headquarters in Tokyo. Takahagi is about 80 kilometers from the plant.

Now a preliminary report published in PLoS ONE finds that the dangers may not be as grave as we first feared. Over on TIME’s Ecocentric blog, our colleague Bryan Walsh reports:
The PLoS study, led by Ikuo Kashiwakura, found only 10 people among those surveyed with high levels of radiation exposure — and even those levels were not elevated enough to require decontamination. (The study covered March 15 to June 20.) Almost everyone else surveyed had low to nonexistent levels of radiation contamination, while the Hirosaki [University] staff members on site had undetectable radiation levels.
That’s not to say that radiation-related health problems won’t arise in the future, however, and scientists will need to keep long-term tabs on residents, Walsh reports — but it could have been much worse.

its a small drop for the 90 days post meltdown.
It will get worse

We can’t blame just the reactor for all the woes, the poor people of fukushima and surrounding areas are still struggling to just ‘live’.
Procreation is on the bottom of the list. It’s like saying drive by shootings in fukushima have gone down while sales of bottled water are up!
