[Designer Hilda] Hellström flew to Fukushima to gather soil from the rice farm of Naoto Matsumura, the last known person still living inside the evacuation zone. (In a heart-wrenching video, Matsumura admits he wanted to stick around to tend to his animals. We also find out that he tried to flee to his extended family’s house, but they turned him away because they thought he was radioactive.)

The refusal to have people who have been exposed to radiation join into family or community groups outside the exposure area..this is not new. Sad, but not new. Just wait….it will get a lot worse. Wonder what the Japanese government is going to do when highly radiated citizens want to move to less contaminated areas? Think we see the start with the encouragement to return evacuees to areas outside the 20KM zone from shelters. And then what happens?…they become radiated even worse..and will have no place which will accept them later. Genocide is another word for it..

Yes, Genocide !
Sooner or later, there will be 2 kind of human being on earth.
Radiated and non radiated.. We have no choice to be racialism when the day comes..
Actions must be taken, now

the biological half-life of Cs is about 70 days — 30 if you take Prussian Blue. this means that if you do not take any more in you can clear your system (excreted in the urine) in 700 days (300 days with PB). They should have sampled his urine for testing along with the soil.
It is sad, but he probably is radioactive. this could be the ethical dilema of our time.

People used to discriminate against those with cancer, Aids, single mothers, gays, etc..
Victims of Hiroshima, Nagasaki, Chernobyl and FUKU are also discriminated against, if they DISCLOSE this.
The victims sadly learn it is better to keep it all secret, hide everything and never say anything about nuclear or radiation at all.. The dual discrimination and victimization process serves to keep the power structure the way it is.
On the corporate side, they teach the medical profession to deny radiation causes harm, refuse to test for it, and never tell them how to recognized low level radiation poisoning.
Combine the above with secrecy, no mass media coverage of what is REALLY going on and you have a dysfunctional, monopolistic, sociopathic, narcissistic system that tries it's best to destroy the credibility of anyone threatening to expose it.

nicely said AGreen Road and so true. boils down to trust/love/cooperation vs fear/buttonpushing/powermongering.
I'd like to add fear of nuclear reactors. but its one thing to say no to a relative, another to go to jail for protesting seriously.
then there's the to-be gene tests for dating services.
it would be nice for the government to auspice testing and counselling for those who will harbor evacuees. but how do you test for every particle? put in blender then scan?
it would have been simpler to stick to the horse and buggy and have conventional wars and famines to keep the population down.
it would have better to have invented something called civilisation.
