Title: Irradiated gravel used for Fukushima condominium
Source: NHK WORLD English
Date: Sunday, January 15, 2012 22:48 +0900 (JST)
Officials in Fukushima Prefecture say they have detected high levels of radiation in a new building. They say a construction material may have been tainted with radioactive substances from the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant.
The officials say the contamination was found at a 3-story apartment building in Nihonmatsu City that was completed last July.
The city checked the condo for radiation in December after regular monitoring found that children living there had been exposed to higher levels of radiation than other children over a 3-month period.
The city found that the radioactive cesium level on the first floor was 1.24 microsieverts per hour, which is higher than outside. [...]

Japan’s industry ministry says it has set no radiation standards for gravel shipments from areas affected by the accident at the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant.
The ministry’s admission came after high levels of radiation were detected in a new building [...]

AS EX-SKF points out, radioactivity may also be in the ash used to make cement and other building materials:

Hope the will get heard...

What in the hell is wrong with these people. Does the government have to tell them that KAK laced gravel from Fukushima and beyond is bad? Why can’t these people take it upon themselves to test and discriminate the bad out? Are they that seriously damaged, that they have to be towed around by their noses. Is just everything contaminated so much that they don’t give a damn about their children? If things are that bad, have they just given up hope?
I’m out, this is beyond disgusting…

Japan’s Government-Industrial Complex to Create Small “Japan” in Southern India
The news was there on Yomiuri Shinbun on January 5, 2012, but little noticed until someone picked it up and spread on Twitter overnight.
The Japanese government in close collaboration with the big businesses in Japan is to build a city in southern India that will house 50,000 people, with “Japanese-quality” infrastructure including seaside resort, industrial park, hospital, shopping mall, and golf course (of course).
Many on Twitter are speculating that this is part of the plan by the Japan’s political and business elites to abandon ship (Japan), and part of the reason for the Noda administration’s insistence on the tax hike despite the incipient recession.

Wow! That’s one I missed CaptD. So the Government is taking care of it’s own, but not the people. CRIMINAL! I hope the Japanese speak out about this and QUICK!!

Certainly top-down orders from somewhere. This list needs updated, but HP was bought out by Time Warner Aol last year. It seems TW has many avenues to block vital Fukushima info from getting through to the world

@Jebus: Japanese culture is one where the people desperately seek to avoid individual judgement or responsibility opting instead to rely HEAVILY on external, pre-set rules for guidance. If no rules exist unfortunately there often is no sound judgement to fall back on. This is true everywhere from nuke plants to convenience stores.

To me that position seems just as true if you substitute the phrase “Modern Western” for the word “Japanese”.

I would say this is unbelievable, but the way the Japanese government has abandoned the people of Japan it is sadly believable. I keep hoping that someone in the government will step up and put an end to this madness; building home with radioactive gravel and cement, is so callus and inhumane that makes the future of Japan look very bleak. At least for the people that eat the tainted food, drink tainted water and live in contaminated houses.

@ Replacant,
i do not know where you are from and i don’t care
because this is not important for me but have a look
to your own Building Laws, i am sure that there are no Rules for a Radioactive Maximum,
afaik. only some Scandinavian Countries and maybe
Germany have Rules for this!
What i don’t understand is where they got the Cement from and why was it still in sale
or was this a planned criminal Act!
Report Comment
I imagine it was young families that moved in. Oh this makes me so angry! It leaves the question – how many more have been built with this contaminated cement?!?! HOw many more?
Report Comment
They have been building many for the folks displaced by the tsunami/accident !
Need to check all that have been constructed since the evacuations and accident !
Remember the steel beams in bridges and concrete being radioactive also !

No, there is radiation standard in China. No matter how poorly it is practiced, but it is there.

Replacant,
You can bank it that if it happened here it would be the same, “Katrina” ! When the H1 strain came out the Prez told us all that there May come a time where the Gov. may not be able to help you, … Then came B P oil gusher, not one person evacuated and many should have been with readings off the charts !
Ft Calhoun/ Las Alamos/ others will be more said about later I am sure !

Exactly, xdrfox. The apartment building story seems little different from the infamous “FEMA trailer” story after Katrina, or the ongoing First Nations housing stories from my country (Canada).
I think it’s unhelpful to view this as a Japanese story, although obviously it’s taking place in Japan. Lessons from the story are about governments rather than about Japanese governments, I believe.
Governments do this kind of thing to their people all the time – usually to the poorest and weakest, but they can and will do it to anyone. More often than not it’s just sloppiness, red tape and human error rather than malice, I think, but it’s still horrible if you are one of the victims.
Government – any government, anywhere – is a very blunt instrument at best.

I forgot about the FEMA Formaldehyde trailers, there was an article recently that FEMA was still selling them but with warnings as if warning stickers keep people with no where else to go from living in the trailers. Katrina is one example, but so is the oil spill I assume they still allow fishing after oil spill last year since oil isn’t washing up on the shore, but I would feel there are petroleum contamination. It’s not that the US doesnt allow people to live in toxic waste sites, google ‘Love Canel’. It’s just astounding that a nuclear plant exploded and the Japanese government is acting as if there won’t be effects from the fallout and don’t monitor food and water and now buildin with radioactive gravel literally cementing the radiation contamination for years, crazy making.

Yes, Replacant, Love Canal certainly makes the list too.
Bureaucrats have behaved like bureaucrats for centuries but the stakes used to be so small that humanity muddled through.
The bureaucratic culture (worldwide) is well defined and well documented – Voltaire’s “Zadig” from 1747, Gilbert and Sullivan’s “Mikado” from 1885, Heller’s “Catch 22″ from 1961 – all very funny indeed when the stakes are small and when the victims are at arm’s length.
With nuclear issues the stakes are at extinction-level height. We’re all either along for the ride or agents in the process of change.
SHUT THEM ALL DOWN
