@kayko it falls where ever the wind blows and accumulates

@radioguy Can't figure out what or when grave is though. My grand daughter's ? Her's?
by Jim Carver 3/26/2011 9:39:29 PM
@kayko It depends a lot on what prefecture she is in. Some prefectures are seeing higher fallout levels, others have had no or barely any radiation. And it also matters where her water comes from, and her food/milk.

@hans It seems that they're raising the limits on Cesium so Japanese levels are not excluded? IS that right? The translation garbles it somewhat and my German is not quite up to it.
by radioguy 3/26/2011 9:40:04 PM
@Jim If they had to answer that question out loud they'd have never had an industry.
by radioguy 3/26/2011 9:40:59 PM
@hans Crikes, that's shocking if true, ie that they're thinking of raising the safety levels
by es 3/26/2011 9:41:04 PM
Hey all-- any updates?
by stef 3/26/2011 9:41:24 PM
Not as many as we'd like, but Japan is waking up, so...
by radioguy 3/26/2011 9:41:52 PM
@hans : this is unbelievable !
by Matsuoko 3/26/2011 9:42:39 PM
Is it wrong for me to say I wish the worst of it would finally happen so we can transition into recovery? And I do believe it's really going to get much worse.
by stef 3/26/2011 9:43:21 PM
@Jojo - Thanks - is there any website that gives this info for the different prefectures? (She is at the southern end of Nagano prefecture.) (I hate cluttering up this blog with personal requests...)
by kaykod 3/26/2011 9:43:53 PM
@Matsuko It is. Levels rising toward the limit? No problem. Raise the limit. These people have been around debt ceilings too long.
by radioguy 3/26/2011 9:44:13 PM
I think what is the most worrisome is the amount of problems already being created by a relatively small release(s).

@radioguy : right. the EU wants to double (!) the caesium levels that they established after chernobyl ! they plan it for Saturday, very fast !
by Matsuoko 3/26/2011 9:44:35 PM
It sounds to me like an admission that we're going to see levels above the old limit very soon, and they don't want to have to say "Radiation levels above the limit detected in Berlin food suppl."
by radioguy 3/26/2011 9:45:42 PM
Uh? I'm from germany and I didn't hear about any levels rising. I heard, that something of the Fukushima particles ar detected here, but very very minor.
@Dom Rats on a sinking ship eventually start to eat eachother don't they?

@kayko The failed Robot site above does crowd-sourced geiger readings. not quite the same but a useful tool anyway.
by radioguy 3/26/2011 9:48:56 PM
@radioguy yes raising the limits. this is not good
by hans 3/26/2011 9:49:20 PM
I here the tsunami and nuke disaster has added a new word to the Japanese language... Fly Jin, for those that flee Japan at the first sign of hardship.

here = hear
by radioguy 3/26/2011 9:50:20 PM
Kaykod, please try these links to get radiation data by prefecture:
@kaykod www.mext.go.jp That link provides fallout/water readings by prefecture. Nothing was detected in Nagano.

fleep.com . Sorry I keep hitting Enter when I mean to insert a newline character.
by Sky 3/26/2011 9:52:01 PM
@jojo @Sky Thanks for those links.
by radioguy 3/26/2011 9:52:38 PM
@Paul: You just read my mind.
by Dom 3/26/2011 9:52:40 PM
Bear in mind that several prefectures have had their data censored for a long time now and you cannot get the data from these sources. There are also several websites that post crowd-sourced radiation readings which might cover the area you area interested in. Please visit this page where some additional links have been collected: fukushima.wikispaces.com
by Sky 3/26/2011 9:54:22 PM
the problem is: nobody wants to check his food with a geiger counter. people trust in the established limits. if the EU now raises them, you will never get to know if your meat has 100 or 1200 Bq/kg. this is shit.
by Matsuoko 3/26/2011 9:54:33 PM
@Matsuoko agreed. terrifying!!
by Meretisa 3/26/2011 9:54:56 PM
www.mext.go.jp What is worry about that link, other than than there has NEVER been data for Fukushima/Miyagi prefectures, is that the fallout levels are rising. it's now 7500 MBq/km2 of Iodine in Yamagata prefecture, 1200 of Cesium. In Ibaraki it's 670 Iodine/160 Cesium. Tokyo 220 Iodine 12/cesium.
by Jojo 3/26/2011 9:55:10 PM
Well okay, I read it. But this relates "just" to food imports from japan. Haha. Great!
by Mejin 3/26/2011 9:55:32 PM
@Dom Hmmm... glad you got the drift! It was a clumsy analogy on second reading - sorry. I don't somehow think a drowning rat would be feeling too hungry!

kurusawa dreams. old japan film that is warning... www.youtube.com
by hans 3/26/2011 9:56:14 PM
I still can believe that EU wants to raise the levels... why? Unbelievable, I had to read it twice and the fact that they don't wanna check it by themself is absolutely shocking.
by Mina 3/26/2011 9:56:36 PM
@hans I remember that film. Chilling then. More chilling now probably.
