"experiments".....you can get the impression that all this is an experiment, like hieroshima and nagasaki.

Hey folks, a little report from out here in the outer reaches of Honshu. I was talking with my Japanese teacher today, Hiroshima born and bred. She has always been a little more informed on the Fukushima situation than many (she is a school principle). She told me that she and her husband were talking and that they thought for the first few months that while the Fukushima situation was terrible, it didn't affect us in Hiroshima, it affected people in Tohoku. But now, because of the food situation, they have come to grasp that it actually does affect all parts of Japan, and that Hiroshima will be very much affected by this. She said that she had thought that many of the foreigners were being foolish when they acted like the problem was in "all of Japan" and not just Eastern Japan, but now she thinks that maybe they were right. There are probably a lot of people in areas around Japan who thought that they were removed from this problem who are beginning to realize that this is the beginning, not the end.

good morning to all

be safe elaine

no doubt they have a "large area" for the trial

books.google.com lots of information from chernobyl contamination... page 24 interesting information

Going through the pile of news links I have open, working on a news roundup. If anyone has a piece they think we need to include let me know.

@Bobby1 - Hi!

it's a hope for the home owner and on larger scale for communities

@Dean, I wonder if we should be talking to the manufacturer rather than the filter retailer but not sure who manufactures. I need to talk to the retailer a bit more and she what she is interested in doing for bulk buys. I am thinking if we can get a connection with the orphanage maybe we could do an initial kickstarter project to fund the total need at the orphanage (water filters, hepa filters, rad detectors) that would give us a full project under our belts. I could probably get one of the detectors for them out of the initial run from the rad detector group.

From one of the decontamination stories "They are also planning to sprinkle this chemical blend to rice paddies and pastures." I read elsewhere about farmers in Hawaii putting boron and zeolite into their soil.

@lilly.. the man at the NU-WATER is the person who invented the filters... it would be good

@Bobby1 Mayo, Cleveland Clinic etc. We have two big regional cancer centers here. If Philly is detecting ours would be off the charts.

www.houseofjapan.com tokyo government building it's own thermal power plant.. plan to use natural gas

@Bobby1 Mom of 3 said there was a NPP upstream that had had issues before.

@Peter, Thanks for finding that link. I think I have enough to make a post connecting all these ideas and groups. It might be enough to get passed around where those that want to do something get the idea and who to approach.
