@lilly I haven't, but I am not tuned into daily Japanese news. Most of what I hear from people working up there is that the economic devastation continues. I wouldn't be surprised if there is a jobs program, but it would likely be as robust as the ones the republicans support in congress.

Tomorrow I will be at the HICARE and IAEA symposium here in town on the effects of radiation on the body. I'll post about it when I'm home. The venue usually is 3G inaccessible so I probably
won't be able to tweet from there.

More food co-ops and food retailers do rad testing with lower than govt thresholds www.asahi.com

in the US, the national organic standards make it illegal for any organic certifier to assert that it tests to a higher standard than the dirt floor low standard of the national law. You just have to know which certifiers actually check and which don't.

Our import laws are that money talks, and many importers have been trusted companies for 100 years blah blah blah....

Saga gov't was aware of Kyushu Electric manipulating public debate

SAGA, Japan, Nov. 22, Kyodo

The Saga prefectural government indicated Tuesday that it was aware that Kyushu Electric Power Co. had encouraged its employees to speak in support of a planned plutonium-thermal power generation project at the local Genkai nuclear power plant during a public forum in 2005.

In a report submitted to the prefectural assembly, the local government said it was aware that Kyushu Electric had prepared arguments for the so-called pluthermal project, effectively admitting it had accepted the utility's attempt to manipulate the prefecture-sponsored forum.

The report denied that Saga Gov. Yasushi Furukawa was involved in the matter. english.kyodonews.jp

From what your saying I am assuming what Elaine found outside (big rips in the ground) follows suit inside the buildings. There are so many places outside where the ground moved a bunch, dips, holes, thrust up spots. The whole place moved more than just the shaking.

@M.I.A. parts moved 17 inches. I have a crazy day. When I get a chance will grab stills from the videos as I go through them. We can add this to Elaine's findings to continue to paint the picture of this epic mess. TEPCO tries to give the media impression that things are normal there.

@M.I.A. Dean was talking about plutonium batteries a while back.
