東京に暮らす夫婦と話した。会社にわざわざ学者が来て、今の汚染の数値は取るに足りない数値で、飛行機乗ったりCTスキャン受けたりする方が……という説明を聞いて、皆で安心したらしい。飛行機もCTも24時間受ける人おらんし内部被爆も起こらん。安心したらあかんと話しながら泣きとうなった。

“Talked to my friends in Tokyo.They said,”an expert” came to their company,and explained the current radiation level is not a dangerous level at all,like boarding or having a CT scan is more risky etc..and they say they were reassured.but Nobody boards that many times and nobody has CT scan for around the clock.and none of them causes internal exposure.I almost cried.”

About this site

This website updates the latest news about the Fukushima nuclear plant and also archives the past news from 2011. Because it's always updated and added live, articles, categories and the tags are not necessarily fitted in the latest format.
I am the writer of this website. About page remains in 2014. This is because my memory about 311 was clearer than now, 2023, and I think it can have a historical value. Now I'm living in Romania with 3 cats as an independent data scientist.
Actually, nothing has progressed in the plant since 2011. We still don't even know what is going on inside. They must keep cooling the crippled reactors by water, but additionally groundwater keeps flowing into the reactor buildings from the broken parts. This is why highly contaminated water is always produced more than it can circulate. Tepco is planning to officially discharge this water to the Pacific but Tritium is still remaining in it. They dilute this with seawater so that it is legally safe, but scientifically the same amount of radioactive tritium is contained. They say it is safe to discharge, but none of them have drunk it.
