West coast of Japan 10 times more contaminated than mandatory evacuation zone in Belarus

Following up this article..1.4 μSv/h of alpha ray in Niigata

500,000Bq/kg of cesium was measured on the roof of Yamagata university, announced in Yamagata prefectural disaster committee on 5/30/2011.

It was the dust accumulated around the drain on the roof of the university building.

Yamagata prefecture is on the west coast of Japan, thought to be relatively less contaminated than east coast.(100km away from Fukushima plants)

West coast of Japan 10 times more contaminated than mandatory evacuation zone in Belarus3

Though it was measured one year ago, evacuation order has not been given out.

As a reference though this is not natural soil, comparing it with the contamination level in Belarus in the same way as this,

it’s 10 times higher than the mandatory evacuation limit.

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.
