I saw cabbage butterfly only once this Spring (Because I didn’t go out so often ?), no brown rot that cherries have every year. have hardly seen a tree frog either. haven’t seen a swallow. Where did they go ? The dandelion beside the porch looks strange too..

[Tokyo] We live in such a circumstance of eastern Japan. In Kitanomaru park (North of imperial palace), double-headed dandelion was also found.

  1. we found a mutant baby turtle who had no front feet or claws – he has front legs but only stumps at the end. his hind legs seem intact. and we are way over here in northwest tennessee USA ♥ i love you

    1. Amy,my home is in the little pinkie area of Michigan, Traverse City is known as the Cherry Capital. First the weather practically ruined the crop and then there have been mutated fruit in doubles or triples. Farmers grow apples, peaches, nectarines and other fruits that are only now ripening. Everything is damaged by the terrific heat, drought conditions, and the radiation. Our nation was known as the breadbasket to the world and we are facing famine, illness and death from one source or another. Now, our leaders are continuing to beat the war drums and have sent our battleships to provoke the Russians and Chinese over Syria. Then onward to Iran. “Hell is empty, and all the Devils are here.” William Shakespeare.

    On trouve des plantes déformées dans une zone contaminée du Sud d’Ibaraki (mi-distance de Tokyo.

    茨城南部汚染地帯。春先モンシロチョウを一回しか見なかった(外に出なかったから?)。サクランボが毎年罹病する灰星病もなかった。今の所アマガエルもあまり見てないなー。ツバメも見なかった。みんなどこへ行っちゃたの?玄関先のタンポポは変だし… twitter.com/KazenoChisoku/…

    (Traduction) Je n’ai vu qu’une seule piéride du chou ce printemps (parce que je ne suis pas sorti souvent ?), pas de rouille brune que les cerisiers ont tous les ans. pas vu de grenouille arboricole non plus, même pas un moineau. Où sont-ils partis ? Le pissenlit à côté du porche a une forme étrange aussi…(Fin)

    と言われても…。我々東日本の国民はこんな環境で生活しているってことですね。北の丸公園(皇居の北側)ではこんな双頭のタンポポも  @watarihoukou なにこのシュールな写真。。。 twitter.com/KazenoChisoku/…

    1. Merci pour vos traductions à l’usage des non-anglophones ! Juste une petite remarque: swallow = hirondelle (et non moineau)

      Cordialement,
      So

  3. In Vancouver, British Columbia we are also seeing some minor mutations; my son caught 4 tadpoles, and we watched them become frogs. One of the four had no front legs, and we have not seen it in our small fish pond for a week or so. I think it might have died.

    We also had some mildly mutated spinach this week – grown locally. Instead of the usual leaves, it had triangular leaves, and threw out many stems from the main stock.I have never seen spinach like it before.These are definite mutations; the question is whether they are natural, or radiation induced. I fear the latter.

    We have many fewer flying insects and birds it seems, as well. I have seen only a few butterflies, and many fewer bees than is normal.

  4. There is a very strange abnormality occurring in my strawberry plant at this moment. One of the stems is 4 times normal length, grew some leaves and then continued to grow in length. Does anyone know where we can post photos of the strange things that now grow? I have several photos…. from Northern California. Kowai desu ne.

    1. That sounds like a so called “runner”, it will grow into a new plant if you let it.
      I hope that helps 😉

    1. Thanks! You should see the freak strawberry growing in my yard… still growing too. Yes documenting….

  5. I just have one question :
    I live in the South-East of France ; after Chernobyl accident, the CRIIRAD (independent lab) made a measurement campaign in the first 2000’s and found here a soil contamination of 4 000 – 10 000 bq/m2 and the INRS (official administration which measure the air radioactivity) found a average level of radiation of 0,07 – 0,12 µSv (with a maximum of 0,3 µSv in St Étienne, because of the coal mines – including the radon gas effect, very high in here, and the relative neighbouring of nuke plants – at 70-100 km), but, except in places very highly contaminated down in the South (30 000 bq/m2 or more, like in Bouches-du-Rhône), where I could observe in many places, in the firt 90’s, rosmary bushes that grows very strange (making waves instead of growing upright), there were no generalised mutations of the plants (you find very little few, as normal way).
    Do you think that can be related to the special kind of Fukushima fallout in Ibaraki area ? (other radioelements than césium, alpha and bêta emitters, even if we will maybe never know their exact composition or concentration) ?
    May be another explanation ?

    So

  6. For years I have used very much garlic in cooking. The other day I pealed two bulbs to use for dinner. One bulb had a very normal +/- 16 cloves beneath the outer paper membrane. The other had +/- 42 cloves! They were very skinny; nearly unusable. I never saw anything like this before. It was west coast (U.S) garlic. Also, have some very unique tomatoes growing in the garden with nearly triangular leaves. They have blossomed and have a few fruit on them. It has been very hot here. Will monitor.

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.
