Setagaya ku turns down 38% of the decontamination requests and they can decrease it by only 65%

According to their HP, from this January to July, Setagaya ward in Tokyo received 65 requests for decontamination at least.

Setagaya ward is the biggest ward in Tokyo and Japan, the population is 885,149 on 7/1/2012.

They are to receive the requests when people measure over 0.23 μSv/h.

However, they turn down 38% of the requests because “the local government measured lower radiation level for their follow-up test”.

Even when they decontaminate the hotspots, they can decrease the radiation level by only 65% at average. (0.40 μSv/h → 0.14 μSv/h)

The natural back ground is 0.04 μSv/h. It’s still 3.5 times higher than natural back ground even after the decontamination.

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.
