Cesium from finished school lunch in Miyagi

In Japan, most of the elementary schools serve school lunch. (Some of the junior high schools do too) Students basically have no rights to reject it or change it to home-made lunch box without a permission, even if the school lunch is radioactive.

In Miyagi prefecture, they measured 12 Bq/kg of cesium from finished school lunch. They mixed all of the food to detect cesium.

On 8/30/2012, it was served in Nakaniida junior high school, Miyagi. (About 130km from Fukushima plant)

Du césium dans les restes d’une cantine scolaire de Miyagi

Au Japon, la plupart des écoles élémentaires ont une cantine à midi. (Certaines préparatoires  et cours moyens également) Les élèves n’ont pas le droit de s’y soustraire ou d’apporter des repas préparés à la maison sans permission, même si la nourriture  servie est radioactive.

Dans la préfecture de Miyagi, ils ont relevé 12 Bq/kg de césium dans les restes de repas servis. Ils avaient tout mélangé pour en mesurer le césium.

Le 30 août 2012, ils en ont servi à l’école des cours préparatoires et moyens de  Nakaniida, dans Miyagi. (à environ 130 km de la centrale de Fukushima)

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.
