Radiation level of Japanese cedar is 20 times much as back ground, Tokyo to have 5~6 times much as pollen this year

Radiation level of 20 times higher than background was measured from Japanese cedar leaves. The sample was taken from Fukushima.

According to Tokyo Metropolitan government, the amount of the pollen from Japanese cedar and Japanese cypress will be 5~6 times much as last year. It will start coming out from 2/15/2013. *1  The pollen may not come from the leaves like this sample measured but it is confirmed the mountain and forest are still highly contaminated.

Le niveau de radioactivité de cèdres japonais est de 20 fois supérieur à celui qui l’entoure, Tokyo va avoir 5 à 6 fois plus de pollens cette année

Un niveau de radioactivité 20 fois supérieur à celui autour a été relevé dans des feuilles de cèdre japonais. L’échantillon a été pris dans Fukushima.

Selon le gouvernement de la métropole de Tokyo (~Conseil Régional), la quantité de pollen des cèdres japonais et des cyprès japonais sera 5 à 6 fois celle de l’an dernier. Ça devrait commencer à partir du 15 février 2013. *1 Le pollen pourra ne pas provenir de feuilles comme celles de l’échantillon mais il est confirmé que que les forêts et les montagnes sont toujours hautement contaminés

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.
