新学期から制限解除 郡山市、小中校の屋外活動
郡山市の公立小中学校は昨年5月以降続けてきた児童、生徒の屋外活動を1日3時間以内とする制限を新学期から解除する。24日までに郡山市教委が発表した。
これまでは体育などの屋外活動は1日1時間以内、部活動は2時間以内としてきた。校庭の表土除去などにより空間放射線量が平均で毎時0.2マイクロシーベルトとなったため、安全性が確保できたと判断し制限解除を決めた。
市教委は、長時間にわたり屋外で活動する際は、1週間の中で屋外活動時間を調整して対応するとしている。また、屋外プールの使用について検討している。

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.
