On 6/2/2015, a Japanese citizen posted his radiation test video on Youtube. The measurement was implemented on the same day.

This person has been posting his measurement videos since 2 years ago.

The location is Haramachi-ku, Minamisoma city (map attached below). The radiation level was 1.1 μSv/h at about 1m above the ground (estimated) but it jumps up to over 12 μSv/h on the ground.

A city nursery school is only 200m from the measurement place. It is not known if the school is still open.

According to the municipal government, 2 of 5 public nursery schools are still open and 5 of 8 public kindergartens are also still open.

Cette personne publie ses relevés vidéo depuis 2 ans.

C’est à Haramachi-ku, commune de Minamisoma (carte ci-dessous). Le niveau de radioactivité était de 1,1 μSv/h à environ 1 m du sol (estimé) mais il grimpe à plus de 12 μSv/h au sol.
Une crèche municipale se situe à seulement 200 m de l’endroit mesuré. On ne sait pas si elle est toujours ouverte.
Selon la municipalité, 2 des 5 crèches municipales sont toujours ouvertes et 5 des 8 maternelles publiques sont toujours en activité.

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.
