JAPAN: GOVERNMENT OK'S FAMILIES TO RESUME LIVING IN RADIOACTIVE FUKUSHIMA PREFECTURE DESPITE HEALTH RISKS

Japanese Government Okays Families To Resume Living In Radioactive Fukushima Prefecture Despite Heath Risks

In a country that has been devastated, tormented and terrorized by radiation now after several tragic events in history, including the dropping of “Fat Man” and most recently with the Fukushima Diachi Nuclear Power Plant Disaster, you would think the government would be more cautious around radiation.

TAMURA — The Japanese government has given the green light for residents to return for extended stays to the radiation infested area surrounding the Fukushima Diachi Nuclear Power Plant.

The Japan Daily Press reported, “the government has allowed residents to return home to the Miyakoji district of Tamura, Fukushima Prefecture beginning August 1, but very few have opted to return. The district is located within the 20 kilometer exclusion zone around the nuclear plant, but the government had the evacuation zone orders lifted in this area as early as April 2012. Decontamination work on the residential areas of the district has been completed at the end of June this year.”

Although some resident are skeptical and vow to never return, some are planning on going back.

Even more disturbing yet is radioactive objects are being found all over the coastal region.

In one case, Awa.Asahi.com reported, “On July 2, a fluffy object that looked like tree bark was found, followed by what looked like a black plastic sheet and wood chips with no elasticity on July 5.

One hypothesis is that the objects flowed down the Idegawa river, but that theory is highly implausible because all four objects were found at least 100 meters from the river.

Another theory is that the objects were swept out to sea from the Fukushima No. 1 plant and eventually washed ashore. The coastal levee that was once located in the area was destroyed by the tsunami that followed the Great East Japan Earthquake on March 11, 2011.

“Rubble likely was blown out into the ocean by the hydrogen explosions that occurred at the Fukushima No. 1 plant,” an official with the Naraha municipal government said. “There is the possibility that lighter objects were washed back ashore.”

Rumors are circulating among local residents that the objects were reactor building pieces that were blown away in the hydrogen explosions. But no similar objects have been found in areas further north that are closer to the nuclear plant.”

It’s amazing how loving the Japanese government truly is.
