Thousands evacuate as Fukishima nuclear emergency is declared

[Peter Lemkin]

The Nuclear and Industrial Safety Agency's decontamination manual released in July says municipalities can bury such waste if radioactivity levels are 8,000 becquerels or less per kilogram. But the manual does not mention final disposal sites.

"We are aware of the need to show our policy," a NISA official said. However, the agency does not appear to be close to deciding on where the contaminated waste will end up.

That delay has led to the secrecy among municipal officials.

"It would be difficult to gain the consent of residents when we try to secure a waste disposal site," a Fukushima municipal official said. "The national government does not mention anything about how we can specifically cope with the situation under such circumstances."

The Japanese people need to abandon their deference to authority and start stopping this shit.

Unless they want large swathes of their largest island to become a Forbidden Zone.

Buying topsoil, etc. is not even a temporary solution - and there is no permanent one for it. One can slightly alleviate the imminent dose by scraping off the top layers of soil and putting them in mines, etc....but there is a constant 'rain' on new radioactive particles coming by air, wind, water, animals and other means. Look very bad for Japan...small island...large population....lots of radiation....enough for everyone there to have lethal dose, I'm afraid...unless they try some radical and quick thinking outside of their tea-ceremony boxes.
