Japanese Food Radioactive

Japanese Food Radioactive

Nuclear power? We don’t have a hope. These people are so far off the track they should be classified as stark raving lunatics. The population is not out on the street demanding the removal of all the lunatics? They must all be lunatics too.
– Tony Boys, nuclear crisis archive
Damnably unstable atoms have been carelessly released from the Demon From Hell Nuclear Reactor in Fukushima, Japan. That’s OK: a becqueral a day keeps the doctor away, but not the undertaker.
On paper, Japan has radiation exposure limits for food that are the same as the EU and stricter than the UN or the USA. Beginning on April 1, 2012, standards will become even stricter allowing for only 100 becquerals per kilogram (Bq/kg) in food. So those of us living in Japan will be pretty safe? Not so fast.
