Today's Fukushima Commentary...
Japan needs to stop wasting money on radiation fears
It
seems Tokyo is content to continue throwing away big bucks in the
desire to soothe the radiation fears of a numerically-significant
minority in the population. Tokyo is decontaminating homes as far away
as 200 kilometers from F. Daiichi that have detectible Cesium levels.
Deconning most of these 103,000 homes will make them no safer than
without the expensive cleansing. Tokyo should shift the funding from
this politically-expedient boondoggle, and put it where it is really needed – the reconstruction of the Tohoku communities forever lost to the 3/11/11 tsunami.

Japan’s Greenpeace and Press call science a government “ploy” (Feb. 19)
Japanese researcher Kazuo Sakai said,
“Since the accident in Fukushima, no health effects from radiation have been
observed." But Greenpeace calls this a government ploy and says Japan
should carry out frequent health checks all over Japan "even if there is
no comparative epidemological data" to support it. The Japanese
constitution says the public has a right the right to live in peace, free from
fear. Greenpeace’s fear-mongering is a moral crime against the people of Japan.
