I was wondering if there are any current studies or something similar that shows the current extent of radiation from the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant disaster? |

Greenpeace has down some independent testing. Pop this link into Google translate as it is in Japanese:
http://www.greenpeace.org/japan/monitoring/
I'm not sure what motivated your question, but don't let it stop you from coming to Japan. Food safety is generally secure throughout the country. |

Thank you both. I'm not worried about food safety (I actually hadn't thought of it). I have just been looking at some English schools in Northern Japan and wanted to know what the current radiation levels are to know how close to the site I could be without worrying about radiation. So I guess that a better question would be what a safe distance is from the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant disaster site where one would not get more than than "safe" amount of radiation. |

That's pretty scary. Do you know if a lot of fish from there are shipped to the Osaka area?
I really like sushi and sashimi and I'm a bit worried. |

I'd be more concerned about mercury than I would be about radiation as far as seafood is concerned. |

In that case I'll stick with McDonald's. |

Looking at the radiation in seafood it is concerning. I don't know about these fish and their migration patterns, but they could hypothetically go from just off the coast of Fukushima to Osaka. |

I asked a lady at AEON about it. She said their fish comes from Kyushu. |

I just used Osaka because it was mentioned. Kyushu would also be possible. |

The vital part of your post there was "I don't know about fish and their migration patterns". Understanding and giving the appropriate weight to any comments follows on from there. |
