東京都豊島区は２３日、区立公園「池袋本町電車の見える公園」で、１時間あたり最大４８０マイクロシーベルトの放射線量を測定した、と発表した。福島第一原発事故で、国が避難の目安とするのは年間２０ミリシーベルト。４０時間余り居続けると達する計算になる。
最大値が測定されたのは、二つの滑り台が組み合わさった遊具がある地表部分。ただ、そこから数メートル離れた滑り台の先端は０・０７マイクロシーベルトに下がるという。地中に何らかの発生源がある可能性が高く、同区は遊具周辺をフェンスで囲み、公園への立ち入りを当面禁止した。
同日の調査に立ち会った原子力規制庁は、「線量が高い範囲は狭く、長い時間立ち止まるような場所ではないため、普通に遊んでいる場合であれば人体に影響はない」としている。 |

There's "some kind" of underground source of radiation.

The extent of a high dose of radioactivity is slim. Because the location won't "stand still" for long, if people enjoy themselves as they normally do, it will have no effect on their bodies.
My translation may not be perfect, but I think it gets the main idea across. The source is still unknown, and there's no mention of Fukushima, so there's no need to panic. Radiation naturally occurs in the earth, and we're exposed to other sources of radiation on a daily basis. |

| Someone also just landed a drone with a small amount of radioactive material on the PM's roof. Seems that people want more information and proper disclosure from the government. |

Me too. However, this radiation seems to be from something that was buried by someone. Which makes me wonder how much of that there is around |

I remember they said they were going to burn several tons of radioactive debris in smelters around Japan to lessen the burden on the Fukushima area so it doesn't suffer fiscally. This is probably the end-result, just burying the stuff around towns, parks, mixing the ash into the concrete. I'm not worried, this type of stuff happens.
Does anyone know where I can get a geiger counter in the Tokyo-to area for cheap? I'd just like to have one for personal reasons. |

| I bought mine on the net in 2011. Maybe I got it from amazon, it was 10.000 yen. It is a russian made one, but I still like to keep it around in case fukushima decides to blow up again. |

Why thank you nice nice, I have been looking around for one, but they all seem to have been bought by private sellers, and succumbed to inflated prices.
I will try to get a Russian geiger counter, one for outside, and one to take around with me just in case another triple meltdown occurs.
I could probably ask one of my Russian acquaintances to get me a counter from her country when she goes back to visit, it would also cost me less, and come with the full features too, including emf.
I think we should slowly embrace burning trash as a mean to sustain our electricity reserves, with the occasional solar panel, and charcoal neatly placed around isolated areas. |
