There may be some discrepancies, but I give them the benefit of the doubt.

Each and every individual will have to make that decision for themselves, but they have to at least realize that the Japanese government and Tepco have admitted lying. So there is a track record of lies. And they also need to realize that any contamination they receive will be eventually brought back to their home countries.

And there is also a history of problems with communications within Tepco and Japan. Just recently the government run inquiry into the Fukushima crisis determined that Tepco did not ask to abandon Plant #1 and eventually possibly Plant #2.

Apparently the Japanese words and phrase used can be perceived as either:

- temporarily partially abandoning Fukushima #1 due to high radiaition levels and then returning later.

- possibly meaning abandon Fukushima #1 and possibly #2 permanently but in a slow staged process.

That is what you have to deal with over there.

Um, no. NO contamination will leave the site. Workers, wearing anti-contamination clothing (anti-Cs as they are known) are 'frisked' with radiation detectors after they remove the anti-Cs, and BEFORE they leave the area...all radiation areas are controlled, and there is a control point watch that checks everyone in and out. Any contamination will be detected, and anyone 'contaminated' has to be decontaminated before they are allowed to leave.

It may be true that parts of the plant had to be evacuated when rad levels were at their highest, but no part of Fukushima will be abandoned without full containment and control of the plant. They are there for the long haul.
