Expert: Radioactive materials reached Kanto via 2 routes
October 24, 2011
Radioactive materials from the damaged Fukushima No. 1 nuclear plant reached the Kanto region mainly via two routes, but they largely skirted the heavily populated areas of Tokyo and Kanagawa Prefecture, an expert said.
Relatively high levels of radioactive cesium were detected in soil in northern Gunma and Tochigi prefectures and southern Ibaraki Prefecture after the Fukushima No. 1 nuclear power plant was damaged by the March 11 Great East Japan Earthquake and tsunami. But contamination was limited in Tokyo and Kanagawa Prefecture, where 22 million people live.
Hiromi Yamazawa, a professor of environmental radiology at Nagoya University, said the first radioactive plume moved through Ibaraki Prefecture and turned northward to Gunma Prefecture between late March 14 and the afternoon of March 15.
Large amounts of radioactive materials were released during that period partly because the core of the No. 2 reactor at the Fukushima No. 1 plant was exposed.

Yep, I believe the radioactivity missed the population, yep, I believe it, sure do believe it...
not in the water either, yep I believe that too, yep sure, and those tons of debris getting ready to hit Hawaii, isn’t radioactive, uh huh I believe it, yep sure do believe it...
While you’re in the mood to believe, wrap your mind around the reports of radiation in Washington State milk and other farm products that came out soon after the tsunami/meltdown and then, quite by MAGIC, disappeared. We’re all walking around glowing in the dark, but we don’t have a radiation problem here, nosiree.
How about “Radioactive Taiheiyokai (Pacific Ocean)”?
They could get Kiyoshi to sing it.
