Radioactive contamination is ruining Japanese export. More and more products are rejected by the world. However, it shows your government is still trying to save your life.
United States government rejected importing beef from Japan for radioactive contamination.
According to Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries, US has been stopping the import of beef for foot and mouth disease since 2 years ago.
Because foot and mouth disease case is not reported anymore, US was supposed to restart the import of Japanese beef as of 8/18/2012.
However, American government suddenly asked Japanese government for an explanation about the safety of beef on 8/15/2012. American government is concerned about radioactive contamination of beef. They postponed to restart import until they confirm the safety of Japanese beef.

Tap water is the most essential element of our daily life. You need it for cooking, shower, and drinking. You need it even when you make your baby food.
However, in 26% of all the prefectures in Japan, they detected cesium from tap water.
According to Monitoring information of environmental radioactivity level of Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology, [Link] they measured cesium 134/137 from tap water of 12 prefectures. They conducted measurement in 46 prefectures. (Only Miyagi applies different lowest detectable amount, which can’t be compare.)
The measurement was from April to June, 2012.
The prefectures are
- Iwate
- Yamagata
- Fukushima
- Ibaraki
- Tochigi
- Gunma
- Saitama
- Chiba
- Tokyo
- Kanagawa
- Niigata
- Nagano
The highest reading was 0.0112 Bq/Kg (Cs-134/137) in Ibaraki. It was higher than Fukushima for some reason. It was 0.0049 Bq/Kg in Tokyo.Full report is below.

Western Japan is no longer the last hope of Japan.TBS reported Minamiosumi in Kagoshima is to be chosen for the final disposal site by the government.
It’s to keep the contaminated soil from Fukushima.Kagoshima is in south Kyushu. Minamiosumi is about 1,500 km from Fukushima plant. The population is 9,000, depending on fishery and agriculture.
Decontamination in Fukushima produces tones of contaminated soil. It’s to be moved to temporary disposal site. 2 or 3 years later, it will be moved to interim disposal site. The contaminated soil will be moved to the final disposal site within 30 years.Town mayor of Futaba machi, Fukushima is requesting the government to take the contaminated soil to out of Fukushima.Managers of Ministry of environment states, they are talking with Minamiosumi unofficially.
