Radiation Comparison

Those at or older than 65 account for 55.4% of all the casualties of the 3/11 Disaster of Japan.

The number of elder care facilities demolished by the earthquake and the tsunami is almost 100, or 3200 houses.

However, building of provisional housing is not smoothly and swiftly promoted partly because of a lack of suitable plots to be used for foundations.

Prime Minister Mr. Naoto Kan said today that all the 70,000 temporary homes now thought to be needed will be completed by the holiday season of the midsummer in August. PM Mr. Kan is not risking his life in recovery work though he pledged that he would do.


CHAPTER I: Radiation Amounts in Japanese Cities

In the map below, the area surrounded by a blue circle is under comparatively strong radiation. The red circled area indicating 200 kilo-meters (125 miles) from Fukushima Daiichi is a maximum range to be alerted for the worst case like the Chernobyl case.

It is true that Fukushima City and Koriyama City as well as Nakmie Town are under strong radiation in comparison with Tokyo, due to the Fukushima Diichi accidents.

But, Tokyo is not particularly under a strong radiation threat:

TOKYO...0.0706 micro-sieverts

New York...0.095 micro-sieverts

Hong Kong... 0.14 micro-sieverts


Air flight from Tokyo to New York receives 50 micro-sieverts of radiation:

Los Angeles - Tokyo...43.3 micro-sieverts

London - Los Angeles...61.6 micro-sieverts

Paris - Washington...41.0 micro-sieverts

London - New York...37.0 micro-sieverts

Lisbon - New York...29.0 micro-sieverts

London - Rome...12.3 micro-sieverts

London - Frankfurt...7.2 micro-sieverts

Moscow - Minsk...5.5 micro-sieverts

If you fly from London to New York, you are exposed to an amount of radiation which is equal to that you are exposed to when you live in Fukushima City (1.54 micro-SV) for 24 hours; in Tokyo for 22 days; in Hon Kong for 11 days; and in New York for 16 days.

Now 900 workers are tackling four reactor units in Fukushima Daiichi.

It is very strange that the Japanese Government would not send 9,000 workers, fire fighters, troops, engineers, scientists, medical staff and doctors, and officials to the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear plant to fix the problem as soon as possible.

They could also send 100 of robots into reactor buildings but they would not.

They just expect poorly-equipped and poorly fed and accommodated 900 workers to control the situation. They do not even pay handsomely to those courageous workers.

Something is absolutely wrong in their way of managing the Fukushima recovery work. The Kan Cabinet thinks it is an accident in peacetime, though it is actually a war on atomic energy.



(Once I was driving back home from Yokohama through the Third Keihin Road and Tokyo Express Ways. Every main road leading to the central part of Tokyo had its own characteristic. The Yokohama road to Tokyo was modern then and must be so still today. I did not feel any sense of scarcity there and then when I was driving back home from Yokohama through the Third Keihin Road and Tokyo Express Ways in early 1990's.)

Mar 4:25 For he that hath, to him shall be given: and he that hath not, from him shall be taken even that which he hath.

Mar 4:26 And he said, So is the kingdom of God, as if a man should cast seed into the ground;

Mar 4:27 And should sleep, and rise night and day, and the seed should spring and grow up, he knoweth not how.
