– Japan Expands Rice Ban as Contamination Spreads (Bloomberg, Dec. 8, 2011):
Japan will extend a ban on rice shipments from a third city in Fukushima prefecture after local authorities found more tainted grain, deepening food-safety concerns nine months after a nuclear disaster.
The ban will likely cover the Shibukawa area of Nihonmatsu City, about 55 kilometers (34 miles) from the crippled Fukushima nuclear plant, as rice samples from the area contained 780 becquerels per kilogram of radioactive cesium, said Shinji Uchida at the grain division of the Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries. The maximum allowed by the government for human consumption is 500 becquerels.
The discovery came after authorities increased rice testing for cesium after tainted supplies were found in Fukushima City and Date City. Some of the contaminated grain was sold to local buyers after Fukushima Governor Yuhei Sato said in October that rice produced in the prefecture was safe to eat.
“We may find more contaminated rice in other areas,” Uchida said today by phone. “Because of the limited capacity for testing, local authorities were unable to check every bag of rice for contamination.”
The government allowed farmers in Fukushima prefecture to start shipping rice in October as test results had shown no samples that exceeded the official limit.
Fukushima CityThe first case of rice contamination was discovered in November when a farmer in Fukushima City voluntarily submitted his rice for testing at a local agricultural organization. The government conducted official testing on 3,217 rice samples from growers in 17 prefectures by Nov. 17.
Japan banned rice shipments for the first time last month, following the discovery of grain containing 630 becquerels per kilogram of cesium in the Ohnami area of Fukushima City.
The restriction will have little impact on rice supply in Japan as the ministry expects the grain stockpiled by producers and distributors will increase 4.4 percent to 1.89 million tons at the end of June 2012, the highest level in two years.
The harvest of food rice in Japan reached 8.13 million tons this year, overwhelming Japanese demand of 8.05 million tons expected for the year to June 30, 2012, the ministry said on Nov. 30. Good weather boosted grain production this year even after a record earthquake and tsunami in March destroyed some paddy fields in the nation’s northeast.
Fukushima prefecture was the fourth-largest rice producer in Japan last year, representing about 5 percent of the harvest. Japan exported 1,898 tons of rice in 2010, according to the agriculture ministry.
Products including spinach, mushrooms, milk and beef were contaminated with radiation as far as 360 kilometers from the atomic station destroyed by the disaster.

… these are not “dosimeters” but “glass badges” that passively collect radiation information. It won’t help these children or their parents to avoid high-radiation areas and spots, it won’t tell them how much radiation they will have been exposed unless they are sent in to a company to interpret the data.
This is outrageous and it is called mind-control:

– Are There Safe Levels of Radiation? How Much Radiation Is Safe? (Must-read!!!!!)
Radiation exposure is increased by a factor of a trillion. Inhaling even the tiniest particle, that’s the danger.
Yo: So making comparisons with X-rays and CT scans has no meaning. Because you can breathe in radioactive material.
Hirose: That’s right. When it enters your body, there’s no telling where it will go. The biggest danger is women, especially pregnant women, and little children. Now they’re talking about iodine and cesium, but that’s only part of it, they’re not using the proper detection instruments. What they call monitoring means only measuring the amount of radiation in the air. Their instruments don’t eat. What they measure has no connection with the amount of radioactive material.
Dr. Helen Caldicott (Co-founder of Physicians for Social Responsibility):
You’ve bought the propaganda from the nuclear industry. They say it’s low-level radiation. That’s absolute rubbish. If you inhale a millionth of a gram of plutonium, the surrounding cells receive a very, very high dose. Most die within that area, because it’s an alpha emitter. The cells on the periphery remain viable. They mutate, and the regulatory genes are damaged. Years later, that person develops cancer. Now, that’s true for radioactive iodine, that goes to the thyroid; cesium-137, that goes to the brain and muscles; strontium-90 goes to bone, causing bone cancer and leukemia. It’s imperative … that you understand internal emitters and radiation, and it’s not low level to the cells that are exposed. Radiobiology is imperative to understand these days.”
