Yomiuri: ‘Relatively’ High External Radiation Exposure For Children, Pregnant Women In Koriyama City, Fukushima

Yomiuri: “Relatively” High External Radiation Exposure for Children, Pregnant Women in Koriyama City, Fukushima (EX-SKF, Jan. 6, 2012):

For the month of November 2011, one pre-schooler in Koriyama City in the high-radiation “Nakadori” region in Fukushima Prefecture was found with 0.66 millisievert of external radiation exposure. The maximum number for the pregnant women was 0.36 millisievert.

On an annualized basis, 7.92 millisieverts from external radiation alone for the particular child, and 4.32 millisieverts for the pregnant woman. The average for the children was 0.11 millisievert, which would be 1.32 millisievert in one year. The average for the pregnant women was 0.10 millisievert, which would be 1.20 millisievert in one year.

Just a friendly reminder: Before the Fukushima I Nuke Plant accident, the natural “external” radiation exposure average in Japan was 0.59 millisievert per year.

Another reminder: Koriyama City started fitting the children and pregnant women with glass badges starting November 2011. There is no way of knowing what the radiation exposure may have been in the earlier months.

Yomiuri Shinbun (1/6/2012):

???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????

Koriyama City in Fukushima Prefecture announced the result of cumulative radiation exposure in the month of November 2011 for the pre-school children and pregnant women in the city. One child was found with 0.66 millisievert of radiation exposure, which would be 7.92 millisieverts for the annual cumulative exposure, a relatively high figure.

Donation Via German Red Cross Used To Build Library, Nursery School For Evacuees In RADIOACTIVE Koriyama City In Fukushima

Donation via German Red Cross Used to Build Library, Nursery School for Evacuees in Koriyama City in Fukushima (EX-SKF, Jan. 7, 2012):

I’m not really sure that’s how German people who donated to the German Red Cross for the disaster relief for the March 11 earthquake/tsunami wanted the money to be spent.

The library and the nursery school are for people evacuated from Kawauchi-mura in a planned evacuation zone to Koriyama City. Koriyama City is in high-radiation “nakadori” (middle third) of Fukushima Prefecture, where pre-schoolers were found with 0.11 millisievert external radiation in one month in November 2011, with the maximum 0.66 millisievert. Certainly not a place where any nursery school should be.

But the donation from Germany was used to build a facility to keep the villagers from Kawauchi-mura in Koriyama City together.

From Kyodo News (1/6/2012):

?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????

A facility with the library room and the nursery school opened on January 6 in the temporary housing in Koriyama City in Fukushima Prefecture where the residents from Kawauchi-mura lives after having evacuated from their home after the nuclear accident. The facility was built with the money of about 40 million yen (about 408,000 euro, US$520,000) donated via the German Red Cross.

Radiation In Japan: It’s All How You Define Radiation, And Koriyama Defines it ‘Out’

#Radiation in Japan: It’s All How You Define Radiation, and Koriyama Defines it “Out” (EX-SKF, Jan. 4, 2012):

It is just a matter of how you define the problem, and Koriyama City in Fukushima Prefecture, in the high-radiation “Nakadori” region, has decided to “define out” the problem by drawing the radiation contour map of the city with a new set of color schemes so that people will feel “safe and secure” looking at such “low” radiation levels.

After all, the nuclear accident is “over”, remember?

The map used to have 1.49 microsievert/hour as maximum, in red color. Now, in the new version of the map that accompanies the Koriyama City’s official decon plan, 45 microsieverts/hour is the maximum in red color. 1.5 microsievert/hour area is now in a calming, safe-looking extremely light blue.

Would the residents of Koriyama fall for this trick? Probably yes.

The map from the “Koriyama City Renewal Decontamination Plan version 1” issued in December 2011 (page 5):

And here’s the map in August, showing maximum 1.49 microsievert/hour area in red:

CRIMINALS: Koriyama City in Fukushima To Feed 2011 Rice To School Kids

Whereas the Japanese government must consider radioactive Tokyo to be a little unsafe.


Koriyama City in Fukushima to Feed School Kids with Local Rice Harvested This Year (EX-SKF, Nov. 4, 2011):

Did anyone say in the comment section that it was a duty of adults to protect children? I guess not in Koriyama City, which is located in high-radiation “Nakadori” (middle third) of Fukushima Prefecture and where 500,000 becquerels/kg of radioactive cesium was found in the rice hay.

The city will start using this year’s rice harvested in the city in the school lunches, starting next Tuesday. Since the new rice harvested in Fukushima is all cleared for shipping as the sampling test has proven it is “safe”, it is just a matter of time till it’s fed to the most vulnerable and without voice – children. Just as the Fukushima government, headed by THAT governor, has been pushing ever since declaring “safety” on October 12.

Fukushima Chuo TV news (11/4/2011) via Nippon TV:

????????????????????????????????????????????????????????

Koriyama City has decided to use the new rice harvested in the city for school lunches starting next week. Today, the city explained the radiation detection system to the parents.

??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????

Koriyama City will require JA Koriyama, who will ship the rice, to conduct voluntary testing of radioactive materials, and will start using the city’s newly harvested rice in school lunches starting Tuesday November 8.
