220 Bq/Kg of cesium was measured from Shiitake mushroom cultivated indoor on 5/14/2012.
It was produced in Sammu city Chiba.

In Chiba, Shiitake mushroom cultivated outdoor is banned to sell in 8 cities of Chiba, but this is the first time for them to measure cesium more than the safety limit of 100Bq/kg from Shiitake mushroom cultivated indoor.

Chiba prefecture assumes it is from the contaminated bed log purchased from outside of the prefecture.

Mr. Oyama, Minamisoma city councilor measured 10,000,000 Bq/Kg of cesium from soil in Kodakaku Minamisoma city Fukushima.

Detailed locations or ratio of cesium134/137 are not announced yet.

He warns power tiller of farmers blows up the dust and causes serious internal exposure by breathing.

Comparing this result to the black substance found in Tokyo, and the mandatory evacuation limit of Belarus in this way,

this area in Minamisoma is 220 times more contaminated than Belarus, and 42 times more contaminated than Tokyo.

Mr. Oyama estimates black substance will be mass generated to absorb radionuclide in the rainy season. After the season, it will fly spore.

Thank you for your support as always.

The headline of yesterday..240,000 Bq/Kg at 5km from Imperial Palace

was so shocking to me. It’s hard to describe the feeling to see your home country collapsed.

I always thought Tokyo citizens must evacuate soon as possible, but now I even think it’s too late to evacuate.

It’s not atmospheric dose. It’s Bq/m2.

The black substance looks black because it’s gathered but you can not see each particle when it’s blown up.

then you breathe, take into your eyes, ears, nose and everywhere, even if you wear a mask.

It is a tragedy while you take so much care about 3 Bq/kg in food, you are stepping on 240,000Bq/kg of the dust from hell.

The reason why I mentioned Imperial Palace is not because I’m a nationalist. It’s because it’s in the center of Tokyo.

Actually, Japan has lost its capital city.

However, that was very predictable.

Black substance was found in Minamisoma in February. and similar stuff was found in Ibaraki, Chiba, Saitama.

and after the rain, it was observed the black substance mass generated in Minamisoma.

It was only the matter of time for Tokyo to be covered with the black powder.

I wish I could have warned it more, and sooner.

PS, If you don’t know what the black substance is, you can search into the blog with the key word, “black substance”.

500,000Bq/kg of cesium was measured on the roof of Yamagata university, announced in Yamagata prefectural disaster committee on 5/30/2011.

It was the dust accumulated around the drain on the roof of the university building.

Yamagata prefecture is on the west coast of Japan, thought to be relatively less contaminated than east coast.(100km away from Fukushima plants)

Though it was measured one year ago, evacuation order has not been given out.

As a reference though this is not natural soil, comparing it with the contamination level in Belarus in the same way as this,

it’s 10 times higher than the mandatory evacuation limit.

Last year, 4/12/2011, 2.2E+8 Bq/m3 of Iodine 131 was measured from the water of SFP4 to suggest the spent fuel had recriticality after 311.

Cesium 134/137 were also measured, but Tepco states it’s about 1/100 of the amount in reactor1~3, they are likely to be blown from them.

However, Tepco did not show the comparison of the amount of Iodine 131 measured in SFP4 and reactor1~3.

1774 Bq/Kg of cesium was measured from tea leaves by a citizen’s radiation measurement organization in Hachioji.

The brand name is Sayama cha,  produced in west Saitama and west Tama area of Tokyo.

Cesium 134 : 764Bq/kg

Cesium 137 : 1010Bq/kg

Total : 1774 Bq/kg

Dr. Miura, the director of Iwase general hospital conducted health checkup for people in temporary dwellings in Sukagawa city Fukushima. The result showed 6 in 10 children under 12 years old have diabetes.

Dr. Miura states this is abnormal situation, but is guessing it’s because of the lack of exercise or stress.

Strontium90 (half life time 28.79 y) has beta decay to become yttrium90 (half life time 64 h).
Strontium90 and yttrium90 come to have radiative equilibrium within a month and strontium90 : yttrium90 becomes 3900 : 1 stably.
Yttrium90 is stocked in pancreas to cause pancreatic cancer or diabetes.

Dr. Miura is concerned about the mental problem of children in Fukushima, but the hospital is recruiting doctors and medical staff. The slogan is “To let citizens live longest in Japan.”

福島県須賀川市の公立岩瀬病院の三浦院長が行った健康診断によると、須賀川市内の仮設住宅に住む小学生以下の子ども十人のうち六人が糖尿病になっていることが分かりました。三浦院長は異常事態、とコメントするものの、運動不足やストレスが原因と推測しています。

ストロンチウム90は半減期64時間のイットリウム90にベータ崩壊します。純粋なストロンチウム90は徐々にイットリウム90の比率を増やし、およそ一ヶ月で放射平衡になります。その結果、ストロンチウム90とイットリウム90は3900:1を定常的に保ちます。　このイットリウム90はすい臓に蓄積し、すい臓がんや糖尿病を引き起こすことが分かっています。

三浦院長はまた、子供たちの精神状態を心配していますが、公立岩瀬病院はスタッフ不足から医師、薬剤師などの職員を募集しています。また、日本で一番長寿のまちをつくるというスローガンを掲げています。

Radiation measurement of black substance in Hitachi city Ibaraki, where is about 100km from Fukushima. It’s on the school road, park, street, everywhere.

This person had beta ray burns to measure the black substance.
