This New York Times article by Hiroko Tabuchi describes the anguish of the parents of Fukushima City, whose children are going to contaminated schools. As I have said before, it is hard to see a happy ending to this story. The best protection from radiation is shielding and distance. I would never let my children be exposed to these radiation levels, said an advisor to Prime Minister Kan. I agree. This is not a healthy environment for children. Delays in moving them will only add to the uncertainty and suffering. Someone needs to speak out and let people know this is not a situation that can be normalized. There is risk that will not go away for some time.
This graph or radiation readings at Unit #1 has been coming to us from various sources attributed to information from Tepco. There is a question as to whether the sensors are malfunctioning. If correct, these levels are extremely high and a reason for great concern to those working in this area.
