Current Radiation Levels in Shinjuku, Tokyo and Tsukuba (75 km. north of Tokyo)

Click here for a comparison of current radiation levels and pre-quake levels in Shinjuku, see here for water

Next, updated daily and hourly from the Advanced Industrial Science and Technology Unit in Tsukuba (Tsukuba is between Tokyo and the accident site at Fukushima. It is about 75 kilometers north of Tokyo, and 150 kilometers south of Fukushima). Is an updated hourly summary of radiation measured in microSv/hour.  You can view the daily and hourly radiation level updates herehttp://www.aist.go.jp/taisaku/ja/measurement/index.html

Here is an chart from the National Institute of Advanced Industrial Science and Technology's National Metrology Institute of Japan webpage. It shows what typical radiation levels (measured in microSv) are in our daily lives: 






At the bottom left, you see the mark of 190. That's the amount of radiation you get on a one-way flight from Tokyo to New York. Above that, you see the number 2400. That is the amount of radiation that a person gets annually from nature. At the top left is the number 10000. That is annual radiation amount a person who lives in Karapari City in Brazil gets. At the top right, you see 6900, that's the amount of radiation you get from a CT scan. Bottom right? That's 50, the amount a person receives from one X-ray. 

As you can see, there is absolutely no radiation risk in Tsukuba and Tsukuba is much closer to the accident site than is Tokyo. One gets a much bigger dose of radiation flying from Narita to New York. In fact, at 0.05 microSv per hour, you would have to be standing outside in the elements everyday for nearly 40 days straight to equal the amount of radiation you'd receive on just that single one-way flight from Tokyo to New York.

Radiation Levels at Tsukuba, 75 km. North of Tokyo, Much Lower - Dropping to Pre-Quake Levels

Is he strong? Listen Bud, he's got radioactive blood
So far, through the entire crisis at the nuclear power plant in Fukushima, radiation levels in Tokyo have not come close to dangerous levels to human health. They would have had to increase more than a thousand-fold to have done so so far. Once again, the radiation levels at Tsukuba dropped yesterday. The levels are well within range of pre-quake levels.

This chart is updated daily and hourly from the Advanced Industrial Science and Technology Unit in Tsukuba (Tsukuba is between Tokyo and the accident site at Fukushima. It is about 75 kilometers north of Tokyo, and 150 kilometers south of Fukushima). It is an updated hourly summary of radiation measured in microSv/hour. These levels taken on Friday, March 18, 2011 are 1/2 of the levels they were on Wednesday, March 16. You can see that the levels were between 0.02 and 0.05 microSv per hour.

Okay. 0.02 and 0.05 microSv per hour. But what does that mean? Here is an chart from the National Institute of Advanced Industrial Science and Technology's National Metrology Institute of Japan webpage. It shows what typical radiation levels (measured in microSv) are in our daily lives:

One gets a much bigger dose of radiation flying from Narita to New York. In fact, at 0.05 microSv per hour, you would have to be standing outside in the elements everyday for nearly 158 days straight to equal the amount of radiation you'd receive on just that single one-way flight from Tokyo to New York.

Radiation Levels at Tsukuba, 75 km. North of Tokyo, Lower Than Yesterday

As of today, Thursday, March 17, 2011 at 9:50 am: .10 microSv/hour.


See chart measuring current levels here: http://www.aist.go.jp/taisaku/ja/measurement/index.html


I've searched everywhere on the Japanese media and can find has no information about a fire at reactor #4 or the water draining out of the reactor cores like is being reported in the western media...Zip, nada, none. Where does the western press get these reports? This sounds like hysterical BS.
