Yes, this has been announced in the local media: http://headlines.yahoo.co.jp/hl?a=20110323-00000556-san-soci We live just down the road from the water plant that is affected and there have been a number of helicopters buzzing around today. As I understand it, breastfeeding is ok, but using milk formula is not advised. My wife is understandably quite worried about this. The difference in radiation readings can be caused by location / height of the counters - the denphone counter is on the 4th floor, so has a lower reading than at ground level (where particles accumulate). On the street in Azabujuban we were seeing levels of just over 200 at the pavement level. Simon On 23 March 2011 16:27, Darren Cook <darren@example.com> wrote: >> should be even ng/kg.
