"I feel that the checks are done seriously," by Olivier At first I panicked as much. It did not used to think that poisoned just by breathing, or three drops of water dripping in your neck of the coat. Then we made it. And then I feel that the checks are done seriously. That would mark too bad if an oversight was obvious later discovered.
And we can trust the Japanese to do something seriously, they do not do things lightly. "I still drink tap water", by Julian Regarding the presence of radioactive iodine in tap water: the rates were raised in Tokyo, Wednesday, March 23, of 210 becquerels per liter. The rate limit set by the Japanese government is 300 Bq / l for an adult.
What one fails to mention is that the limit set by the International Atomic Energy Agency is 3000 becquerels per liter. Yes, 3000! (500 Bq / l for Euratom). Japanese standards are far more stringent than international standards. It would be interesting to survey in some French regions, there might be some surprises.
So I continue to drink tap water to cook pasta and rice without using bottled water to take showers and even the supreme audacity in light of the mucous membrane sensitivity to radiation, to use " washlet "[Japanese toilet]. As for the contaminated food (spinach, milk, etc.. Some northern regions), it is possible and even easy to verify their origin, always written on the packaging.
Ultimately, my only health measure against radioactivity in Tokyo is to choose my sources, compare them and not to panic. This is mental hygiene. In case of aggravation, I will follow the recommendations of the Japanese government and various freelance sites I visit. I want to clarify, not to be accused of bias ideological, that I am anti-nuclear, and more.
"In normal times, water is undrinkable in Tokyo!" By Yann The first step that I made last Saturday was to stop reading the European press because there are headlines that are staggering given without no benchmark. A week ago, the media announced a warning to all the radioactivity with a peak of 25% above normal.
It turned out that the famous peak was equivalent to eat 8 bananas and has a much lower radio doctor. Italian experts have been testing the air in Tokyo, and found that the air of Rome has a higher content of radioactivity. On tap water, anyway, in normal times, water in Tokyo is undrinkable, even for tea.
"Everything is normal in Tokyo," by Diego in Tokyo, apart from the electricity savings and the large decrease of foreigners in the city, everything is normal. People go out without any particular protection, will work normally and the restaurants and bars are filled. There is currently no risk of contamination in Tokyo.
The rate of radiation in the air is very low (at the peak, it amounted in terms of radiation has a flight to Tokyo-Paris every 10 days). Contaminated food were withdrawn from the market and as a precaution we drink bottled water (although water contamination is harmless to adults). The problems are in the north-east, not Tokyo.
Spinach Fukushima, by Christian We ended up trusting the authorities who publish the daily readings of radioactivity by the prefecture. Although the situation at the site of Fukushima is always critical, data to date show that the level of radioactivity in the air in Tokyo is safe for health.
So I go out without special protection, including in the rain without an umbrella or raincoat. As for food, we have learned through the media the list of contaminated products. Today I bought some broccoli and milk. I do not know their provenance, but I trust the authorities or dealer who normally block the contaminated products from around the plant.
I assume that what is on display is healthy. Same in restaurants. To replace the tap water, we fill up bottles of mineral water. For any special cons for brushing teeth or taking a shower. There is a certain psychosis, but the key word is confidence. The facts seem to support the call for calm Prime Minister Naoto Kan.
Finally, this crisis is similar to other past health crises (avian, swine, rice tinted). The authorities are now honed to exercise and play more and more transparency. And we are also influenced by attitude. Hoping as many Japanese believe that the worst is behind us.
