New reports have found multiple (15) Japanese residents living OUTSIDE the exclusion zone (40km from the Daiichi plant) have had urine samples measuring 3 millisieverts/hr, confirming internal radiation.
Yet this "won't be a problem if they don't eat vegetables or other products that are contaminated" according to an official.
Yep, as long as the Japanese population never eat again (or breathe?) they will be A-OK.
From the Japan Times:
More than 3 millisieverts of radiation has been measured in the urine of 15 Fukushima residents of the village of Iitate and the town of Kawamata, confirming internal radiation exposure, it was learned Sunday.
Both are about 30 to 40 km from the Fukushima No. 1 power plant, which has been releasing radioactive material into the environment since the week of March 11, when the quake and tsunami caused core meltdowns.
"This won't be a problem if they don't eat vegetables or other products that are contaminated," said Nanao Kamada, professor emeritus of radiation biology at Hiroshima University.Click here for more from the Japan Times:
