Refreshing to get some information reported as to what is going on in regards to the on going contamination. I am not in Japan and I find it very hard to get information as to the safety of my family over there. Does any one have any links to sources for more info?

and increase the safety standards at its own nuclear plants?

I haven't heard of a French problem in this area, other than the use of dubious subcontractors when constructing nuclear power plants. But unlike in Japan, operators and supervisors are not the same. The Japanese illusion of security was quite unique and ideological. Even Russians have learned. We'll see how the Japanese will fare, and how many will have to pay their tuition fee.

It was essential for Japan to maintain vigilant monitoring of fruit, milk, mushrooms, game and fish, Champion said.

Soo... the people with vacant expressions who put these in our children's plates humming mindlessly "it is tested, it is safe" should get our support?

Sure, ok. Here goes: "Gambare! Now go away and take that m!erde with you."
