21.4 microsieverts per hour? I'd check the powder! At that rate they'd have died of OLD AGE first!

I say booby trap the whole compound, evacuate, let the protestors (government sponsored thugs) occupy the place - and then blow the whole lot to a million pieces!

It's good to see the inept taking up such simple issues! It would be terrible is J-politicians actually taxed their brain cells on something more complicated.

Another great example of a complete idiot making it to a high level position in the Japanese government! You have to be an utter moron to go out and get drunk with a bunch of reporters and expect them to keep your slobbering drunk vowel movements "off the record". This fool deserves to be kicked into the unemployment line!

Japanese science hard at work! Take high pressure water and blow the bark off the trees.
Now the radioactive particles are spread across the ground around the trees. They will be mixed with the soil. The tree roots will then absorb the radiation and then it's back to square one!
The "A" in JA does NOT stand for Agriculture!

Why are they even discussing this? The acceptagble level of Cesium in baby food should be ZERO! This is a ministry of idiots!

It is my humble opinion that those who criticize and condemn Mr Woodford approve of corruption and criminal management of Japanese corporations. If this is how Japanese wish to do business then it is their right. It is also the right of the rest of the world to delist corrupt businesses and ban them from doing business outside of Japan.

I'm sure the boat passed numerous Japanese safety inspections! Too bad an inspector most likely never set foot on the deck! My sympathies to the dead crew members.

The only way the child will be returned to the USA is if the mother is kept in jail until she is reunited with her father. I expect Japan will fight this and pull out the "foreign spouse abuse" card they keep playing. The victim in this is the child. If she has indeed been turned against her father it's going to be especially hard for her to adjust to a different life. She may also be accustomed to life in Japan and have friends that she doesn't want to leave. Its a touchy situation and the best interests of the child should be considered fairly by all parties.

And for all those Japanese who are afraid to jump in a mountain lake because the water is deeper than your bathtub I invite you to scuba dive Lake Towada with me ... in the summer when its dark and freezing at 100 feet! We've even dived from kayaks near where the lake drops to 300 meters (third deepest in Japan!) and the rush of knowing you're hanging over an abyss really gets the blood pumping! And of course we do it safely, I've been diving for over 30 years and teaching divers for 15. Get out and enjoy life!

In Aomori Prefecture there are hundreds of opportunities to get out cheap! Not only do I commute to work (40km a day round trip) on a touring bike when the weather is tolerable, but my summer vacation started in Hakodate and ended at Cape Soya, Hokkaido and didn't involve a drop of gasoline (biked it all the way!) Mountain huts in the Hakkoda mountain range are FREE and winter doesn't stop me, I just put on snowshoes and a little extra clothes. I am really amazed at the age and fitness level of those I meet in the "backcountry". I'm 50 and constantly motivated when guys in their 70's and even 80's pass me UPHILL on thier skis!

They should have gotten back on the plane, given north Korea the finger and cancelled the game. Why does anyone travel to this $hithole country in the first place? Kim Jong Il is the poster boy for birth control and doesn't deserve to have his mindless minions compete against real athletes!
