Since the Japanese meltdown in March, I was wondering how bad things really are. Obviously the government there and politics got in the way of actual results. The only trustworthy source of information I can see is through the Greenpeace website. My guesses were true enough - don't eat any fish for ages until this is sorted out. They have posted tests on marine life and it would be safe to admit, that they are not safe for human consumption anymore. This was no surprise. It would be good to find an overall picture of the extent of the situation. My guess is that America surely got a huge amount of the toxic vapour blown over there with the gulf stream. There was also reports of companies cashing in on iodine sales, but frankly, i'd play safe and take it. The official facts and figures are all a mishmash just now, but nothing a well made documentary wouldn't put straight. Of course the damadge is horrendous, not only for Japan, but every other country that imports/exports materials these days, which is pretty much everywhere now. There are stacks of fake information floating around the internet and the information on greenpeace is pretty localised, but you can check it here:- http://www.greenpeace.org/international/en/campaigns/nuclear/safety/accidents/Fukushima-nuclear-disaster/Radiation-field-team/#data

I noticed a well written blog about this subject, with a better update at:-
