“Sr-90 and Cs-137 from my sister’s breast milk, hospital says we worry too much”
A teenage women in the temporary housing of Fukushima said, “Sr-90 and Cs-137 were detected from the breast milk of my sister. They call us fearmonger, even hospital tells us we worry too much. We shouldn’t have trusted the government and media to say “It’s all safe”after 311.”

Radioactive Japan: “Eat and Support” Fukushima Rice, Without Knowing and Without Choice
From rice to be grown and harvested in 2013, the national government is buying up 250,000 tonnes for the government’s rice reserve; of that, 40,000 tonnes, or 16%, may come from Fukushima Prefecture. The Fukushima prefectural government is encouraging farmers to participate in the government bidding if they fear “baseless rumors” driving down the price for their rice in the open market.
Once it is purchased by the national government, Fukushima rice becomes just “rice”.
The reserve rice will be released to the market a few years later as the need arises (shortage of rice, request from food companies) and as part of the regular inventory control. The consumers won’t be able to tell it is rice from Fukushima, or the products (rice crackers, miso, shochu, etc.) is made with rice from Fukushima.
This year, farmers in some of the areas that weren’t planted because of the nuclear accident (i.e. former evacuation zones) are happily growing rice with full intention of selling to consumers as long as it is judged “safe” (i.e. testing below the national government’s safety standard of 100 Bq/kg of radioactive cesium).

19,000 Bq/Kg from the drain of balcony in Setagaya Tokyo, May 2013
On 6/6/2013, Fukushima Diary reported “18,756 Bq/kg of Cs-134/137 measured from the mud in street gutter in Setagaya Tokyo [URL]”
From the detailed report of CRMS (Citizen’s Radioactivity Measuring Station), it was not a street gutter, but the drain of a balcony.
It was a second floor veranda of a private house in Setagaya Tokyo. There is no roof over it.
The area had not been throughly cleaned since 311. The sample was 1cm ~ 2cm of the upper layer of the mud.
The radiation level was 0.089 μSv/h at 1m from the floor, but it was 0.332 μSv/h at 1cm from the mud.
It has been over 2 years since 311. Radioactive material is still accumulated even in Tokyo.
