Japan will more than triple the number of regions it checks for airborne radiation as more contaminated “hot spots” are discovered far from Tokyo Electric Power Co.’s crippled Fukushima nuclear power station.

The government said it will increase radiation monitoring by helicopter to 22 prefectures from the six closest to the plant, which began spewing radiation after an earthquake and tsunami struck the station in March. The plan comes after radioactive waste more than double the regulatory limit was found 200 kilometers (125 miles) from the plant this week.

Authorities have refused to give a cumulative figure for radiation released from the Fukushima Dai-ichi nuclear plant after estimating in June that fallout in the six days following the quake was equal to 15 percent of total radiation released in the Chernobyl nuclear disaster in 1986. The authorities have been too slow to widen airborne radiation testing, said Tetsuo Ito, the head of Kinki University’s Atomic Energy Research Institute in Osaka.

“The government should have expanded the monitoring area by helicopters much earlier to ease concerns among the public,” Ito said in a telephone interview yesterday.

  1. waiting for the old line..
    but, we didnt want anypne to panic..
    so allowing them to come to harm, is the preferred option.
    I really am amazed that initiative can be bred out of people so fast.
    not just there, but worldwide.
    wait to be told to move? Grab the bags, go visit distant family,friends, sheesh..
    waiting to be rescued- someone going to tell the folks that the hero on the white charger IS a fairy tale/..help yourself . dont rely on govt.

  2. It almost seems governments world wide are under the same directive to lie to their people and actively assist in their murder. This isn’t just random stupidity. This is an evil agenda.
