Tokyo, high radioactivity - Greenpeace warnsTOKYO –
Greenpeace states that local authorities have reported that during an inspection levels were measured radioactivity of 3.35 microsievert per hour down a residential street in the district of Setagaya and 5.82 microsievert time in a children’s park in Funabashi, Chiba Prefecture. These new tests show that the dispersion of radioactive material leaked from the plant in Fukushima is wider and more serious than previously thought – says Salvatore Barbera, head of Greenpeace’s nuclear campaign of Italy – the fact that local authorities are trying to decontaminate the area using hydrants high pressure, the more scattering the radioactive material instead of removing it, is a sign that they have not received the necessary support from central government and that are operating without following the normal guidelinesin case of nuclear contamination. “
Greenpeace adds to believe "absurd" the intention of the Prime Minister Noda to restart nuclear reactor before it finishes the investigation on the causes and consequences of the three core meltdown seven months ago in the middle of Fukushima.But according to the Japanese government, high levels of radioactivity recorded in Tokyo can not be correlated with the ‘Fukushima accident. According to the Minister of Science, the radiation was caused by the material stored in the basement of an apartment. The residents, the minister added, were informed that there is no threat to their health."
