Radiation Levels in Fukushima City

Greenpeace calls on Japan’s new Prime Minister to delay the September 1st opening of schools in Fukushima City until effective radioactive decontamination is carried out, after a Greenpeace radiation monitoring team found dose rates exceeding international safety standards.
Greenpeace has been monitoring radioactive contamination of food, sea life and the environment in the region surrounding the crisis-stricken Fukushima Daiichi nuclear plant since March, and has continually called for a "protective status" for the area. This would include comprehensive, wide-ranging screening and decontamination measures and for vulnerable groups, such as pregnant women and children still living in highly contaminated areas outside the mandatory 30km exclusion zone such as Fukushima City, to be relocated.
