Tokyo Slammed with Radiation

We noted in August that some parts of Tokyo have more radiation than existed in the Chernobyl Exclusion Zones. And see this and this.

There are indications that radiation levels are increasing in Tokyo. Washington’s Blog March 26, 2012: Nuclear engineer Arnie Gundersen took 5 random soil samples in Tokyo recently, and found that all 5 were so radioactive that they would be considered radioactive waste in the United States, which would have to be specially disposed of at a facility in Texas:

Indeed, shortly after the earthquake, U.S. government officials noted widespread contamination throughout northern Japan, including Tokyo, and said:

No wonder the potential evacuation of Tokyo has been quietly discussed by Japanese officials ever since the earthquake hit.  http://www.washingtonsblog.com/2012/03/tokyo-soil-hit-with-fukushim...
