Radiation readings kept secret, as Japan encourages Fukushima evacuees to return
J-GOV WITHHOLDS RADIATION READINGS FROM 3 FUKUSHIMA SITES
Fukushima Update MARCH 28, 2014 via Mainichi.jp / March 25, 2014 /A Cabinet Office team has delayed the release of radiation measurements from three Fukushima Prefecture municipalities, and plans to release them later with lower, recalculated results, the Mainichi learned on March 24.
The three municipalities are currently covered by evacuation orders imposed after the March 2011 Fukushima No. 1 nuclear plant meltdowns — evacuation orders the government plans to lift in the near future. According to one source, the original measurements were higher than expected, prompting the Cabinet Office team — set up to support victims of the nuclear disaster — to hold the results back over worries they would discourage residents from returning.
The Mainichi has acquired documents drawn up in November last year detailing the radiation measurements and intended for release. The documents, however, were never made public. According to this and other sources, the measurements were taken in September last year in the city of Tamura’s Miyakoji district, the village of Kawauchi and the village of Iitate by the Japan Atomic Energy Agency (JAEA) and the National Institute of Radiological Sciences (NIRS), using new dosimeters………http://fukushimaupdate.com/j-gov-withholds-radiation-readings-from-3-fukushima-sites/
