In the “7-Eleven” minimarkets in Japan, Fukushima rice is mixed with the other rices, to lower the contamination measuring and to facilitate its selling .

Minimarkets are open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.We do not know about the other minimarkets.

A 7kg sample was reduced to about 550g.

After this sample was crushed, we gave it to be measured with a germanium semiconductor detector at the University of Tokyo.

    • Not coal. The biggest factor will be energy conservation, – then solar, wind, wave, tidal hydropower – all the renewable technologies. Coal is now a s big a villain as nuclear – – the twin dangers of global warming and nuclear annihilation
