The glittering spots in the photos are caused by fine particles of radioactive substances such as cesium that cling to objects and emit radiation. When film is placed on the objects, the parts that come into contact with the radiation are gradually exposed, causing the spots. Although radiation is something we cannot see, has no sound, or smell, or taste and cannot be perceived by our senses, this process makes it visible.
It has been three years since the Fukushima nuclear power plant accident, and some people are acting as if everything is back to normal. But the threat of radiation has caused serious injury to the hearts and bodies of many people. Radiation – it cannot be seen, has no smell, or taste, or sound, is not painful or uncomfortable, and cannot be perceived by our senses. I have been trying to find a way to make radiation visible so that the images will remain etched in their memories. My first attempts were made with the help of Toshi Mori, a professor emeritus in the Tokyo University Faculty of Agriculture, using IC plates. Since then, I have been making these photos using a method of exposing film (TRY-X), or autoradiography.
These images solemnly tell us the story of the radioactive contamination of Japan. They force us to recognize that the menace of radiation does not fade, but lasts for long periods of time. The images are of objects and plants collected in the evacuation zone in Fukushima Prefecture. The radiation from the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant accident robbed many people of their home towns. Will they ever be able to live in those places again? In Spring and Ashura, the poet Kenji Miyazawa wrote his thoughts of the future, saying “Perhaps two thousand years from now….” I hope these images will provide a hint for how to live in the present and how to create the future.
The contaminated soil is from decontamination. Cesium density is supposed to be 5,000 ~ 8,000 Bq/Kg to be recycled. It will be reused for road and coastal levee all around Japan.
The government of Japan decontaminated the ground and spreads it to the entire country.
The ministry is planned to make an official announcement soon.
This March, MOE was stating they would reduce the radiation level with the technology that they didn’t have yet.
It is not clear if they developed the technology already.
I Cherish her FOREVER;;; As on March 12 2011 i screamed don’t believe them this is multiple meltdowns that will kill the PACIFIC OCEAN;;; and give millions and billions cancer Leukemia 7 MThs later I got AML os de-novo Leukemia a death sentence, give 2 MThs to live, I went in to an acute bone marrow transplant center on 3 elevens 11/11/11 , I went form the bone marrow transplant center to the Sea back and forth for nearly 5 years now,,,
WALKING documenting the death of the MIGHTY blue lade the Pacific ocean,, I have now walked the entire California coast line, from Mexico TO ABOVE San Francisco;;;; just HER SHE and I we had one last encounter one last interlude love affair SHE and I ;;;; the GREATEST EVENT IN HUMAN HISTORY the KILLING OF the SEA by the APTHY the malice the creeps CALLED HUMANITY;;; not me FOR NOW I AM THE SEA,,, I am she she is me for ALL TIME AND ETERNITY;;; kevin d. blanch June 27 2016 P.S. I LOVE YOU

NHK, Jun 21, 2016: TEPCO admits meltdown cover-up — The president of Tokyo Electric Power Company has admitted the company concealed the reactor meltdowns at its Fukushima Daiichi nuclear plant… TEPCO President Naomi Hirose said at a news conference on Tuesday that the company’s concealment of the meltdowns at the order of its then-president is a grave issue. AP, Jun 21, 2016: The utility that ran the Fukushima nuclear plant acknowledged Tuesday its delayed disclosure of the meltdowns at three reactors was tantamount to a cover-up and apologized… “I would say it was a cover-up,” Hirose told a news conference. “It’s extremely regrettable.”… TEPCO has been accused of a series of cover-ups in the disaster…

Asahi Shimbun, Jun 18, 2016: A panel investigating Tokyo Electric Power Co.’s response to the triple meltdown during the 2011 Fukushima nuclear disaster revealed an unpardonable breach of trust by the operator of the stricken Fukushima No. 1 nuclear power plant.
But there is still a lot more work to be done by the panel to uncover the full scope of the utility’s apparent meltdown cover-up. Immediately after the catastrophic accident at the Fukushima nuclear plant, then TEPCO President Masataka Shimizu instructed employees not to use the term “meltdown,” leading to a delay in the official announcement, according to a report compiled by the investigation panel commissioned by the company.
A reactor meltdown, or the melting of nuclear fuel in the core of a reactor, is about as bad as it gets. The panel’s report suggests that in the middle of this unprecedented nuclear disaster the top official of the plant operator was trying to conceal the severity of what was unfolding from the public…enenews.com...…
