The issue is that there is a chunk of land uninhabitable for at least 30 years if things work out.If they don’t give it 50 years to a century for there to be people living there again.

Yea, and that chunk of land around Hiroshima and Nagasaki has been uninhabited since we dropped bombs on them, right?

What’s that? Oh, I’m not going to get some future real estate as bargain-basement prices?

Darn.

"Regarding the article discussing cesium found in Tokyo:

Although I didn't sight the actual Asahi article myself, I read the article that was copy & pasted onto the Japanese website, as well as the newspaper clipping that was linked, and they both look to be legitimate. The samplings were apparently taken at various locations in Tokyo, Chiba, Saitama, Ibaraki, and Fukushima. The earliest sample is from March 19th (Fukushima, 27650 becquerels/kilo). The most recent sample was taken on April 20th from the city of Tateyama in Chiba (127 becquerels/kilo) and the city of Kamisu in Ibaraki (455 becquerels/kilo). Tokyo's highest reading was from Kameido in the suburb of Koto-ku　(3201 becquerels/kilo) sampled on April 16th. "
