Map - Maximum Radiation Levels in Eastern Japan

submitted by Stuart Leiderman - September 26, 2011

The radiation pattern suggested by the map at http://www.japantimes.co.jp/radiation-levels.html does not follow the simple radii circles; thus the map does not educate the public on controlling factors.

It would be better to have maps with iso-lines that account for topography, weather history, soil type, etc.  Then, an agricultural defense might be envisioned.  This requires a new national soil survey, including radiology, and land-use inventory.

'best,

Stuart
