Radioactive substances belong to landowners, not us
Radiation Levels at Sunfield Nihonmatsu Golf Club, 45 km west of Fukushima meltdowns, on Aug. 10
2.91 microsieverts per hour was recorded 10 centimeters above ground at the tee of the sixth hole
51.1 microsieverts per hour near a drainage ditch in a parking space for golf carts, similar to level 2.4 km from the plant
A radiation testing agency checked the course on Nov. 13
235,000 becquerels of cesium per kilogram of grass was detected, a level that would put the area into a Chernobyl no-entry zone (235,000 Bq/kg = 15,275,000 Bq/m²; After Chernobyl above 1,480,000 Bq/m² required migration, 555,000-1.48 million Bq/m² was for temporary migration)
On Nov. 17
Radioactive strontium at 98 Bq/kg was detected in the grass and ground
TEPCO’s Answer to Golf Course’s Lawsuit
“Radioactive materials that scattered and fell from the Fukushima No. 1 nuclear plant belong to individual landowners there, not TEPCO”
“There is room for doubt about the ability of the measuring equipment the city used and the accuracy of the records”
“There are sites overseas with an annual reading of 10 millisieverts of natural radiation”
District Court Decision on Oct. 31
Rejected TEPCO’s argument that radioactive fallout belongs to individual landowners
Deemed the city’s radioactivity measurements credible
Ruled that companies have the right to demand decontamination work by TEPCO
Yet it said central or local governments should be responsible for the decontamination work, given efficiency of cleanup operations so far
Rejected companies’ demand for compensation, saying the golf course operations could have been resumed because the radiation levels were below 3.8 microsieverts per hour, the yardstick set by the science ministry in April for authorizing the use of schoolyards
h/t Anonymous tip (Thanks to all those anonymous tippers out there)






Try reading this in the light that the average background radioactive signal is 23 micro sieverts/hour and that you can double this by simply travelling up onto tableland that is 600 m sea level. You are exposed to far more radiation when you have a CAT scan or go on an intercontinental flight.
My apologize. I was out by a factor of one hundred.
The average individual background radiation dose: 0.23 μSv/h (2.0 mSv/year) [ Some sources say 2.2. mSv/year]. This can be dramatically increased if you have one chest CT scan per year (= 6 – 18 mSv) or one mammogram per year ( = 4 – 5 mSv).
The average exposure of an American to radiation is 0.71 microSv/h (6.2 mSv/year).
The hourly dose in the city of Fukushima for May 25 th 2011 was 1.6 μSv/h (14 mSv/year).
This is seven times above average background which is serious. However, the recommendation for nuclear workers is that they should average less than 20 mSv/yr (2.28 microSv/h) over five years, with the maximum exposure in any one year of 50 mSv (5.70 microSv/h). This is below that limit.
The hourly dose in Tokyo for May 25th 2011 was 0.062 μSv/h (0.54 mSv/year)

Holy glowing golf balls Batman!
Yeah, probably not as much to worry about as some of the other problems Japan faces in the aftermath of the earthquake. Still seems to be a bit of a cop-out on the part of the Reactor owners though.

I’d recommend the following site if you want to put the Fukushima accident into perspective:

That shit on your land belongs to you! It can’t be ours.
Sounds like lawyer bull crap to me. pg
