NHK: "French research institute finds high radioactivity"
http://www3.nhk.or.jp/daily/english/01_36.html
"A French independent radioactivity watchdog has found radiation in Fukushima Prefecture 60 times higher than the annual reference level for ordinary people recommended by an international commission.
"Bruno Chareyron, director of the research institute CRIIRAD, briefed reporters in Tokyo on Wednesday on the results of its survey of the air in Fukushima Prefecture.
"The measurements and calculations found an annualized amount of 60 millisieverts at a farm in Iitate Village in the prefecture.
"The level is 60 times higher than the annual limit for ordinary people, except for radiation workers, of 1 millisievert, recommended by the International Commission on Radiological Protection.
"The researchers also found high radiation levels in Fukushima City. At some places in the city, the levels of radioactivity were 7 to 9 millisieverts a year…

Quirin Schiermeier: "Wildlife threatened by Fukushima radiation"
http://www.nature.com/news/2011/110527/full/news.2011.326.html
"Leaked isotopes likely to affect marine ecosystems more than terrestrial ones
"Aquatic organisms, like seaweed, have been hit hard by the radioactive fallout from the Fukushima plant.Noriko Hayashi/Greenpeace
"Radiation released by the tsunami-struck Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant could have long-lasting consequences for the natural environment in the vicinity of the damaged plant.
"Scientists estimate that in the first 30 days after the accident on 11 March, trees, birds and forest-dwelling mammals were exposed to daily doses up to 100 times greater – and fish and marine algae to doses several thousand times greater - than are generally considered safe.
"Radioecologists with the French Institute of Radioprotection and Nuclear Safety (ISRN) in Cadarache converted concentrations of radioisotopes measured in the soil and seawater into the actual doses that various groups of wildlife were likely to have received1. Their results are published this week in Environmental Science & Technology...."
Also: Radiation Safety Philippines has a video of testing for radioactivity outside the exclusion zone. Scary.

"This soil sample was taken by www.Safecast.org at Koriyama on May 17, 2011. That is 60km away from the plants (30km outside the exclusion zone), 2 months after the earthquake and tsunami and over 1000 times higher than the normal room reading (which is between 0 and 1 at TokyoHackerspace)"
