Tokyo Mayor couldn’t believe Radioactivity level.

Radiation hotspot detected in Tokyo:
As the nightmare scenario of evacuating the 13 million from the Tokyo Metropole came a step closer, the British Government announced there is NO PROBLEM and it has identified eight potential sites in England and Wales for new nuclear power stations by 2025.

TOKYO — [...] Japanese media said researchers found radiation levels of 3.35 microsieverts per hour along a street in the west of [Tokyo] — 220 kilometres (136 miles) from Fukushima — much higher than previously reported levels. [...]

 [...] Radiation levels in the area have not fallen since [Setagaya] ward’s efforts to decontaminate it on October 6, and authorities are instructing children to avoid the walkway as they go to school.

 

Setagaya Mayor Nobuto Hosaka told TBS: “I thought the reading must be a mistake when I first heard” [...]

Later reports claimed the radioactivity is coming from ‘empty bottles in an abandoned basement’ and is ‘unconnected with Fukushima’.
