21/6/2013 The atmospheric dose is 8-10uSv/h above the pavement in front of the city hall of Minami Soma in Fukushima prefecture. Prof.Hiroaki Koide, nuclear researcher at the University of Kyoto, measured this area a year ago and found out that it was 500,000 Bq/kg. Now it got more than double, 1,000,000 Bq/kg.   Lots of people walk on this pavement in front of the City hall. There are thin layers of mountain gravels mixed with black algae that is highly concentrated form of ionizing radiation on this pavement.

9/6/2013 32500Bq/kg including Cs134 7596Bq Cs137 13500Bq/kg was measured from the soil in front of Yagawahara public hall in Minami soma city in Fukushima prefecture. It means 1,372,000Bq/m2.

(Editor's note)

People in Fukushima prefecture have been forced to live up to 20mSv/y in despite of 1mSv/y as legal safety limit under the Japanese law.  These hot spots might indicate that they might actually be living in more than 20mSv/y zone. The Japanese Government haven't measured the current level of contamination on the land or haven't published it if they have done the survey.   You could imagine the level of contamination is bound to be worse than a year ago with continuous leaking of ionizing radiation from the crippled plant. Also there have been lots of reports saying decontamination has been ineffective. In most cases the residents live near the radioactively contaminated soil that were dug up from their garden because of a shortage of provisional storing space.

In Chernobyl nobody lives in more than 5mSv/y zone (more than 555,000Bq/m2) unless they choose to do so.

The Japanese Government wants most of evacuees to go back to their home land that have been heavily radioactively contaminated by 2020, applying UNSCEA regulation (up to 100mSv/y is safe).
