In case you havn't already heard, the Fukushima meltdown disaster is actually much worse than anyone thought due to the Japanese government witholding information and sweeping the event under the rug.
An investigative journalist went to Tokyo and in the not too distant past and took soil samples from a playground there. The soil was found to be almost pure radioavtive waste.
It is now being said that had the Japanese government cared about it's people the evacuation of Tokyo would have been initiated long ago.
Furthermore, reports are now emerging which conclude that the entire northern hemisphere may not even be safe and that the background radiation experienced by people in airplanes is now so high that it may no longer be a safe form of travel!
if you would like to know more there is a wealth of information on the subject here;
