Radioactive Material in Tokyo

Ikata Nuclear Power PlantImage via WikipediaThe effects of Fukushima are still being felt in Japan, this time in Tokyo, which seemed to be far enough away (160 miles) from the nuclear plants. Now, they've discovered pockets of radioactive material in a variety of locations in Tokyo proper: near ball fields, churches, schools, apartment buildings. They've found highly radioactive material in 22 of 132 locations tested. The material was brought there by rain and wind. As with much of what has happened at Fukuyama, the government is not being as transparent as one would like.
