Will traveling to Japan be affected by Fukushima nuclear radiation?

On February 12, after the maximum radiation value was reached in the containment of Unit 2 of Fukushima nuclear power plant, the Japanese Embassy in China issued an announcement in official website, hoping that the Japanese government could make a responsible explanation on how to take effective measures to effectively eliminate the impact of the nuclear accident.

This is not only responsible to Japanese nationals, but also to the people of neighboring countries and the international community.

The announcement mentioned that nuclear radiation in the relevant areas may exist for a long time, and suggested that overseas Chinese in China and Japanese citizens in Japan make good travel plans.

On February 24th, Jeju Airlines cancelled the flight from Incheon to Fukushima due to radiation problems. According to the Yonhap News Agency website, for the safety of passengers and employees, Korean airline Jeju Airlines canceled its service from Incheon, South Korea to Fukushima, Japan.

At present, except for some areas near the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant, the overall air nuclear radiation level in Japan has dropped sharply, and most areas including Tokyo have dropped to the level before the "3. 1 1 earthquake".

However, earthquakes and tsunami threats frequently occur in Japan. At present, there are still many problems in the control of leakage accidents, and such hidden dangers cannot be ignored.

In addition, the disposal capacity of the Japanese government and TEPCO not only worries the local people, but also worries the international community. From "core melting" to "stealing sewage", it is still difficult to draw a conclusion that how much harm the Fukushima accident has not reflected in the measured values of atmospheric radiation. At the same time, the Japanese government is still guiding foreign tourists to the incident.

Moreover, the pollution of food and other links. Even if it is not in the isolation zone, the pollution of soil, vegetables and seafood is still worrying. You still need to be very careful when choosing sashimi and other foods in Japan.

Environmental and food risks caused by nuclear radiation still exist. Professor Qingshan, a professor at the Institute of Environmental Radioactive Energy of Fukushima University, found that the total amount of radioactive cesium 137 leaked after the accident at the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant was about 1.5 times that previously announced by Tokyo Electric Power Company. Radioactive substances may be enriched in the food chain of fish and shellfish.

As for whether to go to Japan or not, everyone has the right to judge and choose, but the premise is to fully understand the current situation and situation. Friends who travel to Japan or work and study in Japan should try to stay away from Fukushima nuclear power plant 10 to more than 20 kilometers. Don't go to Fukushima and its vicinity.
