And so it begins. Radiation finally reaches my area //might get evacuated

Well right now the radiation is equivalent to an X-ray body scan but it's getting worse. What's bad is, my school knows this yet they still won't let us out. Teachers are panicking as well as students. We might get evacuated soon, but it's still 50/50. 3 are now in meltdown while the fourth one is on fire. May god help us all...

I'll put info on here later, I'll update for personal reference and for ATS to know...thanks.

What part of Japan are you located in right now?

Where are you at OP? I hope it drops!

If they won't let you, go anyway. Get the hell away from there and good luck.

This does not sound good at all radiation at the level of an x-ray is not a a good sign.
How close to the nuclear plant are you?

Guys I am located in Ayase, Japan. ATM I am I school at Zama, a military base. I think we're a little south from Tokyo. I'll get a map later, I'm on an iPhone using 3G from my friend.

I don't think I'd be waiting for permission to leave...
Hope you stay safe..

iAnjo, I thought you should see this, so I will post it again here-

# NEWS ADVISORY: Radiation 33 times normal level measured in Utsunomiya, Tochigi (13:12)

# NEWS ADVISORY: Radiation amount in Chiba Pref. twice to 4 times normal level (13:14)

Kyodo News

Utsunomiya is located about 110 kilometers to the southwest of Fukushima.

Chiba is located about 270 kilometers to the south of Fukushima.

If I'm not mistaken the OP was in Tokyo?
I thought I saw him say that a few days ago?

Dude I'm sorry! Be Strong my Brother!

-Pax Vorbiscum!!!

Camp Zama...Been there many times. About 25 miles SW of Tokyo. Be safe friend.

we wish you luck dude. Leave while you can because you might experience mass chaos later

I would totally just leave.

You should still be alright for now. But if one of those plants go into full meltdown, people will probably panic and you might have a hard time getting out of there due to the congestion.. not to mention stores running out of food, plus stations running out of gasoline. It might be wise to leave now, just in case.

have you got a supply of iodine pills? Are they being issued?

Guys, keep in mind that he is a STUDENT at I believe a high school on a military base. Telling him he should just take off and not do what is being advised by officialls there is not a good thing to do, IMO.

I am sure that they will do all they can to keep him safe on the military base. If it is not safe to go outside, telling him to do so would be the absolute opposite of what is best for him.

OP: You continue to be in our thoughts and prayers. I hope you are in communication with your parents and the school/base is coordinating moving you guys, or else keeping you housed there for your own safety.


ETA: Right now, the military base might actually be one of the safer places.

I wish you health and luck.

If I were you, I'd honest to God say "you're *ing crazy, I'm gone" and just leave. What are they going to do? Restrain you and pin you down? Your life is at risk. I wouldn't want leukemia because some teacher didn't want me to leave.
I bet if anyone saw what leukemia was actually like in the end stages of the game, the teachers would drive you in their car away.


Also, isn't it bad that you're apparently getting a constant x-ray? The thought of that is making me feel ill.



@westcoast
I agree with you in some ways, but where would you draw the line between "risk health" and "not piss off my classmates"?

Our thoughts and prayers are with you. I wish I could say more but I am at a loss for words as the tragedy is beyonds words.

I'm not sure I would be sitting around for the officials to tell me it's time to leave. By then, it might be too late due to congestion and panic... but, being on a military base might be to his advantage. We really don't know all the details of his situation.
