China finds high radiation on two Japanese travellers who did not go closer than 150 miles of the pl

Found this news very interesting and disturbing.As they were not closer than 150 miles to the plant how on earth were they so radiated and what does that mean for the people in Japan are they now all at risk? www.bbc.co.uk...

In China, the authorities say two Japanese tourists found to have high levels of radiation arrived from Tokyo.

The Chinese government says they were sent to a specialist hospital following tests on their luggage and clothes that detected radiation levels "seriously exceeding limits".

It remains unclear how the two may have become contaminated as neither traveller is reported to have been within 240km (150 miles) of the Fukushima plant, says the BBC's Mark Worthington.

BEIJING - China said on Friday that two Japanese travelers who arrived in east China by air were found to have radiation levels "seriously exceeding limits" when they entered the country on Wednesday.

"Tests showed that the two travelers seriously exceeded the limit," the General Administration of Quality Supervision, Inspection and Quarantine said, referring to radiation levels.

The agency's statement said the two travelers were given medical treatment and presented no radiation risk to others.

There are an number of sources that claim this to be true, and that these guys lived within 125 and 200 miles of the stricken plant... the Chinese have also taken the same precautions on a Japanese merchant vessel.

EG Times of India quoting AFP sources

The two Japanese travelers arrived in the city of Wuxi on Wednesday night, the General Administration of Quality Supervision, Inspection and Quarantine, said in a statement.

They were later sent to a hospital in the nearby city of Suzhou, where they were "decontaminated", given iodine tablets, and released after a short time, Liu Yulong, the doctor who treated them, told AFP.

But the question is how much of it is propaganda since it all seems to tie in with banning products/produce from Japan. Expanded article from Reuters including updates on Chinese concerns on Japanese produce

damn...

it was so frikkin obvious those explosions in the reactors meant serious stuff.....being lied to this way is epically horrible

JAPAN

Good find - thanks. I really can't say that I am shocked by this though. The exceptional downplay of the seriousness and the lack of information coming out was a red flag that something was/is seriously wrong. Even to laymans like myself, it didn't make sense.

Since this was found by another government, one can only imagine how many Japanese people are affected and what the long and short term damage is going to be to that population as whole. My heart goes out to all of them.

I agree unfortunately. No one wants doom and gloom,and everyone in Japan,and the world would love for things to get better,and fast. The problem,and its been a problem the WHOLE time,TEPCO has been unwilling to give realistic information,concerning their reactors. The truth will come out.You cant hide this disaster.

Sorry don't know what happened there ,I have fixed link here it is again www.bbc.co.uk... edit to add story starts half way down articale.

I feel sorry for the people of Japan who have obviously been lied too about the true extent of this disaster.. The thing is though is that it will be impossible to hide it forever..

TPTB should give due dignity to the people and tell the truth for a change...

I knew what you mean't i was just joking
Secondline

The travelers had come to China from Tokyo www.bbc.co.uk...

In China, the authorities say two Japanese tourists found to have high levels of radiation arrived from Tokyo

I would think that there is fair probability that the travelers may actually live in Tokyo itself. If that is the case then the implications are enormous bearing in mind the population of Tokyo is 12 million www.japaneselifestyle.com.au... and that the radiation levels found on them were "seriously exceeding limits". www.bbc.co.uk...

I agree. Once Japan,or TEPCO officials say their is a full scale breach(I believe this will happen) You are going to see mass panic,Everything Japanese being on some sort of ban list,mass evacuations,and a Global domino effect on the worlds financial institutions. Thats not fear mongering.Thats reality.

The overall population of the Greater Tokyo Area is over 35 million this is bad very BAD!
SHTF Bad

TEPCO needs to be held responsible we need to pull all the stops to put this nuclear crisis to an end even if we have to nuke it or something!

I know I posed this question in another thread but...

How would potentially millions of evacuees be handled or for a lack of better words, be contained?

Those 2 individuals in the bbc article had to be "decontaminated, inspected & given potassium iodine/iodate tablets. Imagine doing that to several thousand or even millions... Long process.

Think about the doctors, nurses/caregivers who help out the evacuees, they would be putting themselves at risk unless perhaps they would work on a rotating schedule or of the like. I keep thinking about the concentration levels of radiation of people being confined to a plane, boat or a inspection room. I can see having 2 people w/ excessive amounts of radiation would be manageable. But hundreds on a ship or even a plane would be a different story...

What countries would set-up for this type of evacuation? As of now, other countries aren't accepting food from Japan, including the U.S. I hate to say it, but I'll be surprised if the Japanese gov't will even do a mandatory evacuation of Japan because first Japan would need a 'end destination' for it's citizens...
