  1. Wondering what your data has been lately like testing food (rice, fish, etc) and water (tap or bottled)...I'm planning a trip to Japan in April but keep hearing anecdotes of cesium and other radioactive materials found in foodstuffs. I thought of bringing a geiger counter but after reading your blog, it seems I'd have to spend thouands of dollars on technology I can't afford in order to properly test my meals...

    It would be very helpful to know what you've found so far, since you've had this technology. THANKS!

  2. The work that I attempted to do was posted on http://nirnsa.blogspot.com

    Another place to find information on current tests is https://sites.google.com/site/tokyokidsradiation/

    This concerned foreigner in Japan already has all his lab equipment set up and is posting test results. It looks mostly promising, but I invite you to visit these two pages yourself. I am working with a company called CHP Consultants to build a package radiation testing set and offer training and examples. Once that is available, it will be posted to http://nirnsa.blogspot.com
