When will it be safe for the farmers of Fukushima to resume their

depends upon who and where.

one plan puts clean up at 40 years.

if i were an older person without children
it wouldn't make that much difference as
hot spots can be detected and cleaned up
before a garden could be used.

for younger people who are hoping to
have children i'd wait...

right now with the plant still being
a possible source of more leaks it is too
risky to be too close. i wouldn't want
to be any place within 10 miles in general
and probably further away if it were down
wind of prevailing winds.

still, the country of Japan with such
limited land area it would make more sense
to get on top of this sooner rather than
later to get the land back into production.

i'm a bit more worried about what has been
and might be still dumped into the sea. a
contaminated fish can swim a long ways before
being caught.

It's a solution without any problem.
