I think we have to be mindful of news that comes from "official news sources". even if they are official, they are might not be the whole truth.

If I am Japan, I will downplay the effects of the radiation spread as it will hurt my tourism economy. whatever the WHO can find/ report to the world might also be watered down OR they didn't check thoroughly. (you know like in audits, sometimes employees can hide bad data/ wayang good data and if the auditor never check thoroughly then the company will pass the audit with flying colours).

And all you people who posted "nothing happen to me leh"/"I didn't grow another arm/leg leh" should be aware that you are already an adult, mutation doesn't work that way, u think u playing Fallout izzit? The worse effect is when you want to have baby and it comes out all deformed (if can spot during pre-natal is considered lucky liao) if not lucky cannot physically spot one then is baby will have weak immune systems which can't be changed.

Whether we will know if the radiation affects Japan is seeing their next generation born over the next 10 years. I thought you guys should have seen the Chernobyl videos on those born after the explosion.

It is true that the radiation effects will kick in much later. However "we will know if the radiation affects japan is seeing their next generation born over the next 10 years" ???

2 Atomic bombing was done in Nagasaki and hiroshima in 1945 during WWII. You can see for yourself the "next generations" in Nagasaki and Hiroshima in 2012. I think that sort of answer your question.

The whole gist is to be anti-nuclear power, which means that in the event that coal and other fuel runs out, the option should be others sources like solar power and not nuclear plant to generate electricity. This is then the real issue that will affect the "next generation" of not only Japan, but the whole world.

While I fully respect people's decisions to cancel their plans to Japan because of the radiation concerns, it is still absurd to hear "rumours" from colleague's friend's relative's. Of course mutation doesn't happen that way, but what we're trying to emphasize here is that the situation in Japan is not as crazy as the "rumours" claimed to be.

Would it be more alarming to hear that Japan is not radiation-free, or the fact that almost everything around us are radioactive?

This may be slightly dated, but is still a good educational article: Go Figure: What bananas tell us about radiation

All i can say is, do not under estimate the effects of radiation.
My family doctor has told us not to start any baby plans, at least 6mths after visiting Japan.

I must comment that this family doctor knows not much about the effects of radiation on female eggs and long term effects on female reproductive system.

Or maybe he/she just want to let you have peace of mind knowing that psychological is more serious than physical.

Yes, do stay away from Japan. For at least the next 20years. I'm being to osaka and Tokyo for the past week and I can feel that there's something going on with me.... It seems like I'm turning green!! Every time I see my wallet, I feel giddy and green-ing...
