Soil contamination, 34 points Chernobyl migration criteria super: Science: YOMIURI ONLINE (Yomiuri Shimbun)

The Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology measures the contamination status of soil at about 2,200 points. As a result, the concentration of radioactive cesium 137 was the highest in Okuma Town, which was about 15.45 million Becquerel per square meter. After the accident at the Chernobyl nuclear power plant, the concentration of 137 cesium per square meter was 1.48 million Beccrel, so it is said to be more than 10 times. By the way, the contamination concentration at this point in Okuma Town is about 29.46 million Becquerel when combined with Cesium 134.

In addition, Cesium 137 concentration exceeded 3 million Becquerel at 16 different points in Okuma Town, Futaba Town, Namie Town, and Tomioka Town, and when the site exceeds the compulsory migration criterion of the Chernobyl nuclear accident, furthermore Iidate Village, Total of 34 municipalities, including Minami Soma City, total 34 points.

Also, a hot spot where radioactive substances were detected at high concentrations was found even at a considerably remote place (within a radius of 350 km from the accident site), from where the migration of residents was promoted, and hundreds of thousands migrated in total.

Although 25 years have passed since the Chernobyl nuclear power plant accident, people can not live in this area now, it is transformed into a paradise for animals and plants.
