Tokyo Uninhabitable?

I am not one for conspiracy theories, this source is sketchy but does anyone have a source in or around Tokyo that can confirm or deny this story?

Tokyo Contaminated & Not Fit for Habitation, Doctor Says

I can ask my wife's acupuncturist in a few weeks when I see her, she goes back there every few months. Last time I asked her though she wasn't too worried about it.

I was in Tokyo 10 months ago, seemed like the most habitable city I've ever seen. I don't know anyone there right now, but I will in a few months.

Makes me think of this game.

I go to a Japanese-English language meetup once every week or so. I've never heard any of the Japanese or gaijin who have been to Japan say anything like that.

So, yeah.

State secrets? It seems to m that if you want to fact check the article - all you need it some fairly cheap test equipment and a ticket to Tokyo.

If it's hot, it's hot. There is no magic.

I watched a great documentary the topic of nuclear ... events. Pandora's Promise; it's on Netflix. Part of the documentary is a man in many different locales videoing a Geiger counter.

All the while not realizing there is natural forms of radiation.....like heat from the sun.

In reply to yamaha: What do you mean? He went to the black sand beaches in Hawaii and a bunch of other seemingly random places as a point a reference to the natural forms of radiation. Of course he went to Fukushima, Chernobyl and a couple other places of nuclear significance. He even references flying and the amount of radiation received onboard the aircraft.

Of course this is my recollection and might be a bit hazy since it's been months.

'Uninhabitable' is wildly overstated, as there are millions of humans and billions of plants and animals living in and around Tokyo today.

Radiation exposure is bad, sure, but just how bad and in what quantities over what duration is subject to a lot of disagreement among scientists, doctors and health officials. The huge resurgence of plant and animal life since people have vacated Chernobyl is evidence enough that we don't have a solid understanding of how radioactivity impacts life.

In reply to RossD:

I was referencing merely the geiger counter part....most people who use them in any "Journalistic" way are just fear mongering. So pardon my skepticism.

Or the Granite in Grand Central Station.

Seeing as how the Japanese government looks set to start the re-opening process for some of their nuclear reactors, I'd have to say BOGUS.

according to a lot of maps with red coloring on them that were circling the internet last year, the entire Pacific ocean is either dead or full of Godzilla monsters right now... seems like everyone was making maps that showed that the radiation in the ocean was above normal without bothering to say what the baseline levels were before Fukushima and how high they have to be to be dangerous- they generally also left out what kinds of radiation they were measuring.

When was tokyo actually habitable?
