Here in the city of Inzai, situated in the north of Greater Tokyo, life seems to be slowly heading back for normal, in spite of the fact that situations in the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plants are still far from stabilization.
Radiation in drinking water: 18 Bq/kg of I-131, no other radio-active elements found
as of 9:00, 31 March at the Hokuso Water Purifying Plant that supplies to my tap. The worst figures were 97Bq/kg of I-131 and small amounts of Cs-134 and Cs-137.
Radiation in the air: maximum 0,079 μSv/hour, on 31 March in Chiba city.
Normal time averages were 0,022-0,044 μSv/hour (for example in 2009)
Yesterday I went for a walk and dropped at some supermarkets to see the supply situation. "Natto" was back on the shelves, but the stores requested each client to take only one package. I also found enough bottled water. The stores asked each client not to take more than three bottles, though.
I hope the situations continue to normalize and stabilize also in the Tohoku area.
