Recently the nuclear radiation has forced civilians living near the Fukushima Daiichi plant to evacuate the area. Worse than that, the Japanese have recently found small amounts of nuclear radiation in local foods and farms. although the traces of food found are generally small any amount of this type of poisoning should be taken seriously. Miles away vegetables and water supplies have been alarming people with their contamination levels. Food is being tested at all local areas and places that sell food to ensure the safety of everyone. Devices called Radiation detectors or Geiger's have become one of the best selling items in Japan. this is because these devices detect the amount of contamination in the air and also have a built in GPS to show where the contamination is.
Workers at Fukushima Daiichi plant have been forced to evacuate the area after gray smoke wafted from to nuclear reactors in that appeared to be melting. But despite this workers have returned and made amazing progress on their efforts to stop the contamination. they did this by connecting damaged reactor cooling systems to power lines. This will hopefully restore power to the water pumps which will prevent any nuclear reactor from melting down. There is also controversy over how serious the nuclear reactors have been damaged. U.S. officials believe that some irreparable core damage has already been done while the Japanese claim that there has been no problems experienced in the core of the nuclear reactors. U.S. officials still warn the Japanese to proceed with caution and have been pushing iodine tablets to the people.
