For the peace of mind of those traveling through living in or worrying about their loved ones here in Matsumoto city I will log the radiation levels here in Matsumoto each day for those concerned….you will be able to see if there is any Health and Safety issue in Matsumoto area.<\/p>\n

I will for now unless there is reason to provide more detail just give a daily summary.. The data is sourced from this Japanese page.<\/p>\n

http:\/\/www.pref.nagano.jp\/kankyo\/kansei\/houshanou\/houshanou.htm<\/a>
\nFYI To date there has been no even slightly dangerous radiation levels here nor are they expected to become so.<\/p>\n

Todays radiation levels began at \t\t\t0.072 microsieverts per hour that is 0.000072 millisieverts per hour and ended at around \t0.066 microsieverts per hour.<\/p>\n

Bananas have normal radiation levels of about 0.52 microsieverts (.00052 millisieverts) per 150g banana.<\/p>\n

So on the Banana meter today your radiation exposure was the same as eating 3.18 Bananas<\/strong><\/p>\n

for the 24 hour period. I will try to make this more informative as I have the time but as you can see for this first report there is nothing to worry about here in Matsumoto today. So still, you can T.I.P\/L.I.P in Matsumoto. (Travel in Peace\/Live in Peace in Matsumoto).<\/p>\n
