"Meet Me in Fukashima" | Cary Grant Movie

Japanese officials have now announced it's safe (wink, wink) for people to return to their homes in the Fukashima area from where they were previously ordered to evacuate.  (RT:  Fukushima residents to return six years after nuclear meltdown (VIDEO))

There are three towns in the area and tourist centers are offering deals on a bus tour of all them.  See Radioactive Hell, Don't Have Children ... Ever, and Learn to Love Radiation with a fun-loving group of international tourists.  One of the coolest things about all of these places is you will be able to see the Northern Lights here and you will be able to see the phenomenon in the daytime ... at least until the radiation sickness starts causing cataracts.

It's not so long since we heard the worst of the failed reactors at Fukashima is so hot their robos are failing to get much done because the radiation wipes them out so quickly.  We're sure that's a localized problem and it hasn't, well, leaked into the water table or anything of that nature.

Ed:  how come they have been shooting radioactive hogs in Fukashima lately?

Probably because radioactive material got into the water table.  We're sure shooting the hogs is just a precautionary measure, however (wink, wink).


If you think Japanese are buying any of this bullshit, don't worry at all.  Less than fifteen percent are willing to move back even when they have homes back there.

So far, the homecoming has not been as successful as government officials had hoped, as not many people are willing to go back. In fact, only 14.5 percent of residents have returned to areas that previously had their evacuation orders lifted, according to the Japan Times.

The government’s fiscal 2017 budget set aside 23.6 billion yen ($212 million) to restore the healthcare system and other essential facilities to encourage the return of evacuees.

There's some government genius for you.  It's safe to go back but we will bump up the medical care just in case (wink, wink).


Fooling Japanese on this will be difficult.  They made loads of really awful B&W sci fi movies in the Fifties and Sixties but the movies were huge fun for kids.  Almost all of those movies were based on monsters with a genesis in the radiation coming from the aboveground nuclear testing at the time.  It may well be their nuclear awareness may be higher than elsewhere but that doesn't go a millimeter toward explaining why they build nuclear reactors in a highly active earthquake zone which is often blessed by monster tsunamis.
