Japan's nuclear radiaton found in food

The earthquake was occurred in Japan; although earthquake is a common thing in Japan since it is located in the middle pace where connect Pacific Plate and Eurasia Plate. There are many activities. More than 6000 people were dead from this disaster. This is the most serious earthquake since two earthquakes taken place before.

The nuclear leakage resulted from earthquake make disaster get worse and worse. Some workers sign the contract that shows the people may not come back in their life; they may sacrifice their life in the process of restoring nuclear in order to halt radiation. The news of food contamination came as emergency workers scrambled to curb a nuclear crisis sparked by last week’s monster earthquake and tsunami.

So far, the radiation was spread into the plant. The spinach and milk were affected by contamination, but the contamination in the food has no harmful influence can lead people to death if people do not take into body. The director of nuclear system warns that though radioactive iodine has s short half-life of about eight days and decays naturally within a matter of weeks, there is a short-term risk to human health if radioactive iodine in food is absorbed into the human body.

At the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear plant that is responsible for the contamination, emergency crews connected electric cables needed to power up cooling systems in the six stricken reactors rendered inoperable after the tsunami.

The situation in Japan has been stabilized, though there is still much contamination. The workers in the Fukushima suffer from the radiation for a long time. People are naturally exposed to about 3 millisieverts of radiation a year, no more than 50 millisieverts exposure in a given year for nuclear rescue and recovery workers. It offers no restriction in a crisis when “ the benefit to others clearly outweighs the rescuer’s risk.”
