   Wondering if you’ve had any recent experience testing food (rice, fish, etc) and water (tap or bottled)…I’m planning a trip to Japan in April but keep hearing anecdotes of cesium and other radioactive materials found in foodstuffs. Do you have any data to support or refute this? Thanks!

   The difference between Safecast.org and fukushima-diary.com is that people with Safecast are interested in truth, whereas the person behind fukushima-diary is interested in fear. One person sits at a computer and posts extremely-poorly translated rumors and anecdotes causing alarm, while others are out with Geiger counters and using knowledge to learn, measure, and understand.

   Safecast.org represents a healthy response, a positive response to a negative event, while fukushima-diary represents sickness.

   I am sure that the progress gained from the knowledge accumulated by Safecast will have benefit for future humans well beyond the scope of Japan.

   Dear Safecasters, I am planning soon a journey to Japan and I wanted to take my Inspector Alert Geiger Counter with me. Since you are using the same measurement geiger device, I wanted to ask you for advice about its transportation and usage. For example, is it safe to take the Inspector Alert with you in the aircraft cabin? The pancake tube won’t be damaged by different pressure experienced during the take-off, inflight and landing? Thank you very much for your answer and for any other information you’ll provide. Best regards. Luca M.
