#Radiation in Japan: Professor Kosako: "Come the harvest season in the fall, there will be a chaos"

Professor Toshiso Kosako of Tokyo University, who resigned in protest against the Kan Administration's policy to allow 20 millisieverts/year external radiation exposure for children which he called unacceptable and unconscionable, gave an interview for the first time since his resignation to Wall Street Journal (or so it looks).

Kosako says:

There will be chaos and scandal when the rice is harvested in the fall, as they will contain radioactive materials;

Japan is looking like a developing country in East Asia without democracy;

The government uses the high ceiling for radiation in schools so that it doesn't need to spend money to ameliorate the situation;

The government hasn't done enough to investigate ocean contamination.
