"monitoring data was actually three decimal places greater than numbers released to public"

So numbers reported as micro-sievert were actually milli-sievert? I find it difficult to believe.

Japanese Cancer Expert on the Fukushima Situation

Fukushima Residents:

3.Former Minister for Internal Affairs Haraguchi Kazuhiro has alleged that radiation monitoring station data was actually three decimal places greater than the numbers released to the public.

If this is true, it constitutes a “national crime”, in Nishio’s words. He follows with, “Giving us the truth once is much more important than saying ‘hang in there Japan!’ a million times.”

Crimes against humanity:

I presently have no factual basis upon which to accept or reject this serious allegation. Such deceptive and deadly actions, if committed, would in my humble opinion, support charges for ‘crimes against humanity’, rather than a merely local Japan national law charge.

Hokkaido Cancer Center director Nishio Masamichi, a radiation treatment specialist, begins by asserting that the Fukushima crisis has caused Japan’s “myth of nuclear safety” to crumble. He has “grave concern” for the public health effects of the ongoing radiation leak. Nishio writes, “Japan, with its history of having suffered radiation exposure from the atomic bombs, should have the most [direct] knowledge of radiation, but in fact, in the approach to the nuclear accident, has simply fallen into confusion.” He places blame on a number of groups:

1.TEPCO executives, who he accuses of having hidden the truth and prioritized the survival of the company over public health.

2.Bureaucrats who were unable to put together an accurate body of information about radiation effects from which to formulate policy.

3.A prime minister and cabinet lacking both leadership and an appropriate sense of urgency.

4.Politicians who sought to use the crisis in intra- or inter-party struggles.

5.Nuclear industry lobbyists and “academic flunkies” (goyo gakusha) of the government who built up the myth of nuclear safety in the first place.

Looking at these groups, he writes, “I just cannot feel any hope for Japan’s future. These circumstances are simply tragic.”

The new enervated Tepco

As Tepco's top executives appear unable to judge which is more important — the frontline (Fukushima No. 1), the Tepco headquarters or the prime minister's headquarters, they are snuggling up to the government. The people in Tepco's top management today have forgotten to pay attention to electricity users and local residents living near power stations. Tepco, which has survived until now through collusion with the government, has lost the honorable face as the leader of the power industry. It is wandering about.

Is this a fact ?

How can we check the facts ? Three decimal places is very significant.

Does anyone else have more information on this ?

The inscrutable Japanese social customs are likely working overtime on this bombshell allegation.

So far, it appears that there is only the single reference, in the English language.

Perhaps you can make contact.

Presumably, we must, for the present, be satisfied with general background information.
