Message from Project 47

Since March 11th, the situation in Japan became incredibly awful and terrible. Because the disaster of the Earthquake? Tsunami? Yes, of course but not only. As you know the serious problem is going on still in Japan... nuclear plant disaster. Also, the serious action must be taken by the government is out of order and totally out of control which you can see in insane folly decisions made by government. We are in between both natural disaster and human disaster. I tell you what.

According to the decision made by the nuclear safety agency of cabinet office, ministry of education and science put the amount limit of exposure up to 20mSv per year. This number is not just only for grown-ups, but for the kids also. Let's compare this number to other cases. In Germany, 20 mSv per year is amount limit for the nuclear plant workers.* 5 years after the Chernobyl accident, Belorussian government decide to give the right to the residents to migrate from the place where there is radioactivity of 1mSv per year. For the place where there is 5mSv per year, the residents were put in duty to migrate from that place.** So, let's come back to the situation in Fukushima, even the kids are more sensitive for radioactive than grown-ups, the government demand kids to stay in such contaminated places. They decided this after they made measurements on 1600 places of nursery, pre-school, elementary school, and junior high school. If we don't call this as crazy, so what else we can call.

TV, government officers, politicians, and scholars patronized by nuclear industry keep saying “it's safe, it's safe, and it's safe”. They say that the information which alert the danger of radioactive contamination is going on, are false information and those are harmful rumors. Harmful rumor? False information? Yes, we know radiation is harmful. Yes, we know 20mSv is not the right amount limit for keeping one's health and safety life especially for children. Who is spreading harmful rumors? Who is spreading the false information? Who keeps emitting 154 trillion becquerel of radiation every day? Yes, we know who they are. What they need is to look into the mirror and to see who they are.

From the total amount of discharged radiation since March 11th to April 11th , we know now the amount of radiation per day in that period is 10000 trillion to 20000 trillion.*** We already had enough. What we need is to face to the bare fact and make provision and decision by ourselves.

We have established Project 47 to do that. For let people to know the right information and to see what is really going on. 47 is the symbolic number which represents the total number of prefectures in Japan. This is not only for Japanese people but for all the people who is living and continue to live in Japan, need to live along with radiation since March 11. The radiation doesn't discriminate who he or she is. It matters No race, No nationality, No rich nor poor, and it doesn't even need the passport or visa to get out from this country. We will measure and detect by ourselves, also we pass the radiation measuring instruments onto the people who are living at the spot to measure by themselves, to know, to see which is invisible, to recognize the real situation and to make a right decision for them and for all of us. OK, it's no matter even the government won't do it. We the people do it.

We call to the people around the world for the support and help for our and your future. Please join us to let the people on the spot to decide to evacuate either migrate.

In addition, we deeply thank to CRIIRAD for the support, equipments, advise and scientific methodology for measurement.
