An investigation by NHK (Nippon Housou Kyoukai/Japan Broadcasting Corporation) revealed that farmers, and colluding local politicians, across Japan have been lying about the contamination levels in their crops, and hiding the evidence!

The Japanese national government requires farmers and ranchers to  self-test their products for radiation contamination due to the ongoing meltdowns at Fukushima Daiichi.  Anything with  more than 8-thousand becquerels of radioactive materials per kilogram must be reported and stored as nuclear waste.  This self-regulation of industries is standard practice and a major reason why Japan is a Failed State.

NHK investigators found several farmers in seven prefectures were literally hiding at least 3,114 tonnes of contaminated rice straw and farm soil in giant warehouses.  Farmers are refusing to report the contamination due to fears it would reduce sales of their harvests.  Apparently the local city governments are involved as well as NHK found at least 30 municipalities were storing the undeclared farm nuke waste, and that’s even within the prefecture of Tokyo which is about 240km (150 miles) south of Fukushima!

NHK says local government administrators admitted they were acting in collusion with the farmers to prevent the spread of “false rumors”, while other local officials pointed out that Japan has yet to create a designated site for nuclear waste storage!
