950 MICRO SIEVERT PER HOUR IN MINAMISOMA, FUKUSHIMA PREFECTURE, BLACK POWDER
[Translated excerpt] Black powder (statement, Sat-black substance) from 950 micro sievert
per hour seems to be detected in Minamisoma, Fukushima Prefecture. You
can not simply compare and black powder found in Edogawa-ku, Tokyo,
Kashiwa, Chiba, and, it is not enough to become a high number of
comparisons.

There is other evidence that black soil being found in areas of Japan is highly contaminated:
In June of 2012, reports
of highly radioactive black soil began appearing in Japan. On June 14 the Asahi Shimbun ran a story addressing the
soil:[i]
The highest level of
radioactivity detected--about 5.57 million becquerels per kilogram--came from
black soil collected in the Kanaya neighborhood of the Odaka district of
southern Minami-Soma. In 36 out of 41 locations in Fukushima Prefecture where
black soil was collected, the radioactivity level exceeded 100,000 becquerels
per kilogram. If that level was found in incinerator ash, it would have to be
handled very carefully and buried in a facility that had a concrete exterior
separating it from its surroundings.
Citizens concerned about the highly radioactive
soil brought samples to Tomoya Yamauchi, an academic specializing in radiation
measurement. Yamauchi found that the soil contained radioactive cesium at
levels of 1.08 million becquerels per kilogram. Other samples of soil brought
in from Minami-Soma contained plutonium and strontium. Tokyo also yielded
samples of highly radioactive soil. Despite the high levels of radiation, the
article reported that no action was being taken to remove the soil:
But for now, nothing is
being done about the black soil with high levels of radiation. "Because it
normally is found on the ground, we believe it is not something that will have
immediate effects on human health," a Minami-Soma municipal government
official said.
No “immediate effects on human health” has become
an often chanted mantra.
