March 15, 2011, Tokyo, Tokyo Prefecture, Japan: Commuters in Tokyo wear faces masks to guard against radiation. Ongoing explosions and fires at the nuclear power plant In Fukushima Prefecture has sent a radioactive cloud wafting over the nation's capitol. According to government officials, the radiation levels in Tokyo were twenty times higher than normal in the metropolis. An initial explosion at the plant was caused by the massive 9.0 magnitude quake that struck Japan on March 11. the Tokyo Metropolitan Government has reassured the public that there no immediate risk to human health. ///These are rush hour commuters at Tokyo's major rail hub, Tokyo Station..

Potassium iodide tablets at Swiss embassy for expats
March 16, 2011, Tokyo, Japan: 2600 potassium iodide or iodine tablets was rushed to Japan exclusively for Swiss nationals living in Japan. These same kind of tablets are not available over the counter in Japan and are currently being stockpiled by the Japanese government and hospitals, especially in Fukushima prefecture. This is where the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear reactor plant was damaged due to the massive 9.0 magnitude quake that struck Japan on March 11, 2011. Currently, two reactors at this plant have ruptured and are now venting radiation at an almost uncontrollable state. Japanese survivors of the tsunami and earthquake who live near the nuclear plant are being told to take iodine tablets as a precaution against thyroid cancer. It is believed that the radiation leaking from the plants is radioactive iodine, which can cause thyroid cancer. Potassium iodide or KI, as it's known chemically, is a common form of salt and is known to protect the thyroid gland from radiation and cancer caused by radioactive iodine. ///Potassium iodide tablets at Swiss embassy.

Expat science buff monitors radiation levels in Tokyo
March 24, 2011, Minato Ward, Tokyo, Tokyo Prefecture, Japan: 30-year-old Steve Danieletto, is an Australian expat living in Tokyo while working as the IT Manager for the English info magazine Metropolis. Danieletto, a science major, has been intrigued by the radiation danger and began taking daily samples and posting them on Youtube. His readings have been a relief to expats living in Tokyo as many distrust official Japanese figures. According to Danieletto, the air quality in Tokyo is safe at the moment, averaging about 0.02 micro sieverts, except for one day last week when there was a spike in which normal levels were 20 times higher. He also discovered that many plants have been getting double the amount of readings, especially due to the past three days of rain. Japanese officials have announced that there are low levels of radiation in spinach, milk, and now drinking water, leading to a shortage of bottled water anywhere in the Tokyo area.///Steven Danieletto taking geiger counter readings in the Roppongi District of Tokyo..
