The 10th year soil radioactivity measurement project is about to begin!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Thank you for your continued support for Hakaruwakaru Hiroba. Ten years have passed since the Fukushima nuclear accident on March 11, 2011.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

 Radioactive substances were scattered throughout the environment, polluting it. Worrying about the extent of the contamination of soil and food, we asked ourselves, \u201cIs this food okay to eat ?\u201d or “Is it safe for our children to play in this sandbox?”  Consequently we launched this Hakaruwakaru Hiroba (Hachioji Citizens Radioactivity Measurement Room), supported by citizens from near and far.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And now, 10 years after the accident, we once again worry, \u201cWhat has happened to the radioactive contamination of the soil ?\u201d  So, we have decided to start our \u201c10th Year Soil Radioactivity Measurement Project.”  Fortunately enough, the data has been stored in Hakaruwakaru Hiroba for 10 years.  If you measure the soil now, you can see how the radioactivity of the soil has changed (or has not changed) since 2011.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If many of you join this project, we can get a wider view of the actual condition of pollution, by measuring the soil at as many points as possible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So please participate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you want to participate in this project, please check the following:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u26ab\ufe0e Period: November 2020~December 2021<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u26ab\ufe0e  Measurement fee: Free.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u26ab\ufe0e We ask participants to bring in a sample soil, but please consult us if coming from far away.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u26ab\ufe0e  We ask participants to take a 1000cc sample of soil. (1L milkpack full) .<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u26ab\ufe0e Collect the soil digging down to a depth of 5 cm from the surface at the same location where it was previously collected .<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u26ab\ufe0e  If you have the previous measurement record, please bring it with you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u26ab\ufe0e  A reservation is required for measurement at https:\/\/hachisoku.org\/yoyaku<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

 We sincerely look forward to your participation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
