Honestly the radiation doesn't seem abnormal based on the 0.263uSv reading. Don't know how long they let the detector run but here in Australia I typically get a range of 0.1-0.3uSv with no issues. Of course that doesn't mean the soil isn't heavy metal contaminated, but it's nice to see they're improving.
Most of both Chernobyl's and Fukushima's contaminated areas are mostly safe to live in.. Farming and other agriculture is a different matter.. Belarus doesn't care (where most of the contaminated farms are)
@@100M2B Why not? There are no airborne particles being released anymore, so most of what you come in to contact with is not radioactive anymore. Only some parts of the soil might be radioactive, but you are not living in the soil are you? In 10 years the remaining radioactive particles have dropped in the soil, so are not readily on the surface anymore. You should look up places like Ramsar or Talesh Mahalleh in Iran, which can have background radiation of 20 mSv/hr !!! and people live there quite fine. In Chernobyl only a few places have such high radiation. Most places only have 3-5x normal background radiation.
It is insane but you cant knock them, the average person is drastically healthier compared to someone in the united states. We would really benefit from people buying healthy food farmed locally instead of dollar menu fast food The Japanese have always been about quality over quantity. Can you imagine the buds they could grow if they put their minds too it?
@@grod805 lmao, it has nothing to do with valuing local stuff. Japan domestic farm produce is most protected in the world from competition. they put insane tariff and import restrictions to make sure cheap and affordable foregin produce dosen't come in. Those locals have no choice but to buy super expensive local produce.
Japanese farmers are protected by high tariffs which make certain fruits and vegetables extremely expensive. Pretty much all musk melons cost 50 to 150 bucks each, as an extreme example. To justify the cost, people in Japan create a sort of a mythology of how they grow their produce and how superior it is to justify the cost like the guy spouting statistics about the sugar content of his peaches. I lived there for three years and met so many people who’d go on and on about how great the expensive apples they bought in Aomori prefecture are and I’d try one and it was a good apple but whatever.
As a hobbyist grower tryna turn pro I have a sort of reverence for the fruit growing game. EVERYTHING in nature wants sugar, and it's really only humans who take it for granted. And even then, as an American, the lust for sweet is intense! So growing fruit with that much sugar that with skin unmarred by the wild fauna isn't anything to sneeze at. 🤷🏾♀️ I credit a third of my growing sense to Masanobu Fukuoka. He was a REAL ONE and revolutionary in the growing world.
People have been fleeing the fields of Japan to live in big cities, so farmers, especially in districts too far from all central areas, usually sustain their business by making it absurdly high quality and exporting it. That's why Japan has the most expensive melon, peach, strawberry, meat, and so on.

@@valovalo4177 which nuclear believe it or not is safer than coal plants, or fossil fuel plants...yet people see this and thing guess we gotta keep using fossil fuel plants. Thinking "we gotta prevent this" is true...but when we sensationalize events like fukushima people forget that even with things like this nuclear plants are far far safer than fossil fuels. AND new types of reactors like Thorium reactors are virtually meltdown-proof. But people hear nuclear so they just say no to any plans to expand it and just keep using fossil fuels that end up with more people hurt or killed. It's sad, because by the numbers nuclear energy is incredibly safer compared to how much power it actually provides. Yes it can be better, and newer nuclear tech like thorium reactors are even safer than this one...but nobody will give it a chance.
I mean that’s really not that surprising. We live on a radioactive planet. It has been radioactive since its creation 4 billion years ago. If radiation prevented all living things then humanity would never have existed.

using lead as an additive to wine used to make it taste extra sweet. so i'm sure it's fine. totally. there will be no problems. anywhere. ever. from anything.
The farm is absolutely beautiful, but I am stunned that anyone is allowed to grow food to sell and even more shocked anyone would be willing to buy it. If the air, water and soil is fine then why has no one moved back?

@@elchucapablas idk about that, I tried some peaches from the Niagara Region of Canada and they were really tasty, comparable to Japan's more expensive peaches.
@@joegaskill8742 it's far enough from the reactor that it's not contaminated. Remember Fukushima is the name of the prefecture, which is like a u.s states. Fukushima is not the name of the plant
Perhaps this is the greatest lesson from Fukushima: nuclear has become safe. It's no longer a threat and the green movement should stop treating it like a bomb. Power plants are safe, even the food is safe. If we learn how to store nuclear waste safely, we can easily provide clean energy and avoid fossil fuels until nuclear fusion is achieved.
I’ve had the privilege to teach song and dance in Fukushima, and I can confirm, despite the immense pain that was felt in this country, their is still immense resilience, character, and grace in everyone you meet there. It is unfortunate however, that people in northern Japan, especially women. Still face discrimination because of stigma regarding their ability to have healthy babies. If you ever have the chance to visit, consider yourself lucky, as it really is one of the most beautiful places on planet earth. Visually and spiritually. I miss it.
These people should be commended for being pioneers of living and surviving in a radiated zone. They show that humanity could still exist in a post-nuclear war world.
I am not concerned about what farmers do as it 's essential to their living, therefore drive to improve. What I'm more concerned about, as the video shown, is the government and how they are going to take care of nuclear wastes. It's been just sitting there on the ground after 10 years and what will happen when another earthquake or natural disaster strikes the area? Re-contaminate the farm lands farmers worked so hard to get rid of the stigma? For the sake of the farmers, nuclear waste needs to be better secured and stored ASAP rather than a simple barrel and tarp covers.
Japanese people and the culture is so disciplined. Everything they do os done with precision and the utmost care and respect. How can anyone not lookup to this great country and it’s people. Mostly their people. My bucket list is to visit one day. One day........🙏🏼😔
Looks great on the outside, not so great on the inside which goes for most countries. Japanese culture is plagued by a toxic work culture that is leading people into social isolation and death by overwork. Then there is the beraucracy... Dear god some of the stories I have heard... The country has a lot of good things going for it, but I would never want to live there, only visit as tourist.
"Japanese agriculture is about making the highest quality produce in the world" - I'd say this sentiment can be applied to everything the Japanese create. The level of ambition from Japan is truly inspiring.
The rice from Fukushima is tested to standards 10X more stringent than the EU and 15X over the US. Your ignorance has you eating the wrong food for reasons you don't understand.
@@JizzMasterTheZeroth Your "point" was you think that food from Fukushima is overly radioactive somehow, and of course that is very ignorant and just plain wrong.
I am pretty sure those peaches are worth the money. Japanese agri is considered to be of the highest quality standard. So much so that restaurants all over the world have them imported.
Lol you do realize that everything has some form of radiation in it? Bananas for example are naturally radioactive. Microwaves are radioactive. And given our globalized economy, it’s very likely we’ve been eating this produce without knowledge.
@@DejaunWright Japanese food. Besides the fact that your claim about Microwave radiation is incorrect, if we are already being exposed to naturally occurring radiation that’s unavoidable, does it not make sense to limit unnecessary exposures where ever we can i.e. eating produce from Japan.
@@Skfkf1393a Well to think that all Japanese food entirely is inherently radioactive just because of a radiation problem in ONE area of Japan is a problem (xenophobic and prejudiced). Considering also that foods like Bananas have decayed potassium and are considered 1% of our daily radioactive exposure, according to the Independent, and that heated Nicotine is far more radioactive than most of the fruits coming from Japan and accounts for much more of our daily exposure to radioactive material daily, it’s problematic to think that Japanese food is the sole problem. Many food production sites, both here in the US and abroad, farm on lands that are naturally radioactive or artificially radioactive due to nuclear fallout from other sources, it wouldn’t matter if you avoided solely Japanese produce. Our bodies are exposed to radioactive material everyday. Low doses of radiation won’t harm us.
The Japanese make some of the best products in the world. Now, I have to figure out a way to grow a $471.00 peach and grow at least 10,000 of them every year.
Show something that has ever died from a nuclear power plant dumping tritiated water into the ocean. All nuclear power plants in the world do the same without fanfare. Your nonsense is not impressive.

Well this comment thread turned lol
Hemp sucks up nuclear maybe they need lots of hemp
Fukushima... the gift that will keep on giving for a long time to come
He said $471 for a freaking peach?!?😳🤯
This si the type of work vice should do not lesbian dance theory crap
There's room for both
using lead as an additive to wine used to make it taste extra sweet. so i'm sure it's fine. totally. there will be no problems. anywhere. ever. from anything.
The farm is absolutely beautiful, but I am stunned that anyone is allowed to grow food to sell and even more shocked anyone would be willing to buy it. If the air, water and soil is fine then why has no one moved back?
The government won't let some people back, but research has shown that no one should have been kept from their homes in the first place.
I don't even like peaches . . .
You'd have to PAY ME to eat one.
Me too
Have you all had a good peach? It depends where you get them. For the most part, in America they’re bad. Countries closer to the equator seem to have the good ones
@@elchucapablas idk about that, I tried some peaches from the Niagara Region of Canada and they were really tasty, comparable to Japan's more expensive peaches.
No way that whole place is not contaminated,, Fukushima is still leaking radiation into the earth. Fact!
@@joegaskill8742 it's far enough from the reactor that it's not contaminated. Remember Fukushima is the name of the prefecture, which is like a u.s states. Fukushima is not the name of the plant
Perhaps this is the greatest lesson from Fukushima: nuclear has become safe. It's no longer a threat and the green movement should stop treating it like a bomb. Power plants are safe, even the food is safe. If we learn how to store nuclear waste safely, we can easily provide clean energy and avoid fossil fuels until nuclear fusion is achieved.
At least this time the writer mentioned that it was the earthquake that killed 15,000 people and not the meltdown
They are expensive, because he fly’s with each peach to your house🤨
Omg the countryside sound peaceful, it reminded me of my childhood
fantastic short documentary
It's been 10 years!? I was in highschool then.
Apple brand: we are costliest product here!
These Japanese Peach: Hold my beer!
Saki?
*I'd rather eat that than live in DC...* 😒
NCR sharecroppers sure are getting creative nowadays.
And this is the origin story of the Cannabis strain “ Radioactive “...
No, hemp actually cleans the soil of nuclear waste.. this is done in cherynobl.
@@Derty_the_grower yes I am aware of that but this isn’t that, this is the origin story of the killer strain called Radioactive. 🤷♂️😂
@Chimino Pulverman hemp leaches contaminants from the soil. It is a phyto-remediative plant.
@Jason Tempel you sure you ain't smoking it bro?
@Jason Tempel ight either you hella not right up stairs or you on some hard-core drugs right now im laughin my ass off lol
Finally real content on vice and not political bullshit
A whole different perspective from "Toxic Pigs of Fukushima," it goes into the people or farmers who have returned and are living there.
The idea of eating food grown near the nuclear plant scares me
Then don't eat food anywhere in the world. Coal ash is more radioactive than nuclear waste.
@Pink Harlequin Doesn't look like you can kick your way out of a paper bag. Now show any unsafe food to eat due to Fukushima radiation.
I’ve had the privilege to teach song and dance in Fukushima, and I can confirm, despite the immense pain that was felt in this country, their is still immense resilience, character, and grace in everyone you meet there. It is unfortunate however, that people in northern Japan, especially women. Still face discrimination because of stigma regarding their ability to have healthy babies. If you ever have the chance to visit, consider yourself lucky, as it really is one of the most beautiful places on planet earth. Visually and spiritually. I miss it.
Even after that I would still be scared of eating that
Who in Japan goes to their local department store and buys 5 peaches for $660?
I went through the Tokyo airport after the tsunami in March

These people should be commended for being pioneers of living and surviving in a radiated zone. They show that humanity could still exist in a post-nuclear war world.
Not really. New studies have shown everyone should have returned to their homes as soon as they realized how low the radiation actually was.
@Pink Harlequin There you go: ua-cam.com/video/AoU663wq38Q/v-deo.html
$109 radioactive peaches anybody?
Likes for this 82 year old lady rocking her life!
Wow they have a lot of radiation still.
Next year when the water is released we all have alot of radiation...
@@darkbozo11 no one seems to care tthat they are going to release tons of radiated toxic water. It will be in allllll of the food we eat.
@@charleskim432 No it won't, and all nuclear power plants in the world release the same tritiated water.
Man those cicadas sound is very distinct
FBC14 algorithm is my choice, i dont worry about BTC rates at all
"eat my $20,000 peach" says the man with a radioactive growth on his forehead
"eat my $20,000 peach"
*... is what **_SHE_** said ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)*
0.293 uSv/hr is basically background radiation, the Japanese really did a great job reducing the Radiation in Fukushima.

It actually never got high enough to keep people from their homes.
I am not concerned about what farmers do as it 's essential to their living, therefore drive to improve. What I'm more concerned about, as the video shown, is the government and how they are going to take care of nuclear wastes. It's been just sitting there on the ground after 10 years and what will happen when another earthquake or natural disaster strikes the area? Re-contaminate the farm lands farmers worked so hard to get rid of the stigma? For the sake of the farmers, nuclear waste needs to be better secured and stored ASAP rather than a simple barrel and tarp covers.
You can never trust the Japanese government.
A farmer but one that is very aware and precarious
Let’s be honest. Samurai mind set and stubbornness isn’t going to change the fact that your in a radiated zone some 40 times the reading of Chernobyl.
Wow, those are some expensive peaches!
Japanese people and the culture is so disciplined. Everything they do os done with precision and the utmost care and respect. How can anyone not lookup to this great country and it’s people. Mostly their people. My bucket list is to visit one day. One day........🙏🏼😔
Looks great on the outside, not so great on the inside which goes for most countries. Japanese culture is plagued by a toxic work culture that is leading people into social isolation and death by overwork. Then there is the beraucracy... Dear god some of the stories I have heard... The country has a lot of good things going for it, but I would never want to live there, only visit as tourist.
@@Ozzianman every country isn’t perfect. We just had a child run the United States the past 4 yrs. How bad can it get.
A disgrace to this world Japan in his government And the people don't stand up to it I have no idea what world you live in. Lala land
In a Million years everything will be just fine.
Bwahahahahaha!
It's better for the _H.S.S._ to perish BEFORE that.
70,000 for a piece of fruit? What is this, the forbidden fruit?
"Japanese agriculture is about making the highest quality produce in the world" - I'd say this sentiment can be applied to everything the Japanese create. The level of ambition from Japan is truly inspiring.
They should plant sunflowers all around the worst affected areas and just give it maybe 5yrs to lower those places so people can farm again.
10 years? WHAT? ALREADY???
Can't believe people still live there.
They have a life expectancy longer than you!
Okay, never eating rice from Japan again. Hope it's clearly labelled.
The rice from Fukushima is tested to standards 10X more stringent than the EU and 15X over the US. Your ignorance has you eating the wrong food for reasons you don't understand.
@@danadurnfordkevinblanchdebunk Never eaten Japanese rice in my life 🤷♂️ I feel like you've missed the point, Dr. Eisenstein.
@@JizzMasterTheZeroth Your "point" was you think that food from Fukushima is overly radioactive somehow, and of course that is very ignorant and just plain wrong.
Peach growing is an extremely lucrative business.
wtf a single peach costs over a $100? That must be the best fk'ing peaches in the world.
AWESOME !!!
I am pretty sure those peaches are worth the money. Japanese agri is considered to be of the highest quality standard. So much so that restaurants all over the world have them imported.
Nice video! What about FBC14 algorithm review?
Never forget the 20,000 lives taken from us 10 years ago 😔🙏
But none from radiation...
Yeah, i'm good on that produce
Lol you do realize that everything has some form of radiation in it? Bananas for example are naturally radioactive. Microwaves are radioactive. And given our globalized economy, it’s very likely we’ve been eating this produce without knowledge.
@@DejaunWright your stated facts are the more reason to avoid these as much as possible?
@@Skfkf1393a To avoid the naturally radioactive foods or the Japanese foods?
@@DejaunWright Japanese food. Besides the fact that your claim about Microwave radiation is incorrect, if we are already being exposed to naturally occurring radiation that’s unavoidable, does it not make sense to limit unnecessary exposures where ever we can i.e. eating produce from Japan.
@@Skfkf1393a Well to think that all Japanese food entirely is inherently radioactive just because of a radiation problem in ONE area of Japan is a problem (xenophobic and prejudiced). Considering also that foods like Bananas have decayed potassium and are considered 1% of our daily radioactive exposure, according to the Independent, and that heated Nicotine is far more radioactive than most of the fruits coming from Japan and accounts for much more of our daily exposure to radioactive material daily, it’s problematic to think that Japanese food is the sole problem. Many food production sites, both here in the US and abroad, farm on lands that are naturally radioactive or artificially radioactive due to nuclear fallout from other sources, it wouldn’t matter if you avoided solely Japanese produce.
Our bodies are exposed to radioactive material everyday. Low doses of radiation won’t harm us.
The Japanese make some of the best products in the world. Now, I have to figure out a way to grow a $471.00 peach and grow at least 10,000 of them every year.
Who tf pays 20k$ for a peach?! Not that 113$ is reasonable.
I hear if you eat those fruits you'll get powers there mutated that's why there are expensive i mean who doesn't want to become a ninja turtle?
Jonk???
try growing cannabis there, and see how it affects the yield :D
You ll get the power of cancer
Dang it I came here to see three eyed fish
What authority is suggesting they release it into the water?! We really can't groupfund another few containers?
All countries with nuclear power plants do the same, only they release it without the world watching them.
This man's living the dream. Releasing nuclear waste into the oceans is exactly how everything on earth dies.
Show something that has ever died from a nuclear power plant dumping tritiated water into the ocean. All nuclear power plants in the world do the same without fanfare. Your nonsense is not impressive.
Did he say $20,000 dollars for a peach? Difficult to hear exactly what was said... anyone know?
20,000 yen for a peach, or around 200 U.S dollars I think, it's still crazy.
