samandfee 1 Posted March 6, 2013 Share Posted March 6, 2013 Hi again guys Travelling to Morioka on the Tohoku shikansen are you likely to pass within the exclusion zone, that has been set up for effects against radiation from Fukishima Daichi power station. Regards Link to post Share on other sites
Saitaman 1 Posted March 6, 2013 Share Posted March 6, 2013 I would take a wild guess that a main operating train line does not go through an exclusion zone. Link to post Share on other sites
samandfee 1 Posted March 6, 2013 Author Share Posted March 6, 2013 OOOPss ...........Well by that i meant not total exclusion ...but dont stay too long zone.....is it 20k's zone ...or the 50k's zone ...or the 80k's zone .........it must be close to one of them as it passes through Sendai i believe.

Saitaman 1 Posted March 6, 2013 Share Posted March 6, 2013 Sendai is over 100km to the north of Fukushima Daiichi. The Shinkansen line to the west of Fukushima Daiichi is about 70km by road, closer as those straight flying birds fly. Link to post Share on other sites
Tubby Beaver 209 Posted March 6, 2013 Share Posted March 6, 2013 Actually it passes right through the compound. It stops for a good 2 hours to allow tourists to walk around and take pictures. If you see any flying bits of green goo....duck Link to post Share on other sites

Tubby Beaver 209 Posted March 7, 2013 Share Posted March 7, 2013 Ohh....boo hoo! I'm just crying into my pillow!! Think about it.....would they continue to run a main train if there was a danger to passengers? Schoolgirl error Link to post Share on other sites
Metabo Oyaji 71 Posted March 7, 2013 Share Posted March 7, 2013 samandfee, the Tohoku shinkansen passes only through towns were people are regularly living, outside the exclusion zone. There are some areas on the train line in northern Tochigi, Fukushima, and southern Miyagi with radiation levels a bit elevated, but you'd get more exposure on the plane ride to Japan. I drive through those areas fairly regularly myself with no concern, for whatever that may be worth. Link to post Share on other sites
