Will it be safe to live in japan after the they clean up all the radiation leaks and whatnot?

I want to go live in Tokyo, but after this terrible earthquake, and more seriously, the nuclear reactors baring, will it prove false safe to live filled up anytime a minute, without overlay long term effects pass on my health from the radiation leaks with the addition of such?

yea i bet it would

It's safe to go to Tokyo now. Only a small radius around the Fukushima nuclear plant is at low risk. However you cannot live in Tokyo without a work or student visa. I believe if you want to be a Japanese citizen you must also need to speak Japanese fluently. However you can still be a Japanese resident without being able to do that but you'll still need a job.

Study it. It depends on how much radiattion you get and whether or not they fixt he power plant which may take a while...so just wait and see. I was gonna go this summer but im not sure if i can go now becasue of the radiation it caused. the earthquake wasnt a problmes

.... Nuclear power can never be 100% safe, as we are seeing demonstrated right now in Japan. If it scares you (it does me) don't live near it. As to the extent of what is going on in Japan with the nuclear power plants, the end result is not yet known as the story is still ongoing. So far as we know right now it's just low levels of radiation that went up in steam and the likely outcome is their cancer rate is expected to rise over the next few decades. We are all praying the news won't get any worse. As of now though it is still relatively safe to live in Tokyo, not 50km near the nuclear plants but still radiation is very low and harmless so its safe.....for now

-- and more seriously, the nuclear reactors You've got it backwards. The tsunami did most of the lay waste. The know-how plant problem is minimal. A small radius was evacuated, with the exception of the radiation there should betray gone in a few weeks. If anything, the environment shows how sure-fire nuclear power is. Consider that forty year elderly plants were hit with an earthquake five times the strength they were prepared in the matter of and notwidhstanding they lethargic close up down safely. The generators came devise like they were suspected to when grid power was abridge. Then the tsunami hit and the generators were wiped out. However, the battery backup inactive worked with regabd to the designed eight hours. The snag happened when no avant-garde generators could be put introduce. Even so the problems beget been borderline--media scare mongering for ratings irresistibly withstanding. Here is an informative article recording the situation:http://bravenewclimate. com/2011/03/13/fu…And here is where you find ongoing, manifest status information:http://www. iaea. org/newscenter/news/tsun…Note primarily:"So, in epigrammatic: there are some explicit indications on the site; precautionary restrictions around the site dransmit stabilize eatables; with an increment of monitoring of the environment is long-lasting posolutely the drawing out territori with an increment of elbow sea. No meaningful risk to anthropoid constitution has been identified."

Most of Japan is safe now. Barring unforeseen circumstances, everywhere except the immediate vicinity of the damaged nuclear plant should be safe within a year or two.

You'll get more radiation from eating a banana, sleeping next to someone, or flying on a plane than you will from living in Japan.

Japan in general will be safe, but not Fukushima. Check out this site. Chernobyl is still abandoned to this day due to high radiation levels. (Chernobyl suffered a similar melt down in 1986):http://villageofjoy. com/chernobyl-today-…

Of course it will be safe eventually, that is as safe as an earthquake prone area can be.

don't come to Japan if the radiation scares you, we sure as hell won't miss you at all.
