Tokyo Summer Olympic Games 2020 News

Chernobyl is nothing compared to this. It is still leaking a lot of radioactive material into sea every day, for 6 years. I mean, it's not crazy dangerous as it sounds, but it's still going on.

 

It's fascinating how this is kept outside of media.

The problem in Fukushima continue.......they have a big hole with a powerfull radiation and wild pig with big radiation, the japanese are hunting them but there are too much......my condolences to the players of both sport if they play there.

Sort of pronouncing them dead already is probably a bit of an overreaction

Let's remember that it's pretty far away from the plant itself, and most of the radiation is spilled out into the ocean (not that it's not a huge problem). The radiation at the stadium isn't really that high from what I see, and there isn't really any problems being there for a short period of time.

That doesn't mean that I support the idea, as I really think it's way too gimmicky!
