Our radiation monitoring team is now in Fukushima -

Dear friend,
Our radiation monitoring team is on the ground in Fukushima province, Japan, researching fallout from the ongoing nuclear disaster and its impact on local communities. This Greenpeace team has the best training and equipment available. Their job is to make sure local communities, and the world, have an independent source of information about radioactive contamination from the Fukushima nuclear facility disaster.
Meet Mitsu (Mitsuyasu Oda), from Greenpeace Japan. As one member of our team he's providing translation, communications and community liaison support:
Mitsu: "I joined Greenpeace because I had heard that Greenpeace Japan was doing investigative environmental research with a journalistic approach, and I had experience in the non-governmental organization community working on forest preservation.
"Some years ago, there was another big earthquake in Sendai, which stopped the Onagawa nuclear power plant, which I covered as a journalist. I am thus very conscious about the risk of nuclear power, especially linked to natural disasters. Obviously, Fukushima, I am very concerned about it, and many people in Japan are doubting what Tepco and even the government say about what is happening. I want to go see for myself what is going on there, as an NGO member, but also as a journalist."
