Sapporo or Fukuoka? Which is safer in terms of radiation?

Question:


Which has lower radiation leak levels? Which is farther from Fukushima? And which is more out of the movement path of the radiation? Answer one or all, but please choose Sapporo or Fukuoka regardless.

Answer:


Both are OK. They're both quite far. In general wind blows from east to west. Sapporo is north. Fukuoka is south.

The main ocean currents also help because there's one going down the coast from Hokkaido (where Sapporo is), north to south. So there isn't an ocean current bringing radiation from the south, where Fukushima is..

Also, another major current goes from south (where Fukuoka is) to north, not the other way around which could have potential for bringing radiation southward from Fukushima.

You're probably getting more radiation wherever you are right now than you would living in either of those places.

Anyway, if you're planning on taking a job, I'd go for Fukuoka just for the weather. I don't like cold winters. You also get to have "*** u" in the name of the place you are, which is always a good thing.
