Don’t know if any of you have seen this… purportedly a reporter was allowed in the exclusion zone around Fukushima last weekend, filmed some of his wanderings including a dosimeter - dogs are left to their own, and the cattle seem a bit bewildered:

He gets to within 1.5 kilometers of Fuk-1 (the video shows Fuk-2 early on) near the end, where the radiation level is enough to get roughly a year’s average exposure in just a day - and that is with him upwind (he’s traveling by the coast and you can hear the sea breeze blowing in.)
