On this morning’s NHK “Sunday Debate” program, Liberal Democratic Party (LDP) Secretary-General Nobuteru Ishihara stated,
“Geiger counters costing between 40,000 and 50,000 yen ($500-600) provide patchy measurements. We have to try and stop citizens from taking their own radiation measurements.”
It seems that he really doesn’t like the fact that citizens are taking their own radiation readings. Even if the figures are patchy, the measurements still tell us correctly whether the radiation level is high or low.
Ishihara stated in the Sunday discussion of NHK:
“That citizens measure here and there with cheap Geiger counters (that offer loose numerical values) has to be stopped!”
and added:
“Citizens have instruments to measure radiation and take measurements (without proper maintenance). I will stop that ”
