This video is a combination of two different video segments to show a contrast in attitudes toward the radiation safety standards for food between Belarus and Japan. <br /><br />The first one is from a Swiss TSI TV program entitled "Ten Years after the Chernobyl Accident" (1998), broadcasted on Japan's NHK BS1 in an unidentified year. A scientist speaking in the segment is late Dr. Vassilli Nesterenko, a physicist from Belarus, who made tremendous efforts on the consequences of the Chernobyl catastrophe. <br /><br />Please also note that even children who lived more than 200km away from the Chernobyl plant suffered from terrible health problems. <br /><br />The second segment is from a NHK Fukushima's local news program called "HamaNaka Aizu Today" aired on February 16, 2012, reporting the new radiation safety standards for food that will become effective in April. <br /><br />The original video: http://youtu.be/JyBrDLq7A8o <br /><br />Translation and captioning by tokyobrowntabby.
