Hi Luuk,

Thanks for that interesting report! The big crystal is beautiful! :)

Thanks for comments! Martin, the closest distance to the power plant is about 2km, if I remember that correct. I even visited directly the power plant because I could participate on a workshop. But taking photos was not allowed and I don't want to write too much about it. Not because I saw a secret,...

@Jonathan I would also not buy a used HPGe detector for thousands of Euros if I don't know the condition and I even haven't seen so many for sale on Ebay, at least not a complete one. Only separate parts like cables or NIM modules and even they were expensive. It was just a lucky chance for me to ge...

I also found an old like abandoned temple that was in the forest on a hill and I went upstairs some old crooked stairs. It was very quiet here and somehow beautiful. Here I took a sample of the soil to analyze at home. Dose rate of the sample is just about 0,1µSv/h, but with impulse probe for beta r...

I don’t exactly remember where I walked. I walked many kilometers besides main roads and also on very small gravel roads. The whole area was more or less empty and partly abandoned. There were just few houses and villages. As I walked more the small roads, I saw some abandoned houses and cars, again...

Nice report Janni. We could organise a forum group tour next time :) As you said in the other thread, your photos are familiar to me....except for the green cookie! Massimo I would appreciate a forum group tour :-) Here is the second part of my report: So as I stayed some days in that area, I also ...

Thanks for nice comments! Yes, it is a raw egg and I had to ask how to eat it. So the solution is: there is meat and a soup with vegetables in the cooking pot in the right top of the picture. Under this pot there is a flame and I should wait until the flame is finished, so then the meat is cooked. T...

Hi Luuk,
Thanks also from me for this nice and detailed report! It was very interesting to read and see the progress and how this nice detector looked like new in the end!

P5231839.JPG P5231855.JPG In the end of the tour be visited the Tepco information center that shows several things around the accident. How it happened, what steps they did, equipment like robots and personal protection… Before in this building was the accident information center it was something l...

After the fish farm we drove to a hill where on top there was a hospital. That was still in the red zone and one of the the closest points to the power plant, that could be seen from that hill with all the cranes and behind it the coast. We looked a bit around the abandoned hospital and then continu...
