Sooooo...I've got an opportunity to pick up something I've been after for a while at what could be a very good price. When I inquired about it through a friend in Japan, he pointed out that the seller is in the Fukushima prefecture. He pointed out that the prefecture is the third largest in Japan, that people outside the 30km zone around the plant are supposedly living normal lives, but that he thought I should know.

To be honest, I probably fall on the slightly paranoid side as far as this sort of thing goes. Knowing that there are a lot of level (and un-level :) ) heads here, I thought I'd get some opinions.

Would you have second thoughts about picking up something at this point you knew came from the Fukushima prefecture?

You probably are being a bit paranoid, but that IS actually a good question! Never thought about that!

Is it glow in the dark? :D
It probably will do anyway.

Srsly, unless you plan on eating it, it should be okay.
But if your friend has anything to do with the 'pick-up',
you might want to ask him how he feels about it?

Health-wise I don't think there's any concern. My worry is only that it get stuck in customs if it sets off the Geiger-meter.

I would be double-y stoked to be helping someone out from Fukushima - I would pay them double.

The last thing they need are outsiders being overly paranoid. Buy it and do your part in returning their lives to normal.
