In the “7-Eleven” minimarkets in Japan, Fukushima rice is mixed with the other rices, to lower the contamination measuring and to facilitate its selling .
Minimarkets are open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.We do not know about the other minimarkets.

Knowing that we decided to measure ourselves the rice.
Pre-treatment of the sample
We stopped for a while trhe electric furnace.
First it is lyophilized (freeze-dried).
By freezing the sample.
During 43hours.
Water removal at high level by lyophilization.
Then into the electric furnace.
It is processed for 4 days at then 180-370 ℃.
A 7kg sample was reduced to about 550g.
After this sample was crushed, we gave it to be measured with a germanium semiconductor detector at the University of Tokyo.
The results are … to be worried about.
Measurement results
Both types of radioactive cesium have been detected: 134Cs and 137Cs. . Proving that convenience stores are selling the inexpensive rice from the disaster area.

NHK World on PBS did a piece on this years ago (yes I realize I’m replying to an old post) and the Japanese people were pretty upset about it. I have not been able to find it since. I thought that the government was going to mix, but not label it as such. Do you know anything about that? Was it just them discussing it or I possibly miss heard? Thank you.
