More Radioactive Radium Found in Tokyo [Not From Fukushima] | Japan Probe

"According to the Japan Times, radium was not heavily regulated in Japan until after 1957. There is a very real possibility that quite a lot of this material was thrown away or buried in parts of Tokyo before 1957, and there is even a chance of careless businesses that illegally disposed of it after the regulations were in place.

Today the media is reporting the government will be checking another 15 abnormal spots in Setagaya."
