Hiroshima - David Gutnick
As you have been hearing on the news, crews were confronted with more trouble in their efforts to stabilize Japan's Fukushima nuclear plant today. And Canola and Chrysanthemum greens have joined milk, spinach and drinking water on the list of foods testing with higher radioactive levels in the areas near the devastated nuclear plant.
Officials insist they do not pose a threat to human health but anger is rising among many in the affected area ... along with accusations that officials have not been forthcoming about the extent of this crisis. This is a culture where respect for authority is paramount.
The CBC's David Gutnick is in Hiroshima, Japan. A a city whose history is forever linked to radiation and radiation poisoning. He joined Anna Maria from Hiroshima.
