Hi … Mike

Scroll down and read some of the copy & paste info in some of the reference articles

some car dealers prefer selling highly radioactive NEW cars at dump prices, or as used cars, to unsuspecting local customers.

What about Japanese cars, (since March 11, 2011 ), that have made it over here to North America, and have not been tested before being sold here ??. News media silence on this topic as well !!.

2 — four — 6 — eight … we don’t want to radiate !!.

Have a nice non-radioactive day … : )

( if there is such a thing like that any more ??. )

Japan’s radioactive cars selling at auctions without notice ( to unsuspecting buyers )

Tuesday, November 8, 2011

(NaturalNews) Having up to 20 times the permissible level of radiation, more than 600 cars from plants near the Fukushima nuclear disaster in Japan have been retained from export. However, many dealers are still selling suspicious cars at dump prices to the domestic used car market.

Japan has a major export business that ships cars to Russia and Southeast Asia, but dealers are finding themselves stuck selling the radioactive cars in Japan. It’s a very difficult process to decontaminate the automobiles, so the cars are being sold at certain auctions where there are no restrictions. Also, the origin of these cars is getting tougher to trace since many dealers are re-registering them with their local registrations. The number of radioactive cars could be multiple times higher than previously estimated.

The by-passing of inspections doesn’t always work though, since JU Fukushima, which oversees a majority of car auctions, tests every single car and rejects any that emits over 1 microsieverts per hour. Since August, export regulations have been drastically tightened from 5.0 to 0.3 microsieverts. According to the Japan Harbor Transportation Association, as of last month at least 1% of all cars tested had failed, with some registering up to 110 microsieverts per hour.

One car that was left in a parking lot just 25 miles from the nuclear accident had over 30 microsieverts of hourly radiation before being moved. That car went to auction in Saitama, where it didn’t sell, and then was moved to another auction in Chiba. No one knows where the car is now.

Radioactive control experts say there are practical difficulties in the decontamination process, especially for the interiors of cars like the seats, carpet and dashboards. Currently, there are no guidelines for levels of radiation in used cars, and consumers in Japan are very frustrated.

Masahiro Fukushi, professor of radioactive substances control at Shuto University in Tokyo, suggests that the government should quickly establish guidelines for used cars so consumers can buy them with confidence.

Limited auto production is due to start at most plants in Japan this week, but it isn’t production and exportation that’s the problem; it’s winning back American confidence that the cars are safe.

“What you are seeing is just the tip of the iceberg,” said one car exporter to

the Asahi who refused to be identified. “If a car gives off a high radioactivity

count, it’s too much trouble to decontaminate it.

It’s better to just sell it in a Japanese car auction where there are no

restrictions.

It’s like throwing away a bad card you were dealt in poker.”

The re-registration of the Fukushima-registered cars in other prefectures will

make prospective buyers think that these are safe. Cars registered in Fukushima

were found to emit radiation of up to 110 microsieverts per hour while the safe

level is 0.3 microsieverts.
