see 5:25 and 9:45 for the summary of findings!
seen in this video is a gamma spectrum, performed with a high-purity germanium detector.
in a 50 grams sample of soil (drain / gutter of streets) from the sagamihara area west of tokio (250 km from fukushima daiichi nuclear power plant), significant amounts of the synthetic caesium isotopes Cs-137 and Cs-134 were found. these manmade isotopes are from fukushima - unless there was another, yet unknown incident... meaning the contamination spread quite far.
