Stop the hysteria

I am relating a message from the people of Japan to new services around the world -- STOP THE HYSTERIA. You are causing panic amongst the foreign community in Japan by exaggerating the situation at the Fukushima #1 Nuclear Power Plant. Listen to your own nuclear experts, and get back the job of reporting on the humantarian crisis evolving in North Japan.

Mr.Daniel, You keep forcing foreign people to remain in japan but if you are so confidence about the safety of radiation there. why don't you says more logically or with scientific prove! I look at you as you are one of well know Japanese speaking TV guy in Japan so you have to say as you have to do. I feel it from you. No clear message to encourage us to stay there. as you keep showing anger only with no clear explanation.

@rose312water You think I have FORCED people to stay in Japan? Wow.

Please read the reports. Fewer than 50 people died around Chernobyl. None have died at Fukushima. It is sad what happened. But it is not a panic.

Are you still there ? if so why get out now .They will lie to you ,do you think that Tepco or the Japanese government care if you die or me for that matter. Wake up they are liars that would watch their children die for power and money.You really need to stop trusting your life to these bastards they really don't care about you.Who cares if the Japanese people dont like me i will tell it like it is and has been from day 1 FUBAR my friend Get out while you can.

@allsafe1 I can tell by your tone that you think this is all a game.

Either that, or you are 13 years old and are just learning how to type.

Grow up. People's lives and livelihoods are at stake. The situation here is no game.

Oh yes, and make sure you read ALL the historical records regarding nuclear accidents before you advise people to evacuate the whole country.

@Urdalibertine THAT statement is pure hysteria and has absolutely no basis in fact. Turn off your TV for a minute and see my blog for radiation figures updated daily for all 47 Prefectures (daniel.domos.jp). Don't listen to the pseudo-experts on the infotainment channels.

[TheDanielKahl]

@rose312water Not enough space here to write everything. Please read IAEA, WHO, and UNSCEAR reports on Chernobyl. Then compare the situation to Fukushima NPP1. They are not comparable.

Yes, we were worried for a time. There is still some danger of thyroid cancer for the children who lived near the Plant. We need to monitor them for many years. But again, there is no need to panic.

You're quite right:) I think that the lack of knowledge is causing people to misunderstand the nuclear crisis in Japan. This is what's causing meaningless concerns... I really respect you for this video=] By the way, I saw you a couple of times on NHK and NHK world. And I have a question I'd like to ask you... Can I PM you?:S （日本で生活することについての質問なんですが・・）

@marinabluesea

Sorry for being that late in writing back.

Well, no I dont have a solution for people in Japan. Some things, once done, cant be undone. The best that can be done now is deal with it, avoid being delusioned by false appeals on "there is no worry", and avoid worrying uselessly.

I understand that this way is a hard way.

I hope that mankind will now give up on nuke power for such a thing never to happen again.

I wish luck to you and all those living in and near Japan.

@motorcycleronin You should have heard the calls I received from people here who WERE panicking.

[allsafe1]

@TheDanielKahl I don't get the historical records ref. the last time we had anything similar to this was 25 years ago in the Ukraine But that turned out fine didn't it. They have a massive problem still there on controlling and containing the contamination. The truth about the scale of that event is now coming out and millions were effected. Even where i live in the UK areas have been polluted for thousands of years to come.

@allsafe1 I do not think it is a joke at all . I think it is a sad reflection of the human race that people can do this type of thing. I have nothing but praise for you and your efforts to help these people that doesn't change the fact that Tepco and the Japanese government have systematically lied and continue to do so . My comments are not trite but considered but the truth is sometimes a bitter pill.

My grammar is bad.

I mean no harm and salute you and your efforts .

Nikk.
