While the Japanese government is extending the 20 kilometer evacuation zone around the Fukushima plant over risks of long-term radiation, video journalist Tetsuo Jimbo braved the area and went within 1.5 kilometers of the facility.
Tetsuo Jimbo, CEO and editor-in-chief of the website videonews.com, went to the evacuation zone to document the dangerous levels of radiation there, telling RT that he never hesitated to go.
“There were lots of strange rumors about the place, but no one actually has gone in there! I mean being a journalist you just have to go there if it is there. So I went in. I was very cautious and I had a Geiger counter
. Actually the radiation level was surprisingly low until I got to a certain point,” Jimbo said.
