Well the reports are from the UN I read back a couple of months, were that radiation were roughly double than what was originally reported. Its definitely far worse than what people thought. I traveled to Tokyo like last month, it wasn't a real big deal and life at least in the areas not affected have been moving right along, but you do see telecasts about people that are still affected and its heart wrenching. Most can't move back to areas they used to live and they are living in like government shacks, but they are making due....
Sad but still a tough time in Japan. Truthfully most parts that come out of Japan that are used are from Osaka or Tokyo auctions which chop cars up and sell them to the US. Not much stuff up North, so parts are pretty much radiation free.
