It is funny how the safe level of radiation in America is much higher than that for Europe.

As for everyone on here shrugging this off and making fun of the thread creator, it may not be as serious as he makes it sound to be, but at the same time there is probably something to it.

No radiation from Japan will kill anyone here, as chances are it would most likely just manifest itself in a slight increase of women miscarrying and kids being born with birth defects.
And as entertaining as it is to joke about microwaves causing cancer, they are definitely not healthy.

OP is worried about radiation and lives in state where first atomic weapon was tested.

I agree, just bringing up the topic as i hadn't seen it mentioned at all.

I fucking love my JDM SR20DET, and i love Japan as a country, i hope all ends well here...

hahahaha probably all that radiation made him paranoid of JDM radiation.

Hell yeah, I live near where it was developed too!

I see you're near where it was tested.

Im not "worried" about anything, but its def worth talking about.

If youre ever up north we should cruise though hehe.

[killer240]

gime!

wait i guess i have it already

240Jake,

While it may not be a significant concern in car parts due to the small amount of volume, it is a very real concern for everything America imports. In today's world, manufacturing is global and it is a scary thought to have radiation leakage in products. Same goes with the small traces of lead. The radiation levels pumping out at that nuclear plant are scary and there is fall out, just not in America at this time.

Thanks for bringing up the subject and hopefully there are more educated responses as it is a good topic for discussion.

Nissan does testing before shipping stuff out. Used parts, IDK.

I agree with the IDK. Keep in mind Nissan is regulated, these small market shipments aren't necessarily checked.

[yomisiu]

if it was so severe they wouldnt let anyone/anything from japan into the states.

I buy used from usa

You'd really trust a news article written by Al-Jazeera News?

Thanks man, i could not agree more.

Was hoping for some more educated responses as well, it actually looks like the most intelligent ones here came from across the pond

i did have a weird smell coming from my turbo....hmmmm

[Pinggg]

So your basically trying to tell us that were all f**k and we are gonna died soon!?!?!?!?

[Akito86]

This Thread made me laugh, Reminded me of some clown that told me all worried that: the food you bought at Nariya Market was going to double in radiation once i get it out of the Microwave. Hurry everyone Sell me your rare expensive Japan parts asap for a low low price and be Radiation free!!!

Umm, wat? Al Jazeera English is one of the better world news channel/websites around.

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.

BBC News - Japan 'unprepared' for Fukushima nuclear disaster

[drift freaq]

Oh noes I better be careful my singer is Japanese and from Tokyo she might cast radiation on me. LOL Seriously. Matej has a point about the radiation level standards here vs Europe.

As far as Japan goes, yes in fact there is a problem in areas right around Fukishima though in Tokyo? Not at this point. in parts coming here? LOL ya right. Like others have said, the major car company's would be checking there stuff and the used parts tend to come from Tokyo and more southern regions.
As far as it affecting us here? No, the radiation that did get released was in the localized regions and due to the distance of the U.S. from Japan it would have no effect on us.
