This is a re-upload from my old channel.
This video is a combination of two different video segments to show a contrast in attitudes towards the radiation safety standards for food between Belarus and Japan. 

The first one is from a Swiss TSI TV program entitled "Ten Years after the Chernobyl Accident"(1998), broadcasted on Japan's NHK BS1 in an unidentified year. A scientist speaking in the segment is late Dr. Vassilli Nesterenko, a physicist from Belarus, who made tremendous efforts on the consequences of the Chernobyl catastrophe. 

Please also note that even children who lived more than 200km away from the Chernobyl plant suffered from terrible health problems. 

The second segment is from a NHK Fukushima's local news program called "HamaNaka Aizu Today" aired on February 16, 2012, reporting the new radiation safety standards for food that will become effective in April.
