In Fukushima Prefecture the local government has been actively
campaigning for people to stay put or return to their home ground. In
the other prefectures, the reality of radioactive contamination has
become clear, there are also people thinking seriously
about recuperation and evacuation. For that participation from
Fukushima was reduced. </span></span></span><br />

by the method using hot stones, and also did health checks on all

ways to boost the immune system and actively protect oneself from the

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span dir="ltr">I think this experience with the bath was felt as a meaningful lesson in life.</span></span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span dir="ltr">
On the other hand, elder children eagerly helped take care of small
children, or helped them do dishes after meals, naturally bonding like a
big family. </span></span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span dir="ltr">In previous camps, we had meetings to a fixed times in morning and
evening and children wrote their own thoughts of the day, but this time
we had so many toddlers, the meetings were irregular and informal.</span></span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span dir="ltr">At one such meeting in the evening, people talked about themselves
and why they had joined this recuperation program. One mother described
how she felt alone in suffering with her worries about radiation,
another had evacuated with her children to Yonezawa,
Yamagata Prefecture from Fukushima, while others described worries about
their children's ill-health. </span></span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span dir="ltr">At this meeting, we heard people speak
their true hearts on nuclear power and radiation.</span></span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span dir="ltr">
</span></span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span dir="ltr">Actually, one of the purposes of this camp is to face the reality
of what radioactivity is, and the best ways of learning how to live with
it, and accepting people's different responses. But it will surely
take time for such mothers wrestling with such
issues in their own hearts to develop the courage and strength to live
by their own lights.</span></span></span><br />

tears came for the pain of allowing children to return to a dark place

<br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span dir="ltr">I felt strongly the government should admit the "right of

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span dir="ltr">We will do it, though there are certainly many problems in
developing a management structure for this new organization. How to
manage money for the next camp and continue the program is always a

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br />The 13-day camp ended successfully and without mishap on April 5.</span><br />

again we were supported from every region. We were able to peacefully
surround the table with up to 30 participants at once. In this manner
we achieved a "small but pleasant home."<br />Thank you so very much for supporting us.<br /><br /> </span><span style="clear: left; float: left; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;">This time round, the amount of work was sometimes more than the staff could easily handle by themselves.<br /><br />But
thanks to the cooperation of the mothers who participated with their
small children, I think that we had a good and enriching camp program. I
felt that we were like one big family, with every adult treating every
child as they would their own.</span><br />
<span style="clear: left; float: left; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><a href="http://saponet-sado.img.jugem.jp/20130406_518003.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img alt="DSC_0477.jpg" border="0" class="pict" height="213" src="http://saponet-sado.img.jugem.jp/20130406_518003.jpg" width="320" /></a><br />This was now the fifth time that
we organized this kind of recuperation camp. However, I am still amazed
when I see people who don't know each other previously become one big
family in a moment.<br /><br />In such a camp there are also people who
support us from afar in manifold ways. I feel like these connections
transcend time and place.<br /><br />I feel that the powers of life generate
an enormous energy and spirit, which shines brightly on all involved.
With such spirit, I think we can survive anything that comes our way. I
certainly felt so at that moment.</span><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Although there were many bouts
of ill health among the participants, the mothers participating were
able to share a lot of their wisdom about such things also.<br /><br />That 's one of the best aspects of recuperation camping.<br /><br />I
think that looking forward, we would like to continue providing such a
space, while extending its example not only to Fukushima but to every
other region.<br /><br /> </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">However, because Sado is an island, keeping adequate field </span><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">staffing is always a challenge.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"></span><br />
<a href="http://saponet-sado.img.jugem.jp/20130406_517997.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="DSC_0448.jpg" border="0" class="pict" height="213" src="http://saponet-sado.img.jugem.jp/20130406_517997.jpg" width="320" /></a><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br />Then
again, there's of course also a financial aspect to this problem.
Unfortunately, cooperation from the Japanese Government and Tepco are
not forthcoming.<br /><br />I'm thinking towards the upcoming camp in the summer and have plans to attempt to recruit some staff from the mainland also. <br /><br />We will let you know when the details of the next camp are set. <br />The summercamp will be held from Saturday, July 27 to Saturday August 24.<br /><br />Now
that another session has finished, we thank everyone concerned with
this camp's success for their continuing support, and extend our thanks
to all participants for sharing in this special time and place. - Tomoyo Harada</span></div>

<span style="font-size: small; font-weight: normal;"><a href="http://fukushimarockland.blogspot.com/2013/04/message-from-director-of-ryozen.html">English is here, </a></span></h3>
<h3>
<span style="font-size: small; font-weight: normal;">福島に想いを寄せてくださるアメリカの皆様へ </span></h3>
<span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: small; font-weight: normal;">
</span>
<br />
<h4>
<span style="font-size: small; font-weight: normal;">● わたしと家族、福島の人のこと </span></h4>
<span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: small; font-weight: normal;"> 私の名前は関久雄です。福島県の霊山町という山間の町で自然体験のNPOで働いています。
</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small; font-weight: normal;"> いま、福島では原発事故で自然体験活動はできなくなりました。チェルノブイリでは避難、移住させられた放射線量の値の所に住んでいます。よく、
なぜ避難しないのか?と聞かれます。国も県も避難の権利を認めないので多くの人は福島に留め置かれています。仕事や生活の補償がないとなかなか出られない
のです。それでも、私の妻と14歳の息子は1年たってようやく山形県の米沢に昨年の三月に自主避難しました。事故からまもなく2年になろうとしています。
行政は家の回りの除染をやって警戒地域を解除し福島への帰還を求めています。しかし、多くの子どもの甲状腺に異常な「しこり」や「のう胞」が見つかるなど
不安はぬぐい切れてません。私の娘(17)も避難をしていたにも関わらずのう胞が見つかりA2と診
</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small; font-weight: normal;"> 断されました。福島市の子どもの43%に見つかっています。残る人、出る人、放射能の安全、危険をめぐって意見の対立が生まれ悩ましい現状ですが、数年経てばチェルノブイリのときのように恐ろしい結果が出るかもしれません。 </span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: small; font-weight: normal;">
</span>
<br />
<h4>
<span style="font-size: small; font-weight: normal;">● 保養事業のこと、国の政策のこと </span></h4>
<span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: small; font-weight: normal;"> そんな中、日本各地の市民が中心となって避難や保養のサポートが始まりました。私のNPOでも2011年から佐渡島において保養事業をやってき
ました。これまで、他の地域への保養の送り出しも含めて13回、約200人ほどの人を保養に送り出すことができました。残念ながら、保養のサポートを申し
出てくださるところは期間が短いものが多く、できれば1ケ以上の保養を行いたいのですが、予算や学校の休みの関係で実現できていません。福島は今も放射能
が空気中に漂っていて、0ベクレルの大根を切干にして外で干していたところ3000ベクレルになったということがあります。放射能から子どもを守るために
保養に出し、のびのびと活動し、そしてそこから避難につなげる活動は意味があると考えています。こ
</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small; font-weight: normal;"> れらは本当は国がやることです。しかし、昨年の12月にここ、福島県でIAEAと国が主催して「原子力の安全に関する世界閣僚会議」を開催し、
避難する必要はない、これからも安全な原発を推進していくと世界に発信しました。私たちはとうてい認めることが出来ずに抗議行動を行ないました。しかし、
状況は変わりませんでした。 </span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: small; font-weight: normal;">
</span>
<br />
<h4>
<span style="font-size: small; font-weight: normal;">● どんな社会で暮らしたいかのビジョン </span></h4>
<span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: small; font-weight: normal;"> 私たちは自分と子どもたちを守るために様々な活動を行っています。佐渡島は幸いにそれほど汚染されていない地域です。そこで保養で体を休め、なぜ原発事故が起きたのかを考え、私たちはどんな社会に暮らしていきたいのかを考えることもこのキャンプで行なっています。
</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small; font-weight: normal;"> いま、大切なのはビジョンです。人と人、人と自然がともに生きられる社会にすることを学ぶ学校もいずれ作っていきたいと思っています。
</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small; font-weight: normal;"> 今、日本の経済は苦しいのですが、その景気を上回るために日本の経済を優先した政策を取り、原発を再稼動させ、外国に原発を売り込もうという道
に日本は進もうとしています。そのために福島の人達、多くの被爆した人達は棄民化され、見捨てられようとしています。これまでの日本は本来の助け合う心や
多くの美徳を持っていましたが、いまはそれを捨てて、「格差社会のどこが悪い」と言わんばかりの道を進んでいます。失業したとたんにホームレスになる社
会、それを、「個人の責任」とする社会、文明のあり方はおかしい。その結果が、「福島第一原発事故」を引き起こしました。原発事故で、私達はどのような社
会でどう生きたいのかが問われ、次の社会のビジョンづくりが求められているのです。 </span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: small; font-weight: normal;">
</span>
<br />
<h4>
<span style="font-size: small; font-weight: normal;">● 支援のお願い </span></h4>
<h4>
<span style="font-size: small;">
<span style="font-weight: normal;"> </span></span></h4>
<span style="font-size: small; font-weight: normal;"> 私は福島原発4号機のことも含め、次の危機が迫っていることを感じています。本当ならばすぐにでも家族と福島の子どもたちを安全な所に逃がした
い、でも、それができないでいるのです。生活が補償されなければ福島の中で、必死になって放射能の少ない食べ物を探し、マスクをつけ、自然医学で免疫力を
高める、子どもたちを一時的でも保養にだすことをやり続けなければなりません。佐渡保養キャンプはその一つの活動なのです。 </span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: small; font-weight: normal;"> どうかできるところでかまいません、フクシマを助けてください。最後に私が書いた「うらやましい」という詩を送ります。福島で暮らさざるを得ない心情を綴りました。 </span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: small; font-weight: normal;"> 私のメッセージを聞いてくださりありがとうございました。 </span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">-----------</span><br />
<h4>
<span style="font-size: small; font-weight: normal;">「うらやましい」 関 久雄 </span></h4>
<span style="font-size: small; font-weight: normal;">
</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small; font-weight: normal;">
</span>
<span style="font-size: small; font-weight: normal;">私はみなさんがうらやましいです。 </span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: small; font-weight: normal;">マスクをつけずに空気を吸えることが
</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small; font-weight: normal;">
</span>
<span style="font-size: small; font-weight: normal;">私はうらやましいです </span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: small; font-weight: normal;">家族や友人や地域の人と別れずに暮らせることが
</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small; font-weight: normal;">
</span>
<span style="font-size: small; font-weight: normal;">私はうらやましいです </span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: small; font-weight: normal;">普通に野菜や魚、お米が食べられ、水が蛇口から飲めることが
</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small; font-weight: normal;">山や川で遊び、グランドをかけ回り、虫や犬や草や木にふれることができる </span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: small; font-weight: normal;">春は山菜をいただき、冬には薪で暖をとる。 落ち葉や藁でたい肥をつくり
</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small; font-weight: normal;">、自然と共に暮らしていける 「当たり前の暮らし」がうらやましい </span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: small; font-weight: normal;">
</span>
<span style="font-size: small; font-weight: normal;">私はみなさんがうらやましいです。 </span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: small; font-weight: normal;">子どもをたった一人で見知らぬ土地に送りださなくてもいいことが
</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small; font-weight: normal;">
</span>
<span style="font-size: small; font-weight: normal;">避難をめぐって、「そんなことやっこどねえ!」と言い争い、 </span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: small; font-weight: normal;">家族がばらばらになることがないこと、家族、友だち、ふるさとを捨てなくてもいい暮らしのあることが
</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small; font-weight: normal;">
</span>
<span style="font-size: small; font-weight: normal;">でも、うらやましがっていても詮ないことです </span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: small; font-weight: normal;">私と私の家族はそんな道を進んでいくしかありません。
</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small; font-weight: normal;">
</span>
<span style="font-size: small; font-weight: normal;">どうか、できるところでかまいません。福島を助けてください </span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: small; font-weight: normal;">
</span>
<span style="font-size: small; font-weight: normal;">そして、原発を止める動きに立ち上がってください </span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: small; font-weight: normal;">なぜなら、この日本列島に暮らす限り震災は免れません </span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: small; font-weight: normal;">そして原発事故に備えてください </span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: small; font-weight: normal;">家具は倒れないように、ガソリンや水、食料、合羽を用意してください </span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: small; font-weight: normal;">どこに逃げたらいいかを考え、線量計を用意してください。 </span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: small; font-weight: normal;">必ず地震は起きます。10年後かもしれないし明日かもしれません </span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: small; font-weight: normal;">誰の上にも放射能は降ってきます。だから支えあう仲間とつながってください </span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: small; font-weight: normal;">あなたとあなたにつながるすべての人を守るために、 </span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: small; font-weight: normal;">福島の教訓を生かしてください。
</span><br />

<span style="line-height: 1.538em;">THOMASTON
— Popular Cuban music dance band Primo Cubano will return to Billy's
Tavern in Thomaston on Saturday, March 23, for a benefit night of
dancing for Fukushima's Sado Island Respite Camp in Japan. The event is
being organized by the Midcoast Maine Fukushima Awareness Group, a local
group of concerned citizens.</span><br />
The camp, an ongoing project of Fukushima educator Hsiao Seki,
provides children of Fukushima Prefecture a respite from the continuous
radiation exposure in their homes and surroundings since the disaster at
the Daiichi nuclear facility in March 2011. Originally established as
the Ryozen-Satoyama School, it is a nature camp for city children to
experience the outdoors. After the meltdown at the nuclear power plant,
the camp moved to Sado Island and the vision changed to provide a place
for Fukushima children to go to help their bodies recover from the
ongoing radiation exposure. The Fukushima Daiichi nuclear disaster was a
series of equipment failures, nuclear meltdowns, and releases of
radioactive materials at the Fukushima Nuclear Power Plant, following
the Tōhoku earthquake and tsunami on March 11, 2011. It is the largest
nuclear disaster since the Chernobyl disaster of 1986, and only the
second disaster (along with Chernobyl) to measure Level 7 on the
International Nuclear Event Scale.<br />
<br />
<span style="line-height: 1.538em;">Primo Cubano plays traditional
and contemporary Cuban music, incorporating the popular "son" style that
moved out of Cuba in the late 1990s and is a primary contributor to the
blend of Latin styles today known as salsa. The band of four Maine
musicians is known to pack dance halls throughout New England and is
co-sponsoring the benefit dance with the Midcoast Peace and Justice
Group, the Dancing 4 Fun Saturday Dance Group and Billy's Tavern.</span><br />
<br />
A showing of the film <i>Fukushima, Never Again</i> will precede
the dance event on Thursday, March 21, at 6:30 p.m. at Rockland Public
Library. More information about the situation in Fukushima will also be
available at the dance.<br />
<br />
<span style="line-height: 1.538em;">The event will run from 8:30 p.m. to 11:30 p.m., and there is a suggested donation at the door of $10. </span><span style="line-height: 1.538em;">Billy's will close its kitchen early in order to clear the decks for dancing.</span><br />
<br />
Billy's Tavern is located at the corner of Beechwood and Starr
Streets, behind the downtown business block, in Thomaston. For more
information, or to volunteer or to make a contribution, call 594-1478.

big thank-you to Primo Cubano for playing, Billy's Tavern for hosting
and Midcoast Dancing 4 Fun for organizing the benefit Dancing for
Fukushima event on Saturday night, March 23, and to all the community
members who attended and donated. It was a fabulous, spirited evening.
The band was wonderful. Even those who don't normally dance couldn't
help moving to the happy Latin rhythms. <br /><br />During this second
anniversary of the tsunami and nuclear disaster in Fukushima, the dance
raised $1,383 to help support a respite camp/recuperation program on
Sado Island, Japan, for children of Fukushima who are living with
continual radiation exposure. At the dance, many origami cranes,
traditional Japanese symbols of healing, were given to attendees. They
were made by Mie Athearn of Rockland, whose family lives in Fukushima.
Mie stated, "The dance event was amazing. I didn't think so many people
would be coming and they all enjoyed." She wants to say thank-you to all
who came and who made this event happen. Anyone interested in finding
out more about the work at Sado Island is encouraged to visit
www.hettsuisado.blogspot.com or call 594-1478.<br /><br /><i>Norma Athearn</i>, Rockland</span></td></tr>

<br />
reprieve
from radiation exposure. The Sado Island Respite Camp is an ongoing
project of educator Hsiao Seki. You can learn more about the situation
and efforts in Fukushima by attending the showing of the film
“Fukushima, Never Again” on Thursday, March 21st at the Rockland Public
Library. There will also be information available at the dance benefit
here at Billy’s on Saturday, March 23rd with Primo Cubano.<br />
Primo Cubano cranks out the best traditional and contemporary Cuban
music in all of coastal Maine. They are one of our favorite bands to
have play at the tavern and they get the whole place moving and grooving
to their authentic Maine-made Cuban rhythms.<br />
Suggested donation for this event is $10 at the door. The kitchen
will be closing early (like 6pm) so we can clear all the tables this
time and make way for the dancing. And dancing for a great cause at
that!<br />
We’d like to thank <a href="http://www.dancing4fun.org/fukushima_benefit.html" title="midcoast dancing for fun">Midcoast Dancing4Fun</a> for allowing us to be part of this project and to our co-sponsors, <a href="http://midcoastpeaceandjustice.org/" title="midcoast peace and justice league">Midcoast Peace & Justice League</a>, <a href="http://wcepublishing.com/" title="wce publishing">wcePublishing</a>, and of course, Primo Cubano for providing another exciting evening of dancing to exhaustion for such a great cause.<br />

<span style="color: black; font-family: TIMES NEW ROMAN, TIMES, SERIF; font-size: x-small;">The
band Primo Cubano will return to Billy's Tavern, behind the business
block in Thomaston, on Saturday, March 23, from 8:30 to 11:30 p.m. for a
night of dancing to benefit Sado Island Respite Camp in Fukushima,
Japan; suggested donation at the door is $10. Primo Cubano plays
traditional and contemporary Cuban music, much in the "son" tradition
that later contributed to the salsa style. Billy's will close its
kitchen early in order to clear the decks for dancing.<br /><br />Sado
Island Respite Camp, a nature camp for city children to experience the
outdoors, is an ongoing project of Fukushima educator Hsiao Seki. Since
the earthquake- and tsunami-prompted disaster at the Daiichi nuclear
facility in March 2011, the camp provides children of Fukushima
Prefecture a respite from radiation exposure. <br /><br />The dance will be
preceded by a showing of the film "Fukushima, Never Again" on Thursday,
March 21, at 6:30 p.m. at Rockland Public Library. <br /><br />More
information about the situation in Fukushima will be available at the
dance. The dance has been organized by the Midcoast Maine Fukushima
Awareness Group and cosponsored by the Midcoast Peace and Justice Group,
the Dancing 4 Fun Saturday Dance Group, Billy's Tavern and Primo
Cubano. For more information, to volunteer or to make a contribution,
call 594-1478. <br /><br />For details about the respite/recuperation project, visit hettsuisado.blogspot.com.</span>

Fukushima Fund for Saving Children from Radiation</h4>
<div class="move_up_less" style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="content" style="text-align: center;">
Children of Fukushima are suffering from
radiation contamination from the meltdown at the Fukushima-Daiichi
nuclear power plant in 2011.
The Ryozen–Satoyama camp in Fukushima was established with a vision of
giving children a chance to experience nature and the outdoors.</div>
<div class="content" style="text-align: center;">
Because of the nuclear disaster the camp
has moved to Sado Island, off the west coast of Japan, with the goal of
giving children of Fukushima
a chance to help their bodies recover from continuous radiation
exposure.</div>
<div class="content" style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="content" style="text-align: center;">
Funds are greatly needed for renovation
of the camp at the new site, for staffing, transportation, food,
utilities, and scholarship aid for the
children to attend.</div>
<div class="content" style="text-align: center;">
Your donation will support the respite camp/recuperation center for Fukushima children on Sado Island, Japan.</div>
<div class="content" style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="content" style="text-align: center;">

<b>Co-Sponsored with Midcoast Peace & Justice Group. </b><i>Fukushima Never Again</i>
includes interviews with the mothers of Fukushima, nuclear power
experts and trade unionists. The residents and citizens of the area were
forced to buy their own geiger counters and radiation dosimeters in
order to test their communities to find out if they were in danger. When
the government said soil in children’s school grounds was safe and
residents discovered it was contaminated, both the government and TEPCO
(Tokyo Electric Power Company) refused to remove the soil from school
grounds.<br />
<i>Fukushima Never Again</i> tells the story of what
happened in the aftermath of the earthquake and tsunami that led to the
Fukushima nuclear power plant meltdowns in northeast Japan in March of
2011 and provides an alternate narrative to the story-line that “the
Fukushima disaster is over”. <br />

He established the Ryozen-Satoyama camp in Fukushima with a vision of
giving children a chance to experience nature and the outdoors. After
the nuclear disaster of March 2011 with the meltdown at the Fukushima

Seki's vision now is to provide a place to give Fukushima children a
chance to help their bodies recover from continuous radiation exposure.
