Now, young women from Canada under the age of 20 are joining the US high school students and college students doing the cleanup volunteer work in Tohoku including Fukushima and the US decontamination businesses in dispelling the "baseless rumors" and making an appeal to the world that "Fukushima is safe" (as US Ambassador to Japan John Roos said).
NHK Kabun (culture and science division of NHK) tweets:
サッカー女子の２０歳以下のワールドカップが、来月、日本で開催されるのを前に、復興を支援しようと日本とカナダとの親善試合が福島市で開かれることになりました。
Women's World Cup Soccer [or football for European readers] under the age of 20 will be held in Japan next month. To support the recovery, a friendly match is planned between the Japanese team and the Canadian team in Fukushima City.
For reference, here's the radiation levels at parks in Fukushima City as of 7:40AM on July 5, 2012 (from this tweet) "New normal" for Fukushima City's parks nearly 16 months after the nuclear accident seems 1 microsievert/hour air radiation or higher:
The venue for the match must be the Shinobugaoka Athletic Field in central Fukushima City. The radiation level at Shinobuyama Park, about 500 meters west of the athletic field, is shown in the photo above as "1.517 microsievert/hour". The radiation level at the athletic field should be lower, because there are no trees shedding leaves on the athletic field and the city must have done some "decontamination" in November last year (I hope) when the women's Ekiden road race, also under the age of 20 event, was held in the city.
(Hmmm. As of November last year, the entrance to the athletic field was measured at 1.23 microsievert/hour... See my post here.)

make the girls eat 15 bananas an hour every hour they are there.
I can give them one to eat.
Wow whose parents are these kids to not have any awareness.. oh well
Wow, just wow. Where are these girls coming from in Canada? I would like to personally speak to whoever is organizing this in Canada. Does anyone know what province they are coming from and who is organizing this from the Canada side? Thanks.
kintaman, just look up the Canadian national youth soccer team. It's a FIFA cup event.
Most athletes do not read the news.
I hope the athletes do not mistake all the huge Geiger counters in front of stations as clocks. If Tokyo gets the Olympics, we know what that means.
Thanks. Got it:

Sick.

Pretty sure it's not just Canada. I keep hearing of other countries going to Japan to compete in sports or prepare for the Olympics or whatever.
As they say, "life goes on"... or more like, people try REALLY HARD to pretend nothing's wrong, until it's too late and they are totally screwed.
It's World Cup Soccer/Football event, so there will be a whole bunch of other countries. The Canadian team will go to Fukushima, not as a part of the World Cup tournament but as a friendly match to "help recovery". Whatever. If these girls are dumb like that, it's natural selection at work.
