Wow!! this thread is certainly going to give me alarm for a long time about buying any Japanese imports of any sort (especially food) or in making any trips to anywhere between Tokyo and Sendai Japan for the next decade or longer.

http://onioni2.blogspot.com/2011/05/summary-of-detected-radioactive.htmlUsing the 20x method for converting from Bq/kg to Bq/m2 that's 0.578 million Bq/m2 for this Tokyo area soil.

http://ssfl.msfc.nasa.gov/documents/technical/Natural_Variations_of_Cesium-137.pdfAccording to page 3 the 95th percentile of some USA samples is 700 bq/kg. So this Tokyo metro number is approx. 41 times more that scenario.
35.0 bq/kg for CS-137 appears to be "normal" according to Table 2.1 which puts this Tokyo area number at about 800 times normal.

http://enenews.com/6000-bqkg-cesium-137-found-mushrooms-bulgaria-eu-wide-food-safety-alert-issued600bq/kg for CS-137 is the EU's limit for mushrooms and Chernobyl mushrooms are still getting 10x normal.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Caesium-137The half-life of CS-137 is slightly over 30 years. The Japanese are certainly going to have a long-term issue to deal with.
IMO if I or my kids lived in the Tokyo area I'd be getting the local soil tested right now. That alleged test shows that the soil is at the "temporary migration" level and over 3 times the "voluntary evacuation" level.
