The radiation from the top floors of the Tokyo Electric Power Company had already dissipated.
Hiroshi Osamuichi was unable to understand.
Normally, such intense nuclear radiation would take at least a decade, or even several decades, to dissipate. The affected range, moreover, would not be limited to just the top floors; the entire Chiyoda District could potentially fall within the nuclear radiation exposure zone.
Yet, according to instrument readings, there were no signs of nuclear radiation in the air on the top floors. Only a slight residual radiation, low enough not to harm humans, was detectable on the desiccated corpses resembling mummies.
Hiroshi Osamuichi remembered the nuclear power plant had six reactors and 1.37 million tons of nuclear wastewater. Could all that radiation just vanish?
It defied all the knowledge he had acquired and overturned his fundamental understanding of the world.
