if google can drive a car through there then it isnt that dangerous! To be fair its mostly fall out which will have long been washed off by the weather. Youd have to have them professionally cleaned to make sure no nasty build up of radiactive dirt anywhere.

Some seem to have been raided for bits already!

It would be interesting to find out what precautions the Google cars and the drivers took before they went there. I am suprised the Japanese government allowed them to do it.
