Murakami said that the Japanese mainstream media is not covering the impacts, but this information is being disseminated to Japanese people through cyberspace.

"Our food regulations are quite loose," Murakami said. "We have only spot inspections."

He called on Americans to do whatever they can to shut down remaining nuclear reactors.

"This planet could not afford another Chernobyl or another Fukushima," he said.
