Now trying to remove radiogenic substance by Japanese Traditional Food, Natto

If you have ever been in Japan, you might be surprised to know how Japanese love to eat weired, gooey, slimy food Natto, which is fermant soy beans.

Before you eat it, you need to stir up with chop stick to make it more gooey.It is said the more gooey ,the more delicious.

A Professor of Handai Univ. in Osaka made a report to TEPCO(Tokyo Electric Co,) that this stickiness will help remove raiogenic substance from contaminated water.

Theoritically, it makes sense, and TEPCO will do field test to see how much this will be effective.

Yesterday, French specialists of Areba arrived at Tokyo and would start working with TEPCO engineers on the facility.

It is good to use highly state-of-the-art technology to make things settled.
But I like to see those weired challenges as well, because how many those weired idea come up in this emergency situation shows the depth of the fundamental knowlege of the technology.

Actually, TEPCO have already picked up one idea from ordinary road construction company, which is to scatter the chemicals, which is usually used for the road construction, over the surface of the land to prevent the radiogenic substance to flow up and scattered in the air.

Video Clip shows Natto. He tried to stir it up 10,000 times.
It's just he's been carried away.
