Well, according to my father, who knows a lot about radiation physics and a decent amount about Japanese geography, and also has The Google at his fingertips, Team 3 can expect about a 10-20 mrem dose of radiation during our two week stay in Japan.
For those (like me) who didn't know previously what that meant... that's roughly equivalent to getting an x-ray at the dentist, and won't even be as much radiation as we'll pick up just on the flight over.
Everyone can safely put away their Geiger counters and hang out with us without fear once we return.
Regarding tainted food and water, the Pater said he'd be more worried about E coli and exciting squirmy little things like that than any radiation poisoning. Hurrah!
