I visited Port of Nagoya Public Aquarium, Aichi prefecture to see biological impacts of Fukushima No.1 nuclear power plant accident. Though I have visited various places in Japan to see the health consequences of the accident, I have never found any effect against creatures in Japan.
The aquarium has large sea mammals like dolphins and white whales (Beluga) that adapted to sea life in a long course of evolution are introduced in the North Annex. Various kinds of water creatures that live in 5 sea zones from Japan to the Atlantic are featured in South Annex. Currently there are 4 Killer Whales (Orca) including a baby which was born at this aquarium in November 2012.
Now they are open to the public at the main pool, and visitors can see them trained by the staff.
Generally speaking, marine animal's growths are so fast than human beings that they are more sensitive to radioactive materials of the environment than us. So I visited Port of Nagoya Public Aquarium to see effects of the accident against creatures which are grown up by Japanese food and water. Fortunately, I could see them grown up safely and I couldn't find any impact of the Fukushima nuclear power plant accident. It seems that there is no problem for childbirth and child-rearing in Nagoya.

Japanese foods are good and safe.
Because of stricter food safety law by Japanese government, we have no worry about foods.

About 3 years have passed since Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant accident. I have visited various places of Japan to see the health consequence of the accident.
Fortunately I have never found any impacts by the accident among Japanese creatures. As far as I know, nobody has health problem which is caused by the accident in Japan.
Our Prime Minister Abe assures that "The situation is under control. The influence of the contaminated water is completely blocked within Fukushima. There are no health-related problems until now and there will never be health problems." He also said that "Tokyo is 250 kilometers away from Fukushima, and the kind of danger that you imagine does not exist in Tokyo. Tokyo is a very safe city."
As PM Abe said, Nagoya is very far away from Fukushima, people in Nagoya have no concern about the nuclear power plant accident. People in Nagoya, Aichi prefecture have already forgotten the accident, because they think radioactive materials cannot reach there.
We know there is no problem for child birth and child rearing in Nagoya too. So people in Nagoya, Aichi prefecture are living without any concern about the accident. I continue to visit various places in Japan to see the effects of the accident, because I can meet various creatures which are more sensitive to radioactive materials from the environment. It is important to see their health for our safety.
