A live geiger counter that is set up in Western Tokyo. That upward tail is pretty troubling. http://park18.wakwak.com/~weather/geiger_index.html

Site is slow and not all graphs are loading, here's a SS I took of it with both this years and last years graph:

The top graph is now nosediving. An hour ago the upward-trend doubled in a 10 minute span.

What is the bottom graph representing?

I believe the bottom graph indicates levels as measured one year ago.

EDIT: Looks like data from a little over a year ago- The date range in the screenshot is from Dec 4th to 5th 2010.

The Japanese reads "For comparison: data from December 2010."

Other text: "100 CPM is equivalent to exposure of 1 micro-sievert per hour". Or, approximately one tenth your rate of exposure when flying commercial.
