The decontamination techniques so far have involved either deep tilling to shove the top soil down deep,

a rice farmer in Iidate and former systems engineer who has emerged as a widely cited grassroots expert on decontamination.

The rock fish, for example, almost always show some level of contamination, though it usually low.
