I am in close contact with some Japanese LLL Leaders, and they told me 
that LLL Japan, JALC (Japanese Association of Lactation Consultants) and 
BSN have created a special hotline to support breastfeeding mothers, and 
that they are jointly working to the news release about radiation and 
breastfeeding (also based on some of the material some of you shared 
here on the list, as far as I could understand).
I believe that they are working as hard as they can to support mothers 
and babies.
