Is anybody actually paying attention to Fukushima/Tepco?

Is anybody actually paying attention to Fukushima/Tepco?

M.K.:

There is a site ENENews.com [1] that keeps up to date on Fukushima issues. It is tied into international sources such as IAEA, International Atomic Energy Agency, US sources, such as NRC Information, and sources it can find in Japan. It has articles from nuclear scientists and engineers. It uses SI units so those of us who grew up with Curies and and REMS need to be up on our conversion factors. It is a free news source. As far as I have been to discern, they are not anybody’s mouthpiece, and they tell it like it is. There are references and comparisons to other nuclear disasters. Their offices are in the US. Unfortunately, there isn’t much good news. The reactor cores melted through the containment vessels and are in the ground under the site. There is some possibility fission is still continuing as indicated by I-131 with an 8-day half life still being found almost 4 years after the initial earthquake and tsunami. This is an on-going disaster. Lately, no Bluefin Tuna has been caught in the North Pacific that does not have detectable radiation emission, indicating the original radioactive material released has made its way up the food chain by biological amplification. It may be below regulatory limits, but it seems like it can only increase. TEPCO is totally inept and beyond their depth to handle this crisis, and, as far as I can find out, refusing to let outside experts assist them.

[1] The bad news is that ENENews.com has been shut down. The good news is that the archives for the website are available at https://web.archive.org/web/20181019142635/http://enenews.com/

J.S.:

When the Japanese Government passed a “special state secrets” law clamping down on whistleblowers’ and reporters’ information about Fukushima it is almost guaranteed no bad news would come out unless it’s another catastrophic accident with people hurt. Control of information is control of public opinion à la 1984. Our nuclear regulators allow up to 60 years to decommission a nuclear reactor under safe shut down. Fukushima may pollute our planet forever. Another person trying to pay attention here, under the above circumstances.
