A site maintained by a nuclear researcher in Japan providing data about the current state of Reactors in Fukushima and some limited analysis, including some comments on the recent assignment of INES levels. "I have just created this blog to show some relevant information about the Fukushima Nuclear Power Plant 1 (#FNPP1) accident and its consequences for the environment. Since I won't be writing anything close to a "blog" with "successive updates", I've decided to put the information on separate pages instead of posts. This site doesn't intend to provide a comprehensive analysis, nor data, but to add my bit showing some useful information that I haven't found elsewhere. So far you'll find: The evolution of #FNPP1 reactors main parameters (water level, pressure, temperature, etc.) Some thoughts on #FNPP1 INES level 7 uprating by NISA [4/12] The evolution of the radioactivity in Ibaraki prefecture (between Tokyo and Fukushima) and Tokyo since the accident. Tohoku EPCO's efforts to recover electricity supply to households lost after repeated large quakes."

News Video about a Japanese international student in the US learning that her family is still alive via YouTube

People living at the top of the hill observed the warning inscribed on the stone monument that was built at the place 60 meters above the sea level after the Showa Sanriku Tsunami in 1933

Very graphic illustration of how things stand. Definitely don't like the look of it. Would rather be in a non-yellow zone...

Perfect example for teaching students and parents critical literacy & media bias - tons of examples of incorrect/biased reporting with links.
