I read it last night.
Apparently they suspect a partial meltdown at the Tsuruga plant.
If you google it I am sure you will come across it.
Some Government Minister has also stepped down & a large group of independent doctors are saying that levels where Japan says are safe in schools are 20 times the safe levels & will result in 1 in 200 dying as a direct result.Not Again0 -

Yeah thanks just reading about it.
Did you see that top Japanese government guy resigning saying he now believes ALL fuel rods have completely melted down!!!!!!!!
They may have already escaped the containment vessel.
This is serious stuff, why do they not evacuate all the North East coast of Japan?0 -

A bit nuts really. Too much info floating about & the Canadians are going ballistic about the xenon gas coming over them.Not Again0 -
Been reading about more cases of radiation symptoms in Japan but there is a big cover up going on. Japanese Doctors are all loyal to Japan and agree to keep it quiet and tell the patients its something else.0

Japan's prime minister has told a power company to halt operations at another nuclear plant due to fears an earthquake could trigger a new crisis.
Naoto Kan said three reactors at Hamaoka plant should be suspended until new safety measures were put in place.

Radiation in soil near troubled Japan nuclear plant exceeds Chernobyl evacuation level
In this Friday, March 18, 2011 satellite image released by DigitalGlobe, the Fukushima Dai-ichi is shown. (AP Photo/DigitalGlobe)
The levels of radiation accumulated in soil near the crippled nuclear power plant in northeastern Japan far exceeded the level of radiation the then-Soviet Union had used as a criterion for urging people to evacuate at the time of the 1986 Chernobyl nuclear disaster, threatening to plague local residents for a lengthy period.
Using aircraft, the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology checked the cesium-137 (half life of about 30 years) and cesium-134 (half life of about two years) accumulated in soil in collaboration with the U.S. Department of Energy in April.
Cesium-137 that has longer effects, ranging from 3 million to 14.7 million becquerels per square meter, was detected in Namie, Futaba, Minamisoma, Iitate and Katsurao, northwest of the Fukushima No. 1 Nuclear Power Plant, in Fukushima Prefecture. The levels far exceeded 550,000 bacquerels per square meter, the level the then-Soviet Union had used as a criterion for urging people to evacuate at the time of the 1986 Chernobyl nuclear disaster.
