He said he had been disappointed with New Zealand media coverage on Fukushima: "Little of it is fact based, it is increasingly taking the form of a docu-drama with a mixture of fact, ill-informed non-expert opinion and a fair dose of fiction."

Just looking at Sky News. Apparently a 16 year old boy and his 80 year old Grandmother have been pulled alive out of the rubble of a building, 9 days after the earthquake, through freezing cold temperatures.

We would also like to make our deep apologies for the concerns and inconveniences caused due to the incident of Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Station and the leakage of radioactive substances to the people living in the surrounding area of the power station, the people of Fukushima Prefecture, and broader society.


http://www.tepco.co.jp/en/index-e.html

NHK updates show that no one is working there...the 'between the lines' reading of this is that it it too hot, seeing as they are saying it is still grave and serious.

http://www.indianexpress.com/news/fukushima-nuclear-plant-radiation-detected-in-glasgow-report/768855/

Quote
Low levels of radioactive iodine believed to be from the crippled Fukushima nuclear plant in Japan have been detected in air samples in Glasgow, thousands of kilometres away from the accident site.

The Scottish Environment Protection Agency (SEPA) said the concentration of iodine found was "extremely low" and "not of concern for the public".


No worries, carry on.


Quote
Radioactive caesium and iodine has been deposited in northern Japan far from the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear plant, at levels that were considered highly contaminated after Chernobyl.

The readings were taken by the Japanese science ministry, MEXT, and reveal high levels of caesium-137 and iodine-131 outside the 30-kilometre evacuation zone, mostly to the north-north-west.

Iodine-131, with a half-life of eight days, should disappear in a matter of weeks. The bigger worry concerns caesium-137, which has a half-life of 30 years and could pose a health threat for far longer. Just how serious that will be depends on where it lands, and whether remediation measures are possible.

The US Department of Energy has been surveying the area with an airborne gamma radiation detector. It reports that most of the "elevated readings" are within 40 kilometres of the plant, but that "an area of greater radiation extending north-west… may be of interest to public safety officials".

Germany is determined to show the world how abandoning nuclear energy can be done.

The world's fourth-largest economy stands alone among leading industrialized nations in its decision to stop using nuclear energy because of its inherent risks. It is betting billions on expanding the use of renewable energy to meet power demands instead.

The transition was supposed to happen slowly over the next 25 years, but is now being accelerated in the wake of Japan's Fukushima Dai-ichi nuclear plant disaster, which Chancellor Angela Merkel has called a "catastrophe of apocalyptic dimensions."

Immeasurable levels of radiation reported at Fukushima plant

Quote
The radiation level inside the plant has risen beyond the limit where it can be measured, NHK local television reported, quoting a plant’s monitoring specialist. He said the radiation is exceeding the 100 millisievert level in some places outside the plant, while inside the buildings the monitoring systems fail to show any accurate numbers.



Quote
Fukushima nuclear power plant operator Tokyo Electric Power Co. (TEPCO) plans to dump more than 11,500 tones of radioactive water from the destroyed plant into the Pacific Ocean by this weekend.


Quote
Meanwhile Russia's state atomic energy agency Rosatom is discussing the possibility of sending Japan a “Landysh” liquid radioactive waste processing facility worth 35 million dollars, designed under the Russia-Japan 1993 agreement on nuclear disarmament, non-proliferation and utilization, and financed by the Japanese government.


Quote
Meanwhile, as safety concerns rise in the wake of continuing water leaks, Japan hastily set 2,000 bequerels per kilogram as the legal limit for the permitted level of radioactive iodine in seafood, the same limit that has been already adopted for vegetables, Kyodo news network reports, quoting Japan’s Chief Cabinet Secretary Yukio Edano.


http://rt.com/news/radioactive-water-pacific-plant/

That's awesome. The EPA are raising the allowable levels as well:

Quote
The EPA is preparing to dramatically increase permissible radioactive releases in drinking water, food and soil after “radiological incidents,” according to Public Employees for Environmental Responsibility.

Just when you felt safe:

Quote
In 1959 the World Health Organisation entered into an agreement with the International Atomic Energy Agency which gave the unequivocally pro-nuclear IAEA a veto over WHO research into the effects of radiation.


So we would have been subject to much manipulation of data.

But:
Quote
In Kiev in June (2001) WHO is running its own conference on the effects of Chernobyl separate from IAEA.

The levels of 'radioactive' Iodine really shouldn't be of concern to anyone, in Glasgow, or indeed, Japan. At the moment.

Nor should consuming any 'radioactive' Squid be of much concern. At the moment.
