(Correction: The previous estimate was 1 terabequerel per hour, not per day. So, per day would be 24 terabequerels.)
"On April 12 during the joint press conference with Nuclear and Industrial Safety Agency (NISA) where they jointly announced the Fukushima I Plant accident was INES Level 7, the Commission assured the world that said that the release of radioactive materials from the plant had decreased to less than 1 terabecquerel per hour, or 24 terabecquerels per day.
It took the Commission 11 days to go from 24 terabecquerels per day to 154 terabecquerels per day. They say they miscalculated. What else have they, all nuclear experts, miscalculated............................."

Americans also have good cause to mistrust these same sort of assurances issued to American residents. The following is a letter I just sent to the Union of Concerned Scientists detailing evidence that the Fukushima unit 3 Reactor was the source of the massive hydrogen explosion a few weeks ago.... and the further implications of this easily verifiable fact.

Today I had another look at the diagram, and noticed something else quite significant that I had missed before. I realized that the top of the primary containment vessel was flush with the floor level of the 4th floor, and that the top of the reactor itself was in the space between the 3rd and 4th floors, partially surrounded by the spent fuel pool.
Look at those photos again, particularly the 5th shot. At the top of the photo you see the skeletal remnants of the wall of the 3rd and 4th floors. It is easy to see the floor level of the third floor - there are two massive steam pipes running behind and below the building...the lower edge of the lower pipe is almost perfectly aligned with the floor level of the 3rd floor. Follow the floor line of the third floor down down from that back wall along the right side of the building, then across the front side of the building near the bottom of the photo. That shows you the floor level of the 3rd floor very clearly, right? There is nothing but air remaining above that level, except for a bit of roof debris which you can see through. The top of the primary containment vessel, as well as the top of the reactor itself, is simply GONE........................"

“For Chernobyl, we were told that there was nothing, which in fact there was. How does one rebuild confidence?”
“One had the impression – justified or not – that the authorities were lying, and so everything they said was cast into doubt,” said Klein....."

Debris found on a nearby mountain has radioactivity of 300 millisieverts/hour
"Tokyo Electric Power Company has disclosed a map of radiation levels at the damaged Fukushima Daiichi nuclear plant.
The utility plans to urgently remove radioactive rubble, and the map will help to protect workers from unnecessary exposure to radiation.
TEPCO began making the map in late March, and has posted copies in the plant's buildings.
The map shows radiation levels that controllers measured around the first 4 reactors before the start of the working day.
Radiation levels around the Number 3 reactor building, which was damaged by a powerful hydrogen explosion, are higher than in other locations, and 300 millisieverts per hour of radiation was detected in debris on a nearby mountainside............................."

Flooding No. 1 reactor with water could cause cracks: Experts — Japanese gov’t concerned about structural strength + (VIDEO)
"The Japanese government’s nuclear safety agency said Saturday it has commissioned an investigation into the ability of the No. 1 reactor at the stricken Fukushima Daiichi to withstand further earthquakes in the wake of the March 11 disasters, amid concern that pouring water crucial to cool fuel rods into the reactor could conceivably weaken its structure. <...>
Japanese state broadcaster NHK reported early Saturday that the Japanese government has expressed concern about the structural strength of the Fukushima Daiichi plant’s No. 1 reactor, saying water injections to cool fuel rods since the 9.0 earthquake and tsunami March 11 may be making the vessel less earthquake-resistant. <...>
But some experts have pointed out that since reactors weren’t designed to be filled up with water, the process could put strain on structures and possibly cause cracks, especially if the area were hit by another major tremor as aftershocks continue to rumble around Japan. <...>......."

It is getting so hard to find news on Fukushima, even though it is not getting any better (and indeed worsen in many cases).
Previous 'official' releases that were low-balling or understating impacts and levels are now being methodically 'walked-back', and blamed on 'faulty equipment' or simply error. Sounds like the typical dis info campaign I have seen employed all too often before, in a myriad number of situs.
Kyodo news just blocked most of their content, unless you pay them.
