Commentary - Fukushima’s waste water decontamination system is a success story - F. Daiichi's "makeshift" waste water decontamination system gets critical news coverage every time it has problem. But, there have been no Japanese news stories about the system's unquestionable success. Plus, the waste waters remaining in the plant basements are 20 times less radioactive than a year ago. For a "makeshift" technology, it's doing a great job.

America’s Gundersen profits on Japan’s fears 
For the past several weeks, America’s preeminent prophet of nuclear energy doom has been touring Japan. He says that Fukushima Daiichi is an accident still-in-progress, with the greatest potential for disaster being the spent fuel pool (SFP) of unit #4. His prolific panderings have precious little real-world evidence to support them, but the Japanese Press and many politicians treat him as an expert voice to be reckoned with. One can be sure that he’s paying himself handsomely out of money his company is receiving from Japan. Preaching that Nuclear Judgment Day is an ongoing possibility has become a lucrative endeavor.
