Fukushima Update

Here are the topic summaries of today's Fukushima updates. Please click the link for the full reports.
 
The question of whether or not the geologic “seam” running under the Oi nuclear station remains an issue. A Nuclear Regulatory Authority (NRA) team of experts looked at the excavated geology last Friday. However, the panel is split over whether or not a displaced stratum above the bedrock is a seismic indicator. Some say it is seismic while others say it’s just as possible it is not. Disagreements among principles in such proceedings are not uncommon. However, this may be the first time an expert debate on a controversial issue has been laid bare for the Japanese press to witness... More errors have been found in the contamination projections released by the NRA last week... The NRA will create expert panel to discuss the criteria for the administration of Potassium Iodide (KI) tablets... Recent medical examinations show no radioactive Cesium in the breast milk of Fukushima mothers... Tokyo Electric Company (Tepco) is said to have “over-reported” the number of people working at Fukushima Daiichi.
