Prophets of nuclear energy doom have again descended on Japan’s willing, nuclear-averse Press - Fears of a spent fuel pool accident causing an apocalypse... International, historically-antinuclear researchers want increased testing of the Pacific Ocean... Tepco has found elevated levels of Cesium in a unit #1 equipment tunnel, probably from rainwater run-off... Tepco's groundwater pumping has lowered levels about 20 inches... A Liberal Democratic Party subcommittee wants all nuke construction stopped... Fukushima repopulation continues to be disappointing...
