A localized high level of radiation was found in Tokyo on Thursday. The discovery was made in a small Toshima Ward park near playground equipment. The reading at the ground level was 480 microsieverts per hour. The park was closed in order to investigate. The earth at...Fukushima Accident Chasing
The past three years have witnessed numerous public-generated lawsuits concerning the Fukushima accident. Some want Tepco officials tried as criminals, but many more have tried to make Tepco pay even more to the evacuees than the generous stipends currently being...April 23, 2015

It seems Tepco will look into any possibility for the reduction of Tritium-laced waters being stored at F. Daiichi in order to dull the pain from the constant socio-political bashing they suffer.
