Fukushima updates might be posted. The things which cause the most concern are rarely covered by the M$M...

Last week, I began asking friends and strangers to tell me what they know about Fukushima, and the immense job of moving the spent fuel rods. The majority of those I've asked don't even know what happened at Fukushima Daiichi, now almost two years ago. They don't know that water contaminated with significant amounts of radioactivity has been leaking into the Pacific since the catastrophe in March 2011.

Sadder still -- they don't want to know.
