Their analysis of the data? They don't even have the complete data to analyze.

Funny you should talk about a deep cavern... because that is where the corium of the 3 leaking reactor "ex-containers" is going.... Down into the ground. Down which means they probably will never be able to contain or clean up. And where does this cavern sit? Why, right on the edge of the ocean. An ocean into which groundwater discharges.

And what do people eat? Why, they eat fish that comes from the ocean that the corium is flowing into.

And people eat plants that grow in dirt. Dirt that has shown such high levels of radioactivity that some dirt is being scraped up and hauled away. So that is another set of data that is unknown and therefore un-analyzed.

Why can't you see this simple stuff? Even the report makes mention of these future impacts. As a whole, the report is nothing more than an attempt to allay fears. And it doesn't even accomplish that.
