Most every story on AJ has embedded links that come from the source.
Click on the highlighted letters and you'll see the original Japanese document that has the science report on the soil, there are other links in the story to back up the rest.
Putting a nuclear reactor in the middle of a highly active earthquake and tsunami zone was a pretty stupid idea to begin with. And I thought the Japanese were supposed to be smart.
Scientists say there is a 98% chance of a major earthquake in Fukishima in the next three years? Yikes! Nuclear power is great unless spent fuel rods are exposed to human beings, and a major quake can topple an already unsteady house of cards.
This is a real disaster and is being under reported.
Any one observing this when it happened understood that the poison would spread around the planet..but most do not want to face reality- Like the reality that cancer causing toxins in the form of crude oil- still lays on the bottom of the Gulf of Mexico---millions of barrels of the stuff...out of sight and out of mind until they see cancer rates in developing children sky rocket in the next five years.

In the 1950s and 60s, when they were recovering from WWII, the USA were pushing nuclear technology as a way for them to meet their booming energy demands. And it worked. Otherwise they'd have had to import their oil, and they don't have abundant coal resources.
But back then they didn't fully understand the ramifications of this technology (and nobody did, really). It's only now that they are starting to see this.
