When Nr.2 get his Cover it will be even 60% less! [/quote] Ok, you are just playing at being deliberately stupid now. You know as well as anyone that those current levels are still off the charts high. It does not matter if they are less off the charts high than they were. At the very, very least all of the damaged reactor buildings should have had plastic covers put over them last year to stop the radioactive dust from blowing around and getting stirred up. This should have been the first thing done after the debris were cleared enough to get at them. Tepco does not deserve an award for covering a building, they deserve a kick in the ass for being so slow about it. [/quote] But Atom Boy says the glass is half full. [/quote]

According to calculations by Tokyo Electric Power Co., the operator of the Fukushima No. 1 plant, a total of about 10 million becquerels per hour of radioactive cesium was being emitted from the No. 1 to No. 3 reactors as of June.
[...]
since February, the level of radiation emitted from the reactors has remained unchanged.
“There is the possibility that the cesium that fell on the reactor buildings was stirred up again,” said Junichi Matsumoto, acting general director of TEPCO’s Nuclear Power and Plant Siting Division.
The most radiation is being emitted from the No. 2 reactor, which is releasing 8 million becquerels an hour. The radiation is believed to be leaking from a hole that was made in the wall of the top floor of the reactor building.
