Yet another FUD article. No numbers, just boldest comparisons to pre-accident measurements.

Are the crippled units in really bad shape? Yep.

Is there a known issue with groundwater intrusion, possibly carrying out radionuclides? Yep.

Are the concentrations dangerous? Nope.

Shit, the Japanese government committed to decontaminating the prefecture (removal of soil, hosing down... well, everything). They were thorough. At this point, radiation levels in decontaminated areas are lower than in most of the continental United States. EDIT: Source (20 mSv/y = 200 mrem/y... average US exposure is ~300)

How about you find a source better than some bum New York radio station? They're a little too busy questioning Ted Cruz's sexual preferences to do any real journalism
