From Energy News via Occupy the NRC ~ Professor: Fukushima disaster “beyond a cover-up” — Japan gov’t thinks they can get away with tricking masses about extent of problem — Officials and Tepco cannot be trusted, they are lying to the camera

And BBC News reports ~ Fukushima radiation levels '18 times higher' than thought
The Tokyo Electric Power Company (Tepco) had originally said the radiation emitted by the leaking water was around 100 millisieverts an hour. However, the company said the equipment used to make that recording could only read measurements of up to 100 millisieverts. The new recording, using a more sensitive device, showed a level of 1,800 millisieverts an hour. The new reading will have direct implications for radiation doses received by workers who spent several days trying to stop the leak last week, the BBC's Rupert Wingfield-Hayes reports from Tokyo.
In addition, Tepco says it has discovered a leak on another pipe emitting radiation levels of 230 millisieverts an hour. The plant has seen a series of water leaks and power failures.
Meanwhile, (Esquire) Charles P. Peirce writes ~ The First Rule Of Negotiating With Energy Companies
One of the great selling points used by the extraction-industry grifters in selling their two major current projects -- fracking and more pipelines -- is all the money that will fall from the skies. Except that, maybe, not so much.
........We need oversight and we need a recognition of what ought to be Rule No. 1 in these transactions -- Energy Companies Always Lie. About Everything. Forever."
