OIL Now Leaking From Reactors 5 and 6
Oil was leaking into the sea from heavy oil tanks for reactors 5 and 6 at the Fukushima No. 1 nuclear plant, Tokyo Electric Power Co. said Tuesday, adding the spill may have been ongoing since the March 11 quake and tsunami.
Tepco said workers at the site saw an oil slick floating on the sea at 8 a.m. Tuesday near the intakes of units 5 and 6.The oil slick is believed to be 200 to 300 meters long.
The total amount of oil that has leaked is still unknown, and the utility plans to set up a boom to prevent the slick from spreading. But hasn't yet.

Furthermore there are three times as much fuel and four more times as many fission products in Fukushima than in Chernobyl. Considering now the cores (577 tons) together with the “dead” fuel (2.800 tons), the total amount is eight times more fission and activation products than all fission atmospheric tests and 39 times more than Chernobyl.

As for the potential lethal doses by inhalation (multiply each element’s Becquerel’s by the dose factor and divide by 5), calculated with the lowest OFFICIAL dose factors provided by the IAEA, they correspond to the apocalyptic figure of three millions of millions lethal doses, of which 80 % is already equitably spread out all over the northern hemisphere.
Japan 'underestimated' tsunami risk
UN atomic watchdog IAEA says the country underestimated the hazard posed by tsunamis to nuclear plants. Because the IAEA has spoken, we know this to be true. Not because of the two plus month's worth of evidence.
