ACRO Radiation Reporting 
At the request of Japanese citizens shortly after the nuclear crisis at Fukushima began, ACRO: Associative Analysis of Radioactivity Lab (based in France, established 25 years ago in response to Chernobyl) agreed to assist in radiation analysis in Japan. This project is ongoing, as ACRO continues to analyzes soil, pastures, water, vegetables, seawater and sealife, urine of children from Fukushima area, Tokyo sludge and more.

More than a year after the nuclear crisis erupted, Shuntaro Hida [...]
Chairman of the NAIIC (The Fukushima Nuclear Accident Independent Investigation Commission) Kiyoshi Kurokawa and the nine members of this investigative body on Fukushima, submitted their findings in a Special Report to the Japanese Diet.

A collapse of the already tilting reactor No 4 building at the stricken Fukushima Daiichi plant, atop which sits a spent nuclear fuel storage pool containing 1,535 fuel assemblies – including 204 unused ones – would lead to a “significant global impact,”– by far topping last year’s triple [...]
It’s important to keep in mind that protesting in Japan is virtually unheard of. Anti nuclear protests have been taking place every month in Japan since the nuclear accident at the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear facility occurred on March 11, 2011. Videos were done by Ryan, The Ghost Letter Reports, an American who lives in Japan. Thanks [...]
