In response to visual investigation results and high radiation measurements recently taken by TEPCO inside Fukushima Daiichi Unit 2, many news outlets have published stories with headlines like \u201cFukushima nuclear reactor radiation at highest level since 2011 meltdown.\u201d (The Guardian, Feb. 3, 2017). This has led to a number of alarming stories claiming that radiation at Daiichi has \u201cspiked\u201d to unprecedented levels. That\u2019s not what the findings indicate, however. In addition, Safecast\u2019s own measurements, including our Pointcast real time detector system have shown radiation levels near Daiichi to be steadily declining…. …The process of removing melted fuel debris from the damaged reactors at Fukushima Daiichi is expected to take decades, and these recent findings remind us once again that TEPCO has little grounds for optimism about the challenges of this massive and technically unprecedented project.<\/p>\n
