Decides that the situation has stabilized and stops radiation monitoring. In other words, we are on our own. Absolutely no help from financially, fiscally and morally bankrupt DC.
Your choice of the words "admitted" and "acknowledging" shows a clear bias on your part. From the article:
But over the last week, a combination of robotic and human inspections has led to the conclusion...Do you think the US should be upset that they are getting more and better information, and sharing it? Or are you so enamored of guessing the worst about the accident that you think everybody should be guessing all the time, rather than actually collecting evidence?
BTW, there is little indication that the situation is "much worse". They know more. It requires a different approach. But the fuel was destroyed, and whether it's a molten block in the assembly, or a molten blob on the containment floor, doesn't really change the situation much. It could drive up the costs of storage since they might not be able to remove the reactor material.
Of course, your contention that the U.S. is reacting to the news ("now that") is probably dead wrong. We've monitored the situation since the accident, and there's been nothing to suggest that continued full-scale monitoring was necessary.
How a lack of monitoring leaves you more "on your own" than you already were, I can't say. Monitoring wasn't really helping you.
I'd rather they take some of that money they were wasting on monitoring and use it to help out people being devastated by flooding and fires here in this country -- real problems which are killing and harming real people in this country, unlike the nuclear reactor accident.
