That’s the best reporting on Fukishima you’ll find.
Doesn’t mention what you posted about however.
Unlike the media -and the outright nutcase wbesites- they get accurate translations and they understand the technology.

I like the PhysicsForum but just like any other website - you do have to look for ideology if nuke engineers are participating.I’ve seen some good debunking - for example, the talk show host who volunteered to inhale plutonium to prove it is safe - he was debunked via calculations on the physicsforum showing he’d die.
However, if those participating on a thread are nuke industry physicists, it is still necessary to use your judgement to try to weed out propaganda.
On FR, I’ve had nuclear engineers demand that I perform perform dosimetry calculations (and show my work)in order to prove that I am qualified to comment. Those nuclear engineers don’t realize that the calculations they use for dosimetry are irrelevant to medical health and actually provide invalid data. Even when they use such calculations to try to “prove” that radioactive potassium in bananas should concern us more than plutonium - the light just never goes on in their heads that maybe their formulas don’t measure what they think it measures.
