[ExI] Fukushima now officially an emergency

[BillK]

Looks like reality has broken through the soothing words and cover-ups.
So the question now is how much radioactive water can the Pacific Ocean absorb?

The head of Japan's NRA, Shinji Kinjo exclaimed, "right now, we have
an emergency," as he noted the contaminated groundwater has breached
an underground barrier and is rising toward the surface - exceeding
the limits of radioactive discharge. In a rather outspoken comment for
the typically stoic Japanese, Kinjo said Tepco's "sense of crisis was
weak," adding that "this is why you can't just leave it up to Tepco
alone" to grapple with the ongoing disaster. As Reuters notes, Tepco
has been accused of covering up shortcomings and has been lambasted
for its ineptness in the response and while the company says it is
taking actions to contain the leaks, Kinjo fears if the water reaches
the surface "it would flow extremely fast," with some suggesting as
little as three weeks until this critical point.
