Fukushima: Last week, levels of radioactive tritium in samples collected near reactor #1 spiked sharply, measuring 34,000 Bq/liter—far higher than that of samples collected near reactors #3 and #4, which measured between 210 and 1,500 Bq/liter.

Fukushima: Radioactive cesium in seawater by Fukushima has gone from 71 million to 200 bq/litre in two years.(Long blog by ex-skf that may be reassuring)
“Off-handed remark of “300 tonnes of contaminated water leaking every day” by a career bureaucrat from the most powerful government ministry in Japan. The remark was actually a mere assumption by the official and his office but was reported as “fact”. It is safe, I believe, to assume that the highly contaminated water that still exists in the trenches and which has radioactive cesium in billions of becquerels per liter is not leaking in great quantity into the seawater yet.

Fukushima getting worse: S. Korean Editorial: The Japanese government has finally acknowledged that highly radioactive water has been pouring out at a rate of 300 tons a day from the crippled Fukushima nuclear plant. That means about 270,000 tons [270,000,000 liters] of contaminated water has flowed into the Pacific Ocean over nearly two-and-a-half years. […]
It defies understanding how Japan has hid this regional, if not global, issue of environmental concern from its neighbors.

Fukushima getting worse: Interview with Dr Ken Buesseler, senior scientist, Woods Hole Oceanographic Institute,.
“Different isotopes that are radioactive are shifting from being predominantly a caesium concern early on to what might be different isotopes, including strontium 90, if you know something about these isotopes, they accumulate differently in fish and in parts of our bodies, so strontium is called the bone seeking isotope, because it looks like there’s calcium in the fish and in our bone, so it has a more long term affect and potentially different health affect to the caesium that’s been released earlier.”

Fukushima getting worse: Paul Gunter on Fukushima nuclear waste still leaking into Pacific . Radioactive cesium strontium hydrogen and tritium – 300 – 400 metric tons per day ” We’re seeing a full range of radioactive contaminants now moving, which indicate that the damaged cores of these reactors — the meltdowns themselves — are now contributing to the contamination in the Pacific Ocean and groundwater. […]”
Right now we’re seeing the Japanese government is in chaos.
The fact that the revelation of this extensive contamination is coming now — more than two years after the accident occurred — indicates that it’s completely out of control. […]
Indications are right now that the reactor structures themselves have been breached.
It’s very likely that some of the radioactive material — the melted cores — have moved into the earth.
So it’s beyond containment right now.
I think that’s the tragedy that we see unfolding as Fukushima’s radioactive water crisis is only beginning. […]

Michael..what a great way to start a New Year! It is just way beyond terrific to have all of these important articles, with their links, all listed on one page. First of all, it is really impressive to see that there are so many recent articles that MUST be read, and second…it is wonderful not to have to go hunting for them. I just wish I had the time back that I have spent in the past, trying to locate these articles, in order to forward them to friends, in an attempt to inform and educate them as to the nuclear crisis that is going on, thanks to Fukushima. I just wish that the US Government would go and do likewise!
While I know that there are certainly articles on this potential global disaster to be found in some small newspapers, I have not, so far, found anyone, anywhere, who has been tackling the whole Fukushima disaster, head on, as you have been doing. And, in addition, you have also written many articles, plus, now, a five part series, on our local nuclear and toxic chemical contamination on the Santa Susana Field Laboratory.
I cannot believe how incredibly lucky that we all are to have you here in our midst, doing your knowledgeable environmental reporting, without which we would basically all be in the dark, when it comes to understanding and interpreting everything that has been happening in California, the USA, and the World. My hope is that in 2013, you, and also Denise, will continue to have the concern, energy and courage to keep investigating and writing about all of these issues, which affect the health and welfare of all of us.
Meanwhile, 2012 grateful THANKS!
