I enjoy these msmilkyclown compilations of NHK stories since the US press seems intent on ignoring coverage of the heroic efforts of the Japanese to clean up the Fukushima mess, though it seems to be in the context that things are way out of control.

Note from MsMilkytheclown: -
Putting a cover on Spent Fuel Pool #4 in order to eventually retrieve the spent fuel rods (technology invention pending) -Sending in another robot (previous ones failed) into reactor #2 suppression chamber. -still pushing the agenda of restarting the Ohi nuclear power plant, but still need residents support... -*surprise* population drop largest since the 50s or so and implications -impending economic demise for Japan and Japanese government -
