From Brave New Climate:
I am writing this text (Mar 12) to give you some peace of mind regarding some of the troubles in Japan, that is the safety of Japan’s nuclear reactors. Up front, the situation is serious, but under control. And this text is long! But you will know more about nuclear power plants after reading it than all journalists on this planet put together.
There was and will *not* be any significant release of radioactivity.
By “significant” I mean a level of radiation of more than what you would receive on – say – a long distance flight, or drinking a glass of beer that comes from certain areas with high levels of natural background radiation.
Whew! Great. I think I'll have that nightcap now!

Japan's nuclear safety agency said on Sunday there was no problem with the cooling process at Tohoku Electric Power Co's (9506.T) Onagawa nuclear power plant and that a rise in radiation levels there was due to radiation leakage at another plant in a neighbouring prefecture.
Do you know much about the author of that post? It is being spammed around by a PR firm.
Thanks James! I wouldn't doubt that for one second. I've been getting MANY MANY reports that conflict with it. Do you have any other good ones besides this: http://www.energybulletin.net/stories/2011-03-13/how-black-japanese-nuclear-swan
