Radiation levels at Fukushima Daiichi are not rising

What's really weird, because of Tepco bureaucracy and diplomatic reasons the world watched more than 24 hours live and so the catastrophe happening in slow motion. It would have been very easy to fly in backup generators from anywhere (even US ships in Japan) and avoid this shit.

And now they are still leak a lot to the Pacific Ocean, without doing much. Is it still because of diplomatic reasons? Why don't they use liquidators and heavy machinery to cut off and dry the ocean area near the former plant and fill it with concrete and steel, and cool off the shit, and cover all related buildings with concrete and steel. The Pacific Ocean is already contaminated, and howblong do they want to wait. There is a need to help Japan, in contrary to the former country tht's now called Russia that could barely handle Chernobyl (they couldn't, the country broke apart 4 years later), Japan os finacically ruined and just covers up and and isn't able to fix it - so in the interest of other world citizens they need seriouly international help.

530 Sv/hr seems like a surprisingly high amount of radiation.

For reference, 300 Sv/hr was coming from the immediate vicinity of the Chernobyl reactor when the firefighters arrived. [^1]

Wow, what a great project. Thanks to whoever put this together!

Has anyone tried correcting the segments of the panoramas for vignetting to get a better stitched image?

Reading news this days is becoming crazy:

1) Something happened

2) You google for it, confirmation

3) Then you google for something opposite

4) You find another 20 news sources confirming the opposite

I would really welcome the source (TEPCO in this case) to be open and publish just raw numbers.

If they are brave like gitlab a live stream would also be nice.

Not quite mincing words and technically true, I guess, but what is true isn't any less troubling.

Do you guys have anything about climate change
