The IAEA doesn't mention anything about this, so I'll withhold judgement until then.

The important thing to note is the 'considering' part and also that this is based on total radioactive material release since the tsunami and not on any new events.

isn't it saying that the releases earlier were a lot worse than people realised at the time?
