About the video: Updates about nuclear crisis in Japan. Arnie Gundersen from Fairewinds says Fukushima’s gaseous and liquid releases continue unabated. With a meltdown at Unit 1, Unit 4 leaning and facing possible collapse, several units contaminating ground water, and area school children outside the exclusion zone receiving adult occupational radiation doses, the situation continues to worsen. TEPCO needs a cohesive plan and international support to protect against world-wide contamination.

Note: This morning, Saturday, May 14, 2011, it is now reported that a Japan nuclear plant worker has died. Story: here.
