I am wary a lot of the folks posting there, as they seem to be almost exclusively of the alarmist variety, but this story is interesting. Also on the front page is a chart showing an increase in cesium levels, but the data is hard to interpret and may not mean anything....

Take a look, I would like to have some opinions on it.

Much information can lost in translations. However, this much is clear. EENews included the following source link, which included the original Japanese language source link. So, there we have a detailed and attributed 1st person account.

Fukushima Diary is an excellent resource. I highly encourage BRAWM staff to keep tabs on it and to contribute with their expertise.

Probably more HYPE

All along enenews has been engaging in exaggeration and HYPE. If only enenews is reporting this; then I'd discard it out of hand.

Look to see if this story is picked up by more responsible media than enenews.

I like the caption about spf #4 "boiling without water". How do you boil without water? You can say that the spf is not getting enough heat removal so that the water that is there is boiling.

But if you are "without water"; then how do you boil, when it is the water that boils?

Sit tight. Don't be stampeded by enenews. See what responsible news outlets say.

news outlets ????? ---- like faux news ?

Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha ...

The only truth from fuk u dai now comes from the unembedded and not in bed with the nuke industry residents of Fukushima and the few brave souls willing to risk a shotgun blast from the Yakuza, the hired thugs and guardians of the nukers in Japan.

Japan's 'news outlets' ALL toe the party line until they are dragged kicking and screaming to the truth. They will be the last source to hear from, and then it will only be to downplay and bury the truth if they possibly can.

news outlets my ass, more like news dams.....

Enenews is 10% responsibly

Enenews is 10% responsibly sourced fact, 90% rampant speculation and personal bias / opinion, and 100% paranoid. "Your daily dose of apocalypse" would make a great slogan.

Update 1/10/12 No big deal.
