The interview with Hiroaki Koide of Kyoto University Research Reactor Institute is outlined at the blog above. Because of copyright issues, I think it's too long to copy and paste here.

Interview With Japanese Nuclear Engineer

Interview with Akira Tokuhiro, Nuclear Engineer:
Fukushima and the Mass Media

"Only the mass media can put the kind of pressure on TEPCO and the Japanese government to bring about major change. This will cost at least 10 billion dollars if not 20-30 billion to clean up. It will take at least 10 years if not 20 and roughly 10,000 people working on the cleanup. The nuclear business is global. This needs an international effort to clean up Fukushima."
-- Nuclear Engineer Akira Tokuhiro
