Yes puremalarkey has a good collection on Fukushima. Very well worth a look.

He pops up in the media – discussing the “seriousness” of the Fukushima situation, but including reassuring little comments about how the radioactive water leak problem is now “under control” – a very clever soft salesman for the nuclear industry.
