In recent news, there are concerns about a new "bulge" in Unit 4, the most dangerous and damaged building of Fukushima nuclear complex:

From news tabloid New York Times (http://www.nytimes.com/2012/05/27/wo...n-japan.html):
"Fourteen months after the accident, a pool brimming with used fuel rods and filled with vast quantities of radioactive cesium still sits on the top floor of a heavily damaged reactor building, covered only with plastic."
With Japan's large population and Japanese authority's fear of public panic, information on Fukushima only arrives in forced-out leaks, so who knows what really is going on there, suffice to say radiation from Fukushima has been detected in Tuna off the coast of California:
