Fukushima "The Open Air Prison" 5 Years Down, Thousands More To Go.  In tonight’s Conversations with Great Minds, Thom discusses the future of nuclear power five years after the disaster at Fukushima with Kevin Kamps and Paul Gunter from Beyond Nuclear.  Full Show 3/11/16: Fukushima Five Years Later https://youtu.be/6QHbS7B2alU?t=30m3s
The first eight minutes are about how the men got involved in their anti nuclear activism.  
The portion of Fukushima begins around 8:00 into the video.  
12:50 Paul Gunter says that TEPCO is making it up as they go along (wrt managing the crisis).
14:00 Fukushima Daini's four reactors just south of Fukushima Daiichi
14:30 Kevin Kamps ignores/forgets the fact that Spent Fuel Pool #4 Caught Fire at Fukushima Daiichi
15:00 Mutations in woods
15:30 Arnie Gundersen tracked a wild monkey and tested it's fresh poop for Cesium and found a WHOPPING 50,000 Bq/Kg of radioactive Cesium in the wild monkey poop.  The monkey they found was located outside of the exclusion zone.
