Record high fatal radiation levels, hole in reactor detected at 
crippled Fukushima nuclear facility | 02 Feb 2017 |

https://www.rt.com/news/376107-fukushima-record-radiation-level/

  Record high radiation levels that's lethal even after brief exposure 
have been detected at a damaged reactor at the Fukushima power plant 
in Japan. Specialists also found a hole, likely caused by melted 
nuclear fuel. Radiation levels of up to 530 sieverts per hour were 
detected inside an inactive Reactor 2 at the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear 
complex damaged during the 2011 earthquake and tsunami catastrophe, 
Japanese media reported on Thursday citing the plant operator, Tokyo 
Electric Power Company (TEPCO). A dose of about 8 sieverts is 
considered incurable and fatal.

Fukushima nuclear reactor radiation called 'unimaginable', highest

Radiation levels inside a damaged reactor at the Fukushima Daiichi 
nuclear power station are at their highest since the plant suffered a 
triple meltdown almost six years ago. The facility’s operator, Tokyo 
Electric Power (Tepco), said atmospheric readings as high as 530 
sieverts an hour had been recorded inside the containment vessel of 
reactor No 2, one of three reactors that experienced a meltdown when 
the plant was crippled...in March 2011. The recent reading, described 
by some experts as "unimaginable", is far higher than the previous 
record of 73 sieverts an hour in that part of the reactor. A single 
dose of one sievert is enough to cause radiation sickness and nausea; 
5 sieverts would kill half those exposed to it within a month, and a 
single dose of 10 sieverts would prove fatal within weeks.

Nuclear officials killed study on whether reactors posed cancer risk 
to nearby residents | 04 Feb 2017 |

http://www.dailynews.com/environment-and-nature/20170204/nuclear-officials-killed-study-on-whether-reactors-posed-cancer-risk-to-nearby-residents

Federal regulators killed a rigorous examination of cancer in millions 
of Americans living near nuclear plants because they were convinced 
the study couldn't link reactors to disease and would be too c-stly, 
newly released records show. Doubts over the study's usefulness ran 
deep at the Nuclear Regulatory Commission, the agency overseeing [sic] 
America's aging fleet of nuclear plants...The previously unreported 
rift is captured in more than 1,000 pages of NRC documents obtained by 
Southern California News Group under the Freedom of Information Act.
