The Japan Times reports that Japan's federal Nuclear and Industrial Safety Agency (NISA) has admitted that the Fukushima Daiichi reactor meltdowns have thus far released 15,000 terabecquerels of radioactive cesium-137 into the environment, 168 times more Ce-137 than the 89 terabecquerels released by the U.S. atomic bombing of Hiroshima in 1945. NISA also now admits that Fukushima Daiichi's radioactive releases are thus far 1/6th of Chernobyl's in 1986.
