Fukushima Unit 3 steaming again, third time in a week — Asahi: High radiation levels detected near where it was observed — Tepco does not know where it's coming from (PHOTOS)

AFP, July 24, 2013: [...] Today, TEPCO said workers had noticed steam around the fifth floor of the building housing Reactor Number 3, which was wrecked by the tsunami of March 2011. It was the second time in two days and the third time in a week that steam had been observed. The firm has said there has been no increase in the amount of radioactive material being released, although it does not know where the steam is coming from.

TEPCO, July 24, 2013: Steam Found Near the Central Part of the Fifth Floor (Equipment Storage Pool Side) of Unit 3 Reactor Building at Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Station (Follow-up Information 12) [...] This is a follow-up report on the statuses of steam found wafting through the air near the central part of the fifth floor (equipment storage pool side) of Unit 3 on July 18. At around 4:15 AM today (July 24), we found steam coming from near the central part of the fifth floor (equipment storage pool side) of Unit 3 by a camera. [...]

Asahi, July 24, 2013: High levels of radiation were detected near an area where steam was spotted July 23 at the No. 3 reactor building of the stricken Fukushima No. 1 nuclear plant, Tokyo Electric Power Co., the plant operator, said. TEPCO gave a measurement of 562 millisieverts per hour. The Nuclear Regulation Authority, the government's nuclear industry watchdog, instructed TEPCO to investigate further because the dose level is high. [...]

Advance to 15:45 (Where she begins the Fukushima Report)
Abby Martin of Russia Today gives a brief (one and a half minute) report on Fukushima.

Real truth in reporting would begin by acknowledging or providing the fundamental truth that we have a TRIPLE NUCLEAR MELTDOWN going on RIGHT NOW!!!



Side Note:
I found this also reported in SURFER Magazine!
ARTICLE
RADIOACTIVE SEAS
Officials believe contaminated water leaked into ocean near damaged Fukushima nuclear reactors

‪http://www.surfermag.com/features/rad...



Unfortunately, they use language in this article that minimizes the extent of what is going on. They report about the accident as having happened and infer that this is then somehow in the past.... But it is acknowledging it to some degree.

AND:

Lake Huron Nuclear Waste Dump

Michigan Senate passes resolution against Canadian nuclear waste dumping near Lake Huron.
