NISA admits radioactive cesium fallout from Fukushima 168 times worse than that from Hiroshima atomic bomb

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.
