More-than-expected damage found at Japan reactor, AP, May 12, 2011 at 12:08 pm EDT:
One of the reactors at Japan’s crippled nuclear power plant has been damaged more severely than originally thought, officials said Thursday — a serious setback for efforts to stabilize the radiation-leaking complex. [...]
The findings also indicate a greater-than-expected leak in that vessel. Radioactive water pouring from troubled reactors has pooled around the complex, hindering work to bring the plant under control. [...]
The low level of water indicates that the core of Unit 1 had a bigger breach than expected, said TEPCO spokesman Junichi Matsumoto. [...]

Scary maps. Are they real?

I commented on that website – the ratio between Iodine and Cesium on this map is what you expect. All previous animations had downplayed the Cesium – which is more dangerous. Iodine is a vapor, Cesium is an aerosol – only about 1/3rd of the Cesium makes it to the atmosphere in a leak, whereas almost all of the Iodine goes skyward. Seeing this animation have the correct ratio lends credence to it.

They are forecasts based on various computer models. But when levels in the rain start to correspond to the forecasts, and they have, then one can assume them to be somewhat accurate.

It is highly likely (almost a certainty at this point) that the “private” forecast maps are real. The comment here (by radegan) that the ratios of iodine to cesium are correct only in the private forecasts makes it even more likely.
Here is an analysis of five public vs private forecast images showing a clear and consistent pattern of levels that are in excess of 100-fold greater than the public images from Norway ever showed:

Oh really… I cant believe they going to end up having to do something unbelievable because they didn’t believe they needed to tackle this harder and with a proper dose of panic, we now walk to total panic… it’s like a threshold, you refuse to believe the breaks are off until your car falls from the cliff then you scream. ffs.

Obama says the best thing is to be fully informed, and that “You must know what I know ..”:

We do know that we’re not being fully informed and that data is being hidden.
Anything more we should know?
