From his site –

“This week the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) visited Fukushima Daiichi, to investigate the accident, and TEPCO’s emergency response actions. At Fukushima, massive amounts of high radioactive waste have been created, with no clear plan for long-term or permament storage. Spent nuclear fuel is about 95% Uranium, another 1% consists of heavy elements such as curium, americium, and plutonium.  

As of May 18th 2011, almost 100,000 tons of radioactive water had leaked out of containment at Fukushima. The data also shows that the amount of radiated water may double by the end of December.”    .  .  .
