http://robinwestenra.blogspot.com/2017/02/record-radiation-levels-at-fukushima.html
http://www.sciencealert.com/radiation-levels-in-the-fukushima-reactor-have-started-unexpectedly-climbing

Quote: "Radiation levels inside the plant's No. 2 reactor were estimated at 530 sieverts per hour at one spot, Tokyo Electric Power Co (TEPCO) said Thursday after analyzing images taken by a manually operated camera that probed the deepest point yet within the reactor. Even after taking a 30-percent margin of error into account, the radiation level was still far higher than the previous record of 73 sieverts per hour detected by sensors in 2012 though at a point not as deep, TEPCO said. Radiation exposure at 530 sieverts per hour would effectively shut down TEPCO's planned robot camera probe in under two hours."

http://fox40.com/2017/02/19/oroville-dam-workers-fired-for-posting-spillway-photos-to-social-media/

Quote: "Live streaming of the Oroville Dam is suggesting the spillway has been compromised and a whole section of concrete has been washed away. A large breach can be seen in the concrete slipway with a huge crack opening up further down. Residents are nervously watching the Oroville Dam and have packed their bags prepared to evacuate again if necessary."

Quote: "A spokesperson for the California Department of Water Resources told KRON that a number of employees working under the Folsom contracting company Syblon Reid violated the terms of their contract by posting the pictures. A Syblon Reid contractor had forbidden a spillway team from capturing any activities at the dam and sharing the footage via social media."

Note: Sounds like they don't want people to see how bad it is. So much for transparency...
