Oh yeah he does!

Well I don't know what is considered "mainstream" media, but I've heard most of those stories.
I don't watch FOX.

These news "articles" only become sensational when placed in a suspicious context . . . whereas they are, and have been happening as a daily occurrance for years.
Not to mention 9 out of 10 times, if you actually read, say, the specific bill being introduced, or the background on the story etc. it's pretty straightforward.

Gundersen may be exaggerated, but if he's being "debunked" by pro nuclear factions, I'm suspicious (that's what I've read). There are also other sources of information on Fukushima, (Japanese gov and TEPCO themselves for example) which support the fact that this was a far worse and more far reaching issue than originally claimed.

A professor of theoretical physics at the City University of New York and the City College of New York, Kaku discussed some recent revelations about the disaster's impact, and noted that Japanese officials still don't yet have control at the site. "In the last two weeks, everything we knew about that accident has been turned upside down," Kaku says. "Now we know it was 100 percent core melt in all three reactors...now we know it was comparable to the radiation at Chernobyl."
Among Kaku's other distressing notes: Fukushima workers are exposed to a year's dose of radiation within minutes of entering the site, and cleanup will take between 50 to 100 years. "It's like hanging by your fingernails," he says. "It's stable, but you're hanging by your fingernails."

Kaku is awesome. Any time I see him while flipping through channels I stop and listen. Brilliant man.

LOL, I think Stephen Colbert interviewed Kaku to see if he could explain O'Reilly's infamous, "tide goes in , tide goes out." He's a great guy with the ability to explain complex subjects AND still have a sense of humor.
