The *Iodine in coastal water proximity indicates that there has been a water-leak from a core; perhaps not from a crack-breech but perhaps from the to/from pipework. WE NEED TO KNOW WHICH.

The *I half-life is so short that this will be a short-term issue.

What is of much more concern is the transport of long-half-life isotopes beyond the plant boundries. For instance,
is *Caesium 137 distributed beyond the plant?
Who is doing the monitoring if it is not the IAEA? and
why is the world's International agency being kept at arms-length? Why are we allowing this with, apparently, a collusion of silence?
