This news article is regarding about the radiation leak in Fukushima nuclear plant after the tsunami hits Japan. Japan has more than doubled its initial estimate of radiation released from the crippled Fukushima nuclear plant after the tsunami. The nation's watchdog, the Nuclear and Industrial Safety Agency (NISA), now says it believes 770,000 terabecquerels escaped into the atmosphere in the first week -- compared to its earlier estimate of 370,000 terabecquerels. The group's leader, a Tokyo University researcher on human error, Yotaro Hatamura, said at the meeting that "nuclear power has higher energy density and is dangerous. It was a mistake to consider it safe. In my opinion, I think that the NISA didn’t do their jobs well to prevent the incident from getting worse.
