I have some interesting articles to share.
First more leaks were found over the weekend.
More leaks feared at Japan's Fukushima nuclear plant - CNN.com
Next an older article. The radioactivity is increasing in a well and the scientists dont know why.

In mid-July, levels of radioactive cesium-137 and cesium-134 from monitoring wells inside the plant unexpectedly surged nearly 15-fold, a phenomenon that scientists have been unable to explain.

Its still doing that and its now even worse. I will post the link when I find it.
Latest Radioactive Leak at Fukushima: How Is It Different?
Next the groundwater radiation is peaking and it will be reaching the sea soon.
Fukushima Groundwater Shows Record Radiation Levels

Now, 2 1/2 years later, experts fear it is about to reach the ocean and greatly worsen what is fast becoming a new crisis at Fukushima: the inability to contain vast quantities of radioactive water.
The looming crisis is potentially far greater than the discovery earlier this week of a leak from a tank that stores contaminated water used to cool the reactor cores. That 300-ton (80,000-gallon) leak is the fifth and most serious from a tank since the March 2011 disaster, when three of the plant's reactors melted down after a huge earthquake and tsunami knocked out the plant's power and cooling functions.
But experts believe the underground seepage from the reactor and turbine building area is much bigger and possibly more radioactive, confronting the plant's operator, Tokyo Electric Power Co., with an invisible, chronic problem and few viable solutions.

Btw we have a gieger counter for radioactivity. The count has risen from 14 clicks before the disaster to 30 clicks now. And we dont even live on the west coast.
