This probably will get very wide play, not just within anti-nuclear activist channels, but elsewhere.

the problems that led to the disaster at Fukushima Daiichi exist wherever reactors operate.

Fukushima: The Story Of A Nuclear Disaster' Reveals New Insight Into Japanese Catastrophe International Business Times, By Roxanne Palmeron February 11 2014  The story of the 2011 catastrophe at Japan's Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant unfolds in a new book-length account from the Union of Concerned Scientists, a nonprofit advocacy group.

"Fukushima: The Story of a Nuclear Disaster" (The New Press) was penned by David Lochbaum, head of the UCS's Nuclear Safety Project (and a nuclear engineer for 17 years); Edwin Lyman, a senior scientist in UCS's Global Security Program; and journalist Susan Stranahan, who led the Philadelphia Inquirer's coverage of the Three Mile Island Accident in Dauphin, Pennsylvania (which earned the paper the 1980 Pulitzer Prize in local general reporting).

Lochbaum and his coauthors weave a fast-paced, detailed narrative that moves like a thriller -- but with the consequences painfully real, and the potential for a sequel hanging on the horizon.

"Fukushima Daiichi unmasked the weaknesses of nuclear power plant design and the long-standing flaws in operations and regulatory oversight," the authors write. "Although Japan must share the blame, this was not a Japanese nuclear accident; it was a nuclear accident that just happened to have occurred in Japan. The problems that led to the disaster at Fukushima Daiichi exist wherever reactors
operate.".......http://www.ibtimes.com/fukushima-story-nuclear-disaster-reveals-new-insight-japanese-catastrophe-1554714
