This is pretty standard when a serious earthquake happens. Takes at least 2-3 days for the real news to get out. I remember being in the San Fernando earthquake (1971) and the news reports said that it was just a minor quake. We were without running water for a week. Go figure.

Exactly my concern. TESCO and Japanese officials all ran in front of cameras and microphones advising there was no release and no danger to the public. 24 hours later an entirely different picture emerges.
It is obvious that public affairs people will say anything with complete ignorance and concern of what the actual situation is.
This only erodes public confidence and complicates recovery efforts.
Personally I believe we need to greatly expand nuclear energy production here in the US.
