There is still a lot of (perceived) covering up and lack of information release going on in Japan around the Fukushima incident. Much of it never makes it to the mainstream news.
For example, relatively recent reports of
- doubled estimates of radiation released (http://www.businessweek.com/news/2012-05-24/fukushima-s-estimated-radiation-leak-doubles-versus-government http://www.businessweek.com/news/2012-05-24/fukushima-s-esti...)
- local government reports of a significant proportion of Fukushima children (36%) with abnormal thyroid growths (http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worldnews/asia/japan/9410702/Nearly-36pc-of-Fukushima-children-diagnosed-with-abnormal-thyroid-growths.html http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worldnews/asia/japan/9410702...). Something which should be extremely rare under normal circumstances and should solicit worldwide expert help.
There are also other reports of issues such as significant outbreak of diabetes in children of temporary dwellings in Fukushima but they are difficult to substantiate since not or no longer in formal Japanese press.
