ABC Science Show - Japan one year after its earthquake and tsunami‏

Nice update on the Fukushima disaster last year. Makes a lot of points which can easily be overlooked: the real tragedy was the tsunami not the nuclear accident, even an out of date nuclear reactor with design flaws hit by a once in a 1,000 years disaster combined with human error has yet to result in one human death (pretty amazing), and the real heroes were the Fukushima 50. There is also discussion of the effects on area produce.
