Top Russian Nuclear Official: Fukushima catastrophe matched our worst-case scenario — U.S. Gov’t Email: Radiation release thought to be 500 times higher than we calculated: "Vladimir Asmolov, Deputy Chief Executive Officer of Rosenergoatom (Russia’s state owned nuclear power operator), Jan. 1, 2014: “A huge wave flooded the area for just ten minutes, and the [Fukushima Daiichi] plant was not ready for that.
