Level change note...

Apparently the official word by the NSC in Japan of the raising of the INES level for the Fukushima Daiichi accident is coming soon at a press conference. Although it's not official, it's on every news wire in Japan, was reported by Mr. Nishiyama of the NISA and also by Chief Cabinet Secretary Edano, so that all that's really left to do is have an NSC spokesman confirm it. Half an hour ago, Mr. Edano said the announcement would come soon.

UPDATE: And come soon it did, in a NISA press conference very shortly after I originally made this posting... at about 11 AM Tuesday 4/12 Tokyo time.
