How is Japan's radiation problem doing?

Question:

I'm supposed to be going to Japan as an exchange student in August 2012 (my program will still be allowing us to go) but my mom said that if the radiation level is still high, then she won't let me go.
I can't find any direct news about the situation.
All the news I can find is about Japan, but there's really nothing about the radiation or the nuclear plant. If you know of a website that stays updated, please tell me! I'd really like to know!
(If I can't go to Japan, then I'll be going to Hong Kong)

Answer:

You're not looking in the right places :-)

Here is a site that has current, factual information with updates a few times per day:
http://www.iaea.org/newscenter/news/tsun…

The bottom line is: "So, in summary: there are some positive indications on the site; precautionary restrictions around the site on certain foodstuffs; and monitoring of the environment is continuing beyond the evacuation zone and at sea. No significant risk to human health has been identified."

So there won't be any problem with being an exchange student in August.
