What are the predictions for Japan's progress over the next 12 months?

Question:

My university's art department might cancel our trip to Japan in March 2012 because of the recent events. So my question is, what are some sources for predictions regarding Japan's recovery between now and next March regarding economy, reconstruction and the radiation in Tokyo? Please only reputable sources and nothing about the end of the world, okay? Thanks!

Answer:

It's too early to talk about March 2012. Thing might change so much. You have to wait at least until the nuke issue will be settled down.
