Majia here: The article states that the EU started conducting stress tests on Japan's nuclear reactors over a year ago.The stress test results are not going to be released as planned. They have officially been delayed until fall.
[excerpts] "The tests examine the ability of reactors to survive
emergencies, including plane crashes and natural disasters such as major
earthquakes and tsunami.
"The EU had aimed to release the final results of the stress tests by June and make concrete recommendations at a summit. But on Thursday it announced that the final report will be published in the autumn because it will take more time to complete the tests...."

Majia here: Let us consider why the stress results are not being released. Perhaps this headline sheds some light on the situation:
Fukushima
Report Introduced by Top Official Hosono: “Other reactors are all in
considerably severe condition” — 14 total; Dai-ni, Onagawa, Tokai — “Extreme
situations, though not much has been broadcast” (VIDEO)
Majia here: Perhaps Tokai is one of the reactors that the EU does not want to release stress test results for.
Tokai had reported radiation leaks in March of 2011
Radioactive water leaked at Tokai in March 2012
In December 2011, a fire broke out at this reactor:

Kyodo: Ceiling at Japan reactor catches fire — Burns 110 m²
area in two hours — Just 100km from Fukushima http://enenews.com/japan-times-reactor-ceiling-catches-fire-burns-110-m%C2%B2-area-in-two-hours/comment-page-1
Might it be that the Tokai reactor is in dire condition also?

EXACTLY HOW MANY REACTORS IN JAPAN HAVE MELTDOWN AND ARE RELEASING RADIATION?
