A team of researchers monitored muons at three locations outside an off-line nuclear plant in Ibaraki Prefecture, east of Tokyo, from February 2012 to December 2013

They should have started this in March or April of 2011. This isn't new technology. Los Alamos National Laboratory was announcing the use of muons to detect nuclear material back in 2005. Still, better late than never.
