On the morning of August 6th 1945 the Japanese port city of Hiroshima was destroyed by the world’s first atomic bomb — and the nuclear age began. In August 2012 a major international medical conference was held in Hiroshima to explore ways to reduce all forms of nuclear threat. In the shadow of the continuing Fukushima nuclear crisis, this meeting was a powerful place for a renewed call for action from all countries — including Australia. ACF’s nuclear campaigner Dave Sweeney sends this message from Hiroshima.

Postcards from Japan: Fukushima housing

 

Dave Sweeney sent this message from an ’interim’ accommodation facility housing residents affected by the stricken Fukushima nuclear complex.

Around 150,000 Japanese people remain unable to return to their homes because of continuing radiation contamination from the stricken Fukushima Daiici nuclear reactor complex. Their communities have been disrupted, lives turned upside down and the social impacts of the accident have been profound. In August 2012 ACF representatives visited and spoke with re-located residents in an ’interim’ accommodation facility that is now home to re-located residents from where ACF’s nuclear campaigner Dave Sweeney sends this message.
