Unfortunately: pro-nuclear fuel cycle incumbent mayor was reelected…

June 24, 2018

The mayoral election took place in Rokkasho, Japan, on Sunday June 24th.

Here are the results :

The number of inhabitants having the right to vote: 8637

The number of votes: 5379

Invalid votes: 35

Voter turnout: 62.28%

M. Mamoru Toda, pro-nuclear fuel cycle incumbent mayor was reelected with 5021 votes.

Ms Junko Endo, anti-nuclear fuel cycle candidate gained 323 votes.

The results show the extreme difficulty of anti-nuclear movements in local elections. However, thanks to the courage of Junko Endo, 323 voters were able to express their desire to stop the nuclear fuel cycle, and many people in the world became aware of what is happening in Rokkasho Village.

Thank you Ms ENDO for your courage!

Thanks to all of you who sent encouraging messages to Ms Endo that were gratefully forwarded to her.

Let’s keep on following events in Rokkasho from all over the world!

The global nuclear industry is revving up, encouraged by the election of Joe Biden and Kamala Harris, who are now backers of (and perhaps backed by) the nuclear industry.

The pandemic and global heating are still top problems for the world. Most media cover these dangers. The one that they mainly leave out, is the nuclear threat – or worse, they mindlessly regurgitate handouts from companies like NuScale – enthusiastic promotion of small nuclear reactors.

For this reason – this website will now focus more directly on its original purpose – spreading information that exposes the corrupt and toxic worldwide nuclear industry.

(However, on this sidebar, we’ll still put in some alerts from climate science experts)
