Meditations by candlelight for Fukushima

http://www.acandleforfukushima.com/

On the eve of the second anniversary of the nuclear accident we welcome an invitation from the Women from Fukushima ‘No more Nuclear Power’ group and we invite you to take part in a symbolic action to show solidarity with them.

Here is an extract from their invitation:

‘The enormity of the loss, of the damage caused by the nuclear accident, is truly infinite.
No declaration by the government that the “alarm has ceased”, nor its promise that our nuclear energy is “the safest in the world” can ever give us back the lives that have been lost, the families that have been split up, the friends that have been torn away from us, the loss of our houses, jobs and interior calm, or our beloved Fukushima.

That is why we shout out “NO” to the new government, who is on the verge of restoring the nuclear régime that existed before the tragedy, showing that they have learned nothing from Fukushima.
That is why we shall offer up prayers for the lives that have been sacrificed and those still in peril. During this period of recollection, which can bring us all together, we shall promise to do something concrete, within our reach, even the smallest thing, to bring about a change.

We hope that through our meditations by candlelight a new movement will spring from all the ideas of how we can change this society.’

Breaking! Sen. Boxer Believes that San Onofre Knew About Problems Years Earlier

In this special edition, Fairewinds analyzes a letter from Senator Boxer and Representative Markey that indicates that the problems at San Onofre were known to its owner, Southern California Edison, years before the steam generators were installed and rapidly failed. This statement by Boxer and Markey supports Fairewinds analysis of one year ago that indicates Edison took shortcuts to avoid public participation in a license amendment for San Onofre.

Lastly, Arnie Gundersen then discusses saltwater intrusions and what that means for Japan’s Hamaoka nuclear plant and how nuke speak is used to confuse the general public and press.

Terry Krieg from Port Lincoln in South Australia is a retired geology and geography teacher and a member of the Australian Nuclear Forum. He suggests that there are enormous environmental and economic opportunities for Australia in burying and removing the world’s nuclear waste from the environment forever and argues that this can be done safely.

Tokyo demonstrates against in force against nuclear power on eve of Fukushima’s second anniversary

Charles Digges, 10/03-2013

This article is the first in a series Bellona will be reporting from Fukushima and Tokyo.

http://www.bellona.org/articles/articles_2013/Fukushima_visit_demos_one

TOKYO – On the eve of the second anniversary of the Fukushima disaster – the worst nuclear catastrophe since Chernobyl – thousands of anti-nuclear demonstrators gathered here today to march from the city’s Hibeiya Park and deliver a petition to the Japanese government demanding an end to nuclear power in Japan. 

The protesters, from the elderly to small children and their parents, to the handicapped rallied and bore colourful banners and shouted through bull horns and megaphones demanding a shut down to Japan’s nuclear industry in a festive yet firm demonstration that engulfed central Tokyo.

“The Japanese nuclear industry has a long way to go in regaining public trust as shown by this weekend’s demonstrations,” said Nils Bøhmer, Bellona’s nuclear physicist and general manager, who is in Fukushima and Tokyo with other Bellona staff for the anniversary of the disaster.

“These demonstrations show that there is a broad spectrum of Japanese citizens opposed to nuclear energy, and these protests, which continue on a regular basis, have been somewhat ignored by the world at large,” he said.

Today’s gathering, was the second held this weekend – and a part of the ongoing demonstrations that have been held in front of Tokyo’s parliament each weekend since a triple core meltdown following the March 11, 2011, tsunami and earthquake at the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant.

Marchers also delivered their petition to politicians who stand in opposition to the Liberal Democratic Party of Prime Minister Shinzo Abe, who has reinvigorated Japan’s drive to restart nuclear reactors that were shut down after 3/11, as it has come to be known.

One such politician was former Prime Minister Naoto Kan, who lost his post largely due to his handling of the Fukushima crisis, but who has re-emerged as a member of parliament as a staunch anti-nuclear advocate. Abe overturned Kan’s promise to make Japan nuclear free by 2040.

The vast majority of protesters interviews by Bellona were especially concerned by Abe’s government. One told Bellona, “We realize we are dealing with a government that is not sympathetic to our cause,” who added, “This was not the case a year ago.”

But the message from the Japanese public seems more urgent now than it did even a year ago as progress on decommissioning the smouldering, highly radioactive remain of the plant seem ever more distant.
