The meltdowns at Fukushima
Daiichi Nuclear Power Station occurred three years ago on March 11, 2011 (and
the next few days thereafter). For three years TEPCO has been bungling remediation efforts while the life and health of everyone on this planet has
been seriously threatened by uncontained release of radiation, especially
in Japan. And it's going to go on for decades, if not centuries. Right now
Daiichi is in a state of collapse from every angle: infrastructure weakened,
manpower shortages, cooling systems deteriorating, lethally radioactive water
storage leaks, contaminated groundwater rising to the surface, electrical systems
highly vulnerable, with risk of a major earthquake taking it out
entirely.
In spite of all this, the PM
is energetically pushing nuclear technology to India, Korea, Turkey and
Vietnam. Japan's new Secrecy Law could make it a crime to investigate nuclear
issues; harassment and jailing of Japanese activists must
stop!
Most of us
have no illusion that the water is safe and that the marine products are safe.
We're giving up fish- BUT WE'RE NOT GIVING UP THE FIGHT!
We are taking to the streets
to demand action. No weak assurances of safety. We want
results. Here are a selection of events planned for 3.11 2014 that will bring
your voice to the fore, that will let your concerns be heard, that will
strengthen your heart, and your resolve. There's no turning back; Fukushima is
Here.
March 11, 2014 is important;
for one day we become one with Japan.
