Tepco has held an emergency drill based on assuming a worst case earthquake near Tokyo Bay... Japan is experiencing a “scorching” heat wave reminiscent of record-setting 2010... This week’s antinuclear rally in Tokyo was on Sunday, in blistering-hot temperatures of 95F (35C)... Surprisingly, a few of the Tokyo demonstrators were not opposing nuclear restarts. They were protesting the tsunami of fear, uncertainty and doubt that has harmed the Tohoku region since 3/11/11... The Diet’s political parties are in a quandary over how to communicate with antinuclear protestors. It seems the size and persistence of the weekly demonstrations in Tokyo has caught lawmakers unawares... An antinuclear meeting contaminated by the Hiroshima Syndrome was held in Fukushima City last week.
