Commentary -
Japan’s Nuclear Information Library Closed by Tokyo... One of Japan’s
few sources of rational nuclear information has been eliminated! Does
the government want the ultimate nuclear energy decision to be made
based on political rhetoric, innuendo and groundless rumors? It seems
that they do, and the people of Japan are the ones who will suffer the
consequences.
Updates - Representatives of 46 newspapers in
Japan have met to analyze their collective news coverage of the
Fukushima accident. Most say they want nukes abolished... Many food
stores in Japan have set their own radioactive Cesium limits, below
the national standard of 100 Becquerels per kilogram to boost sales...
The first detailed radiation survey within 3 kilometers of F. Daiichi
has begun... Prime Minister Noda has “reshuffled” his cabinet and has
met with considerable concern in Fukushima Prefecture where officials
fear the change will only add more delays to the on-going
decontamination efforts... As expected, Hakodate Mayor Toshiki Kudo has
announced formal plans to file legal action against the resumption of
nuclear construction at the Ohma power station... A colleague in Japan
has sent us a link to the English translation of an award-winning essay
on the socio-political and psychological repercussions of Fukushima.
