Fukushima Updates

Here's the topic summaries of today's Fukushima updates.
 
Nearly 90% of the Japanese public is willing to help dispose of 3/11/11 tsunami debris. This stunning poll-result challenges the popular notion that a majority of Japanese citizens oppose helping with rubble disposal due to radiation fears... Workers laboring in the recovery from the Fukushima accident suffer local discrimination (with link)... As the summer heats up across Japan, jellyfish swarms threaten to reduce thermal (fossil-fueled) power plant outputs and strain the country’s already-thin electrical supplies... Today marks the 67th anniversary of the atomic bombing of Hiroshima. Aging survivors, relatives, government officials and foreign delegates attended the annual ceremony at Hiroshima Peace Memorial Park commemorating the US bombing. As with last year, the ceremony served to continue confusion between reactors and bombs.
