Japan’s efforts to move past Fukushima Daiichi disaster draws criticism from experts and jeers from public
Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe has been working bullishly to promote new economic and energy policies which are facing harsh scrutiny from the public and experts alike. The Japanese government has said that it expects positive effects to stem from its economic stimulus and growth strategy packages, but the consensus among private-sector economists is that the measures are nothing but “a shot in the arm with only short-term effects.”The Nuclear Regulation Authority held a meeting this week to announce their formal decisions related to new nuclear disaster prevention guidelines which will be established in the wake of the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear disaster. At the meeting, opinions shared with the NRA claimed that the 500 microsievert immediate evacuation criteria chosen by the government agency was “too high” and some even pointed out that there were no consideration for the potential accumulated dose which could be received over the course of a few days or weeks by infants and pregnant women.http://enformable.com/2013/02/japans-efforts-to-past-fukushima-daiichi-disaster-draws-criticism-from-experts-and-jeers-from-public/
