400 devoted people arise for Fukushima
Yesterday a heartwarming news caught my eyes. While the Fukushima nuclear power plant is still on the way to recovery, 400 brave people raised their hands to join in the recovery work there in Fukushima. The 400 are old people, actually most of them are retired people. But they are really highly experienced in the nuclear power techniques [...]
Fukushima residents’ stress by the power plant
There are so many people being worried about radiation level around their houses. Especially in Fukushima Prefecture, measuring it is a kind of daily job for the people living there. Nobody cared radiation level before the accident, while, now they are really keen on the figure the Geiger counter shows. It's a tragedy, however, keeping [...]
Fukushima chose money without thinking much
For a long time, I ever lived in Fukushima Prefecture where the ongoing nuclear accident at the power plant exists. Being away from the center of the country, Tokyo, I really feel that people living in rural area are under unfortunate destiny taking much risk instead of the large cities like Tokyo. People in Fukushima are often not aware of [...]
IAEA visited Fukushima Nuclear Power Plant
I'm busy recently. Updating news of Japan here everyday is a little tight work now. Some remarkable news reached me in Japan during the absence of my updating task. Yesterday, IAEA members visited Fukushima Nuclear Power Plant. What impressed me most of all was that they stayed there for about 5 hours and they even checked the plant [...]
Injustice of Law
Ten to one, directors of Tokyo electricity companies or related politicians of Fukushima Nuclear Power Plant ( or in a broader sense, the positively committing politicians on nuclear power policy of Japan) will not be standing on the court for their guilty of this nuclear accident of Fukushima. This is easily supposed, at least from my [...]
What’s going on in Japan…..?
Looking at recent Japan through media, what I felt most was that we, of course "me" most of all, are incapable in our society. We may be able to help each other in this kind of crisis time, but we can't change Japan. We may know a little about what they do in government, but all we know is only the permitted information by government or [...]
Koriyama City in Fukushima Prefecture
I went to Koriyama City of Fukushima Prefecture today. Koriyama City is a biggest city of commerce in Fukushima Prefecture and it's located 55 kilometer away from the Fukushima Nuclear Power Plant. 20 kilometer circled area and some other dense radiation area are prohibited trespassing. Koriyama is not especially picked up as warning area, [...]
Shame on you, dear president !
"Immunity from compensation to victims could be considerable" This is a comment remarked by Tokyo electricity company's president, Masataka Shimizu. Of course, this news put huge fire on the hearts of good-natured citizens of Japan. Lords of comments against this idea are on the website of Yohoo Japan by contributors. Yet the accident is [...]
A castle of my mind
Today I came back home after 2 week tour. On the way home, I stopped over at an old castle place where I used to play in my childhood. To my big surprise, the castle is not in the same shape as I have known since I was a child. Of course all because of the earthquake, heavy damage was brought to this castle, too. Seeing this scenery, [...]
Please Resign
Masataka Shimizu, President of Tokyo Electricity Company, today attended at parliament of Japan for interviews about nuclear power plant status in Fukushima. There are still many pros and cons on his decision or attitude toward the settlement of nuclear accident. I think today's biggest concern for evacuating people staying in camps is his [...]
