  • Poisoned Fields
    Part 1: The Painful Evacuation of a Japanese Village
    By Cordula Meyer
    www.spiegel.de
    "Contamination levels in the Japanese mountain village of Iitate are higher than in some parts of the Chernobyl exclusion zone. Its evacuation has been a painful process for residents -- and many are more afraid of resettlement than they are of radiation."

    Part 2: Deciding to Stay
    www.spiegel.de
    " "They say: As long as people are protected from the radiation, have a roof over their heads and enough food to eat, everything is just great." But the people in Iitate feel connected, he says, to their houses and to the village they call home. "TEPCO is responsible for their loss," says the mayor.
    The Japanese government is apparently anxious to prevent such anger from reaching public ears. During the interview, an employee from the powerful Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry (METI) suddenly appears. Kanno falls silent in the middle of a sentence, and then he is led away by the man from METI."

  • Fukushima effect: Japan schools take health precautions in radiation zone At first sight, there seems little out of the ordinary on this wet afternoon for the pupils of Oyama primary school.

    They wave from classroom windows as they rush to finish the day's cleaning chores. Outside, the wind and rain sends the school's pet rabbits into a retreat deep inside their hutches.

    But buried beneath the surface of the school playing field is evidence that life in this village, about 40 miles from the Fukushima No 1 nuclear power plant, is far from normal: a large quantity of radioactive soil, wrapped in tarpaulin. www.guardian.co.uk

  • Japan's Artisanal Sake Industry Revives After Quake. As cruel as disasters can be, they can also bring needed change — and even miracles. When the March 11 earthquake and tsunami hit sake brewery Hitakami in the city of Ishinomaki, owner Takahiro Hirai thought it was the end. Since the brewery's founding in 1861, the family-run boutique sake business had survived numerous natural calamities. But this one was worse. When the violent shaking of the earthquake subsided and Hirai was able to wade through the knee-high tsunami water, he headed for the kura, the sturdy but old wooden structure where Hitakami's artisanal sake has been brewed for five generations.

  • Earthquake hits Niigata, no tsunami alert
    A medium-strength earthquake hit Niigata Prefecture north of Tokyo on Thursday morning. But no major damage has been reported and a nuclear power plant in the prefecture is unharmed.
    The earthquake hit at 11:33 AM local time. Japan's Meteorological Agency estimates the quake's magnitude at 4.7, with its focus in the prefecture.
    Tremors with an intensity of 5 plus on the Japanese scale of 0 to 7 were registered in Tokamachi City in the prefecture, and an intensity of 4 in Tsunan Town, also in Niigata.
    Weaker tremors were felt in other parts of Niigata, the southern Tohoku region, the Kanto region and Nagano Prefecture. But no tsunami alerts were issued.
    About 3 minutes after the quake, an aftershock with an estimated magnitude of 2.9 struck the region.
    A series of aftershocks have occurred in wide areas including in Niigata following the March 11th quake in northeastern Japan.

  • Wastewater rises, fears mount
    The operator of the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant is struggling to remove pools of highly radioactive wastewater as fears of an overflow get more intense.

    Tokyo Electric Power Company says wastewater levels rose around 6 centimeters inside the No.2 reactor turbine building, and in its utility tunnel, during the 24-hour period through Thursday morning.

    Increases were also seen inside the No.3 and 4 reactor turbine buildings.

    The water level in the utility tunnel is now just 28 centimeters from the surface outside the No.2 reactor, and 24 centimeters from the surface outside the No.3 reactor.
    Tokyo Electric plans to start using a water purifier by the middle of this month. But as an emergency measure it's preparing to remove wastewater pooled inside the No.3 reactor turbine building to its turbine condenser.

    The utility is also considering using 2 additional buildings inside the compound as storage.

    The level of wastewater inside the No.1 reactor building dropped 8 centimeters on Thursday morning from Wednesday, unlike the other facilities.

    Tokyo Electric is measuring the level of radiation in groundwater near the plant to check for possible wastewater leakage.

  • @elainekirk It might be a good idea to think in a group way about what we think OUGHT to be done. I think there's general agreement that what they're doing isn't enough and that too much of their 'planning' is more public relations than an effective strategy for mitigating the disaster in any real way. It's easy, waaaayyyyy to easy, to express our disbelief and distress with their repeated deceptions and profit motive thinking, but in addition to that, what do we think they should do? I'm clueless and find it very discouraging, but we know they're not thinking clearly or without bias, in continuous panic and CYA mode, so maybe we should give some serious thought to what we think should be done--we as in those people with more knowledge than I have! Apply some group thought and research to the what should we do problem, and give some energy to an increasingly static situation?
