  • THE SPRING WILL COME
    Satan, you are going too far.
    Mysterious death of thousands of children
    Those whom radiation killed
    Will not their ghosts ask you
    And what you won’t answer
    Is the only thing they will ask
    What you do is the only thing
    You should not do
    Super Powers’ threat I hear
    And they hear me
    I know what they are doing
    They are conspiring
    They are inventing false god-
    Nuclear bomb piled on nuclear bomb
    Why not come to the point
    Nonviolence must act decisively
    Social, economic boycott
    Marching, picketing, blockade of nuclear plants
    Will convert the opponent
    And Gandhis could be trusted
    The spring will come
    I am certain
    To disintegrate ruler’s power
    Follow Gandhi
    I don’t want another Hiroshima
    So I keep nonviolent coercion alive
    To keep the Earth alive
    To keep Earth’s Poetry alive

  • Merry Christmas, everybody!
    @lillymunster when I read about the sentiments in the control room after the earthquake, I remembered reading in the NISA report that the resident government inspectors pretty much immediately decamped, according to instruction, to go find the key for their dysfunctional emergency coordination center. I believe that was a grave mistake with which the government forfeit first hand knowledge of the events at the plant. They should have left one behind with a phone.
    by Peter 12/25/2011 2:47:02 PM

  • @Peter yes they should have. Someone from the govt should have stayed on. If nothing else they might have been able to help somehow.

  • @lillymunster , also remember that tepco waited for several hours with the wetwell venting of Unit 1 on the following morning, because the plant manager was unsure whether the evacuation of the public had been completed. Kan had visited earlier. I don't know whether he left anyone behind. If he did, it obviously did not help.
    by Peter 12/25/2011 3:17:43 PM

  • @Peter i think they were still trying to get the offsite building working. Did they ever get it useable? I know it ended up full of radiation because the air handling didnt work without power

  • A Hose of Water Cooling System Got Expanded at Reactor 3. 12/24/2011 ,they found a part of the resinic hoses of water cooling system which contains highly contaminated water at reactor 3 got unusually expanded.
    It is a hose for water circulation ,runs for 1.4km ,8cm diameter.
    One of the hoses got expanded for 2m ,so several wires around the hose were chopped.
    They found this accident on 12/22 by chance. They say ,there was no leakage of contaminated water.

  • @lillymunster hahaha thank for that article:

    "in Germany, children are indoctrinated to hate nuclear energy. German children don't become interested in politics at a young age; they are indoctrinated by their teachers to follow the politically correct herd."

    sorry ? is he talking about germany ?????

    "I doubt that any of these protesters even remotely understands how a nuclear plant works and what radiation is."

    quite the contrary. every protester understands it.

    "They presented Japan as a feudal, inhumane system, thus invoking the old fear of the "yellow peril"."

    this is stupid. the "yellow peril" is an anglicism, we don't use that term for japanese. we had no war against japan, we have no racist attitudes towards japanese, as the u.s might have. this sentence shows that the writer has absolutely no knowledge about germany, though he claims to be an austrian. we know about this term, but we do not use it.

    "German Chancellor Angela Merkel then broke the law by declaring that Germany would eliminate nuclear power eventually."

    sorry ? the chancellor breaks a law ? is that a joke ? she, resp. the german parliament, changed the law, that is very different to breaking a law. this is a democracy.

    "Worse, a German company deployed on a post-quake search and rescue mission fled Japan, fearing an imaginary nuclear death cloud."

    wrong. the german s&r team did not flee from japan, they left japan, because the govj told them that they are not necessary. of course, the germans paid for this stupid action.

    "Here's my challenge: How else should we produce electrical power? Wind? That's horrifyingly ineffective. Solar? Not cost-effective at all. And both are highly dependent on a nonlinear, chaotic system — the weather."

    yesterday the german energy agency announced that the renewable power share on power generation is now higher than the atomic power one in germany.

  • Merry Xmas ! ...but I’m writing because radionuclides don’t have Xmas vacation ,and if I’m shut up ,so many of Japanese people would lose their mouth to all over the world.
    There were so many news about the plants and the contamination situation ,but I put higher priority to report people having the low dose symptoms already ,such as the minami soma woman or Nakagawa Shoko ,and Noguchi ken etc..

  • @Edano he has written other opinion pieces for JT that seemed equally thought out and immature. I could find no person by that name to come up except some guy who is a web developer. I think the JT deserves some complaints for letting that one through. that is far beyond opinion and just someone's unfounded paranoid screed.
