Three years after 311
Three years have passed since the great earthquake in Tohoku, Japan and the nuclear disaster of Fukushima-Daiichi. You may think that the nuclear accident is now "under control," and that Japan is overcoming the difficulties. It may seem so, but that is not true.
Fukushima-daiichi's clipped nuclear reactors are still emitting a huge amount of radioactive substances into the air (more than 240 million Bq per day), and much more into the ocean. Thirty-three children in Fukushima have been diagnosed with thyroid gland cancer, though it is said "nothing to do with Fukushima-daiichi nuclear accident."
I've had enough. Thyroid gland cancer is a rare illness which you can find one out of a million children. How come it is "nothing to do with" Fukushima-daiiichi?
You may think that many of us are worried about children suffering from cancer and we are all afraid of nuclear power stations, but it is not true. Most of people in Japan are still swallowing what the government says, and make children eat food produced in Fukushima for an economic reason. Prime minister Shinzo Abe and big companies are doing whatever they can to restart all the nuclear power plants in Japan which have been idling since Sep. 15th in 2013.
Is Japan occupied by economic animals?
I am at a loss with greater grief than ever.
All I can do is pray and do whatever I can to save children from radioactivity.
