The man who wanted to bring the sun down to the earth

At the beginning of this TALE there is no “bazein behin…” and so there is the crux of the Fukushima nuclear accident. After that, it was announced that it was not going to be anything like nuclear power and it may be, but the power and interests of the nuclear lobby are too great in the world to delay nuclear energy.

The attitude of the big media – and most of the smaller ones working in their inertia – towards what is happening in Japan in the last year is the clearest evidence of this: Information about the state of the Fukushima Daiichi power plant has been constantly hidden; the real numbers of all deaths; what is happening as a result of radioactivity; the lies of Tepco, the narrow state of the displaced…

However, the loopholes in information are becoming more and more numerous and the complete concealment of the truth becomes more and more difficult. Anyone who wants to know something about what is happening in Japan can do it. This year Argia has offered a lot of information about this accident (in the blog of Pello Zubiria you will find full and rich information) and in this same issue there is also a valuable testimony of the mayor of Futaba, Katsutaka Idogawa; dozens of voices and news of this kind must be disseminated, in order to bring a little closer the meaning of the sicary to the current consequences of the Fukushima accident.

The nuclear lobby continues to sell that the risk of an accident in the world could happen every 240 years, but recent history is able to unravel one of its round lies.

In the last three decades, from 1979 to 2012, there have been three serious nuclear accidents in the world: Three Mile Island (United States, 1979), Txernobil (Ukraine, 1986) and Fukushima Daiichi (Japan, 2011). Of course, the accidents have been many more: How many of them would have been the ones who have barely reached the big accident? Seeing governments act with nuclear information, the question is not naïve or challenged rica.TEPCO JAPANESE and its authorities are continuously demonstrating that the situation is

under
control, but the reality is darker than expected. Only 2 of the 54 nuclear reactors in Japan are in operation today. Although TEPCO says that the situation of the three most dangerous reactors in Fukushima Daiichi is cold controlled, in recent weeks there have been new fires, but the temperature at which they have been received has not been made known; monitoring is not complete in the three reactors that have collapsed; the situation of the two reactors 1, 2 and 3 is not exactly known; there is no information on the radiated water.

It can be said, of course, that within one, five or ten years we will know what has happened and what is happening today. Like many others affected, the Katsutaka Idogawa cry mentioned above is serious: “Talk about us, tell us what is happening to us. Tell me how scandalous it is that people and people sacrifice in the name of nuclear. Tell the world that we have to take care of the environment. The dispersal of radioactive contamination in nature, which is being carried out by the Government of Japan, must put a stop to this situation. If not, let’s contaminate the entire planet!”

And I, once again, have to resort to a quote by Alfonso del Val (Larrun, June 2011) to locate where the core of nuclear energy is thought to be, in this case the quote by Ramón Margalef i López, a scientist who admired more than his: “Science says that Earth has taken four billion years to become a habitable planet, because single-celled, multicellular, microorganisms, invertebrates, vertebrates, etc. bacteria have developed successively. Everything has created an aerobic atmosphere, we have managed to filter the energy from the sun that would otherwise have killed us, and in the end, when nature has managed to control the giant nuclear power plant, it has leaked to existence. How will the story end?
