Three years after remembering Fukushima
During the first weekend of March, hundreds of people demonstrated in Tokyo that the Japanese Government had cut the way to hold TEPCO accountable.
Officially, there have been no deaths from radioactivity, but 1,656 from stress or illnesses related to the nuclear accident.
Three years after the explosion of the plant, the Government is authorizing the residence of Fukushima in different areas of Fukushima Prefecture. People are slowly coming back, especially poor and humble people, because the rich have migrated to islands thousands of kilometres away.
Meanwhile, the news comes as splashes. In the countries affected by the Pacific, health problems of fish and birds are increasingly being detected, although for now they are rare: malformations, changes in migratory habits... In Fukushima, the number of thyroid tumors is increasing in children. High-radiation areas appear in the prefectures of the Fukushima area without any logic. Etc.
