Fukushima’s Former Residents Return Home To Ghost Town | 3tags

In “Retracing Our Steps,” French photographers Carlos Ayesta and Guillaume Bression asked some of the 80,000 nuclear refugees forced to evacuate areas near Fukushima to return to the places they once knew, a process that took nearly four years of detective work and jumping through administrative hoops. What they found was a world that had become almost unrecognizable, but also stories that were deeply human, calling to mind Auden’s famous poem “Musée des Beaux Arts...”

No to Trident in the UK

Dear Russell, On 27th February I’ll be marching as part of the biggest mobilisation against nuclear weapons in a generation and  I am writing in the hope that you might be willing to  join me to help Stop Trident. Nuclear weapons belong in the past and the £100bn  (and rising) cost of replacing Trident would be  better spent on things that can genuinely  make us safer and more secure. Creating jobs,  building schools & hospitals, giving everyone  in the world access to clean water and conflict prevention.  Watch this video to find out more. It would also be a game changer in tackling what  everyone from President Obama to Tony Blair have called  the most significant security threat of our time:  climate change. £100bn could make 15 million homes  warmer or build 100,000 wind turbines – enough to power  all households in the UK. Will you help spread the word by sharing this video  via social media? You can also share with your MP  and ask them to vote against replacing Trident. It’s time to move on from Trident and I hope you’ll join  me in being part of a better future. Yours, Caroline PS sharing this video will help build momentum.  Please help me do that and I hope to see you at  the march on 27th February.

Less than one lifetime: Eyewitness to nuclear development, from Hunters Point to Chernobyl and Fukushima, issues a warning

While sorting through papers, correspondence, news clippings, records etc., I realized that nuclear bomb and nuclear power development has occurred within my lifetime. It was July 16, 1945, when Trinity, the first atomic bomb, was detonated at Alamogordo nuclear site in New Mexico, followed by the uranium bomb dropped on Hiroshima and the hydrogen bomb on Nagasaki in August...

Kan, Jaczko, Gundersen, Bradford and Nader -- Nuclear Power Through the Fukukshima Perspective | Enformable

by Karl Grossman - - It started this June in California. Speaking about the problems at the troubled San Onofre nuclear plants through the perspective of the Fukushima nuclear complex catastrophe was a panel of Naoto Kan, prime minister of Japan when the disaster began; Gregory Jaczko, chairman of the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) at the time; Peter Bradford, an NRC member when the Three Mile Island accident happened; and nuclear engineer and former nuclear industry executive Arnie Gundersen.

This week the same panel of experts on nuclear technology—joined by long-time nuclear opponent Ralph Nader—was on the East Coast, in New York City and Boston, speaking about problems at the problem-riddled Indian Point nuclear plants near New York and the troubled Pilgrim plant near Boston, through the perspective on the Fukushima catastrophe.

Their presentations were powerful...   more > Kan, Jaczko, Gundersen, Bradford and Nader -- Nuclear Power Through the Fukukshima Perspective | Enformable
