海外市民団体の見る日本の汚染瓦礫受入問題
細野豪志が野田の命によって、闇雲に進めている放射能瓦礫の全国での焼却処理。野田内閣の犯罪的な瓦礫拡散・大暴走の一方では、宮城県を始めとして、東北の被災地自治体の瓦礫処理能力は、県内処理が十分可能なまでに拡充していますが放射能瓦礫を全国拡散しなければならない、どんな根拠も失われているというのに、震災復興の大儀を利用して、環境省の利権の網を張り巡らせるようなことばかりやっている野田政権の災害復興担当の閣僚たち。「放射能瓦礫の焼却は、日本だけでなく世界の問題である」という認識が希薄。。。

Tokyo Soil Samples Would Be Considered Nuclear Waste In The US by Fairewinds Energy Education
While traveling in Japan several weeks ago, Fairewinds’ Arnie Gundersen took soil samples in Tokyo public parks, playgrounds, and rooftop gardens. All the samples would be considered nuclear waste if found here in the US. This level of contamination is currently being discovered throughout Japan. At the US NRC Regulatory Information Conference in Washington, DC March 13 to March 15, the NRC's Chairman, Dr. Gregory Jaczko emphasized his concern that the NRC and the nuclear industry presently do not consider the costs of mass evacuations and radioactive contamination in their cost benefit analysis used to license nuclear power plants. Furthermore, Fairewinds believes that evacuation costs near a US nuclear plant could easily exceed one trillion dollars and contaminated land would be uninhabitable for generations.

1 year from 3.11
Today March 11, across Japan, people paused at 2:46 pm - the moment the magnitude-9.0 quake struck a year ago - for moments of silence, prayer and reflection about the enormous losses suffered and monumental tasks ahead.
The areas most affected by last year's March 11, 2011 earthquake and subsequent tsunami that left 15,848 dead and 3,305 missing. continue to struggle. Thousands of people still remain without homes living in temporary dwellings.
Japan must rebuild dozens of ravaged coastal communities, shut down the crippled Fukushima Dai-ichi nuclear power plant and decontaminate radiated land so it is inhabitable again.
Please take a moment of silence for victims of 3/11.
先の震災で被災し亡くなられた方々のご冥福をお祈りいたします。。。

Faces of the Tsunami
The photographer Denis Rouvre spent a month last fall traveling the coast between Ishinomaki and Minamisoma, photographing the devastation, visiting the temporary housing and speaking to the survivors.
-Tamiko Sato, 86 ‘‘I don’t want to go back there. I found a body between the first and second floor in my house. I went back three or four times without noticing it. It was one of the two people who died in our town.’’
-Chie Kobayashi, 87 “During the earthquake, I just tried so hard to save my husband, who is 102. Walls fell down, but I made desperate efforts to save my husband.”
-Katsumi Suzuki, 72 ‘‘I am in a wheelchair. During the tsunami, I went to the second floor. Water came up to the second floor, up to my neck. All of my body was soaked.’’
-Shigeo Yamase, 63 ‘‘We should keep studying and developing nuclear-power generation to prevent accidents. I disagree with people who say that we should stop using nuclear power entirely. We should use it in a good way.’’
-Kiyoko Sato, 74 “I was with my husband at my sister-in-law’s when the earthquake happened. When I got back to Ishinomaki that evening, we were directed to sleep at the high school. I wasn’t able to get in touch with my sisters and sons for four days.”
-Kohei Itami, 77 ‘‘I can’t rush for things to be better. I try not to think far into the future. I take good care each day.’’
-Sachiko Adachi, 81 ‘‘I try now to find something to do every day that I can enjoy. I am knitting, which I hadn’t done for 20 or 30 years. And I started to paint.’’
-Takashi Momose, 69 “After the tsunami, it was an eerie silence. I was living by myself, so I really appreciated when a welfare commissioner visited me with food. I tried to survive on the food I had at home because I was afraid to go out. ... I learned later that I had been depressed for four months after the earthquake.”
-Masashiro Tateyama, 73 “I enjoy the community in the temporary housing facility. Since I have started gathering and talking with other people, I feel much better. If nobody cared about me and I didn’t have neighbors, I would think about suicide.”
-Tomoko Ujiie, 77 ‘‘Before all of this, I wanted to live with my daughter in Fukushima. Twenty years ago, we made a promise that we would live together. It’s difficult to give up on everything.’’
-Kiyoko Ishimori, 66 “My husband and I stayed on the second floor of our house for four days. After the flood waters receded, I went down to the first floor. The refrigerator had fallen down, but the refrigerator door was closed, with the food still inside. We were saved with that food.”
-Katsuyoshi Hayasaka, 71 “With the radiation, we have to fight with an enemy that we can’t see.”

Inside of Japan's Nuclear Meltdown
In the desperate hours and days after the Fukushima nuclear disaster, the fate of thousands of Japanese citizens fell into the hands of a small corps of engineers, firemen and soldiers who risked their lives to prevent the Daiichi nuclear complex from complete meltdown. This is their story, with rare footage from inside the plant and eyewitness testimony from the people on the front lines.

Then and Now
It has been nearly one year since a monstrous earthquake triggered atsunami that roared across Japan's coast on March 11, 2011, transforming once-pristine and thriving towns into waterlogged wastelands and sparking the world's worst nuclear crisis in a quarter-century.
In the last 12 months, some progress has been made in rebuilding lives, but much remains unfinished. Associated Press photographer David Guttenfelder, who chronicled the devastated towns in the aftermath of the disaster, has revisited these communities to see what has changed -- and what hasn't.

Inside the Fukushima I Nuke Plant Reactor 2 Containment Vessel (1/19/2012)
In an attempt to look at the damage inside one of its failed Fukushima reactors, the Tokyo Electric Power Co. (TEPCO) inserted an 8.5mm remote controlled endoscope and thermometer into the containment vessel of a failed reactor at the Fukushima Daiichinuclear plant.
The probe revealed corroded piping and dripping humidity, but did not reveal the water’s surface level, which TEPCO had expected to be as high as four meters. The containment vessel was flooded with seawater during the reactor meltdown when other attempts to cool it failed. Current water levels inside the reactor remain unknown.
The probe’s thermometer function proved more revealing; it recorded the interior temperature at 44.7 degrees centigrade (112 degrees Farenheit), demonstrating that the unit’s own thermometer, thought to be off by as many as 20 degrees, is still functioning accurately.
Steam and radiation affected the quality of the video, but you can see gamma rays — which are detected by the camera in a manner similar to light but not focused by the lens — in the footage looking like streaks and flashes.
