On this the first anniversary of the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Disaster questions remain to be adequately and correctly answered on: is life in Japan back to normal? What lessons were learnt about the hugely funded nuclear industry? What do we really know about radiation and nuclear energy, (...)

As the first anniversary of the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear disaster arrives, the cover-up involving nuclear power is more extensive than ever.
The Big Lie was integral to the nuclear push from its start.
Promoters of nuclear power discounted the seriousness of nuclear plant accidents, although (...)
More people are opposed to nuclear power since the accident at the Fukushima No. 1 nuclear power plant, according to an Asahi Shimbun poll survey of seven nations.
The poll was conducted in May to gauge public perception of the accident and awareness of the use of nuclear energy to produce (...)
Chris Williams, author of Ecology and Socialism: Solutions to Capitalist Ecological Crisis, argues that support for nuclear power has no place in the green movement. Give the people what they want, What they want, what they want: Clean air and no pollution. — Jimmy Cliff
FEW PEOPLE can cut to (...)
With the 25th anniversary of the Chernobyl nuclear plant catastrophe having arrived, and with the disaster at the Fukushima nuclear complex still unfolding and radioactivity continuing to spew from those plants some people are asking: can nuclear power be made safe?
The answer is no. Nuclear (...)
From the very beginning, unlocking the power of the atom for “peaceful” energy production was about waging war to its logical endpoint: the power to destroy life on a planetary scale.
People around the world were aghast at the apocalyptic destruction wreaked on Japan during a few hellish minutes (...)
A friend from the movement asked me my thoughts on George Monbiot’s article in the UK Guardian about how Fukushima actually converted him to nuclear power . George summarizes the Fukushima incident as follows:
“A crappy old plant with inadequate safety features was hit by a monster earthquake (...)

March 27, 2011 — Green Left Weekly — Prominent British columnist George Monbiot announced in the British Guardian on March 21, (...)
Renewable energy is a safe, clean source which will become cheaper as we invest in it.
George Monbiot argues of nuclear energy that the absence of less harmful alternatives has “converted me to the cause” (Why Fukushima made me stop worrying and love nuclear power, 21 March ). He says he is (...)
Harvey Wasserman is an expert on energy issues, the author of numerous books and articles ) and a veteran of the anti-nuclear movement. He talked to Eric Ruder about the consequences of the nuclear catastrophe in Japan—and the answer to the claim that nuclear power is the cleanest way to produce (...)
Dear friends,
Right now, Japan is undergoing the worst nuclear catastrophe since Chernobyl. Four reactors have partially melted down, huge amounts of radioactivity has been released, and a poisonnous cloud could could spread through Japan and even further.
The catastrophe is not over. In (...)
These are stressful times for the nuclear power industry, but we’re far from seeing any white flag of surrender. A White House spokesman tells reporters that nuclear power “remains a part of the president’s overall energy plan.” Edwin Lyman of the Union of Concerned Scientists emphasizes that “the (...)
The gravity of the situation is worsening by the hour at the site of the nuclear power station at Fukushima, in Japan. The managers of the installations are apparently no longer in control of the sequence of events. The risk is growing of a disaster as serious, indeed more serious, as that of (...)
Many have praised the Japanese people’s resilience and preparedness in response to the earthquake and tsunami which has killed thousands of people with many more unaccounted for.
But as a second explosion at the Yukushima nuclear plant releases another blast of radiation into the atmosphere, (...)
Once again the evidence shows that nuclear technology can never be 100% secure. The risks are so frightening that the conclusion is obvious: it is imperative to abandon nuclear energy, and to do so as quickly as possible. This is the first lesson of Fukushima, one which raises absolutely (...)
Where the first two catastrophes were natural and unpredictable, a nuclear meltdown is entirely unnatural and entirely predictable.
Whereas the 2010 Gulf Oil spill showed the inherent dangers of the oil economy, the current nuclear crisis in Japan shows that nuclear power is not a solution. As (...)
The tragedy in Japan has aroused worldwide solidarity due to the loss of thousands of human lives and of vast regions and cities caused by the magnitude 9 earthquake and subsequent tsunami that devastated major parts of Japanese territory. The undersigned networks, organizations, and (...)
