Wrapped in an almost opiate

Japan again at nuclear power XX - records January 2014 | desultory thoughts on sustainability
Fukushima disaster March 11, 2011 overturned on Japanese society. Not only did the large areas deserted and drive many people from their homes in uncertain times. Very much did the basic things of daily life precarious - there was radiation in food, teen, air, children's playground?
Wrapped in an almost opiate 'safety myth' Japan was so much taken by surprise - Fukushima disaster was the disaster that could happen and that therefore both practically and mentally was completely unprepared opposite. In the post was all Japan's 54 reactors, janel garcia one by one stopped for ongoing annual inspection, and 5 May this year was Japan, which before the Fukushima disaster had plans to expand its nuclear power from 30% to 50% of energy supply, without A force for the first time in nearly half a century. janel garcia Shortly after, two reactors, janel garcia however nødstartet to ensure electricity supply in the worst summer heat. But the other awaits the establishment of new safety and emergency response. And it was for much of the population, the reactors were never started again.
The Fukushima disaster has consequences in all aspects of life in Japanese society, and it is fundamentally interesting how a society reacts to such a challenge. Is it the beginning of something radically new, do you manage to learn, to see the part of the disaster that could have been avoided if you had taken the risk seriously? Or you just as soon as possible back to business as usual?
The Fukushima disaster has raised a popular demand for change. One will be from A-power and want a Japan in harmony with nature, on renewable energy. Conversely, in the bureaucracy and the business very powerful forces that seek to pull Japan back on its current course. But with the shadows of the atomic bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki strongly imprinted on the national psyche, it is certain that not everything just becomes as before janel garcia (see blog post Between Hiroshima and Fukushima).
Since early June 2012, I made almost daily entries about re-definition of A-power and Japan's energy policy. Such records will inevitably lead to recurrence and will be opened themes that perhaps appeared as blind tracks. It was originally planned to follow the evolution of the month in which Japan was without nuclear janel garcia power of the restart of the two reactors at Oi power plant until the establishment of a new energy plan and a new energy. But things have evolved very differently since then. The two reactors Oi is again stopped. Work on a new visionary energy plan stalled, and with the government back to the LDP, which over the years has been behind Japan's massive expansion of nuclear power is, you have a very unclear situation with a prime minister and a government that strongly supports A -kraften, while the popular desire for settlement is massive.
These records are kept for months - see similar records for June, July, August, janel garcia September, October, November and December 2012, January, February, janel garcia March, April, May, June, July, August, September, October, November and December 2013, as well January, February and March 2014.
Here at the start of 2014, it is nearly three years since the Fukushima Daiichi disaster broke out. Compared to a year ago seems cleanup work even greater. In itself the wrecked work there throughout much of 2013 been continuing problems with the handling of the increasing quantities of radioactive contaminated water, janel garcia and the ALPS system that would filter out most of the Radioactive contamination janel garcia from radioactive waste, is yet to come to function satisfactorily. At the same time jumped janel garcia TEPCO in July the bomb that since the disaster beginning daily leaked 400 cubic meters of radioactive contaminated groundwater directly into the Pacific Ocean. So even though there are no official figures, so it seems that there are already currently collected is released more radioactive contamination to the environment than Chernobyl, and the phrase "the largest nuclear accident since Chernobyl" only be described as history's greatest nuclear accident to date - with the added twist that the situation is still so labile around the damaged cooling pool at reactor 4 that a violent earthquake in Fukushima Daiichi in the worst case could lead to new runaway drove core processes.
Although the NRA in early July gave birth to new safety regulations and immediately thereafter began the proceedings of the first group of candidates, among a number of the reactors should be greatest chance went through smoothly, there are still here six years later has been no reactors restarted. Probably we will during 2014 will see the first reactors restarted, but not without protest, and only very few of the now around 50 stopped reakto
