CNIC Statement Concerning Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant Nuclear Safety Commission's Response

Posted Thu, 31/03/2011 - 12:00am by admin

Nuclear Safety Commission: We want action rather than lip service to 'learning lessons'
Demands by Citizen's Nuclear Information Center

Many people are wondering, "What is the Nuclear Safety Commission doing?" At last it has come out in public. It is reported that the chairperson of the Nuclear Safety Commission has stated regarding the accident countermeasures, "We left that up to the initiative of TEPCO," and concerning earthquake safety, "They couldn't have designed it if a decision hadn't been made about the criteria." This is an evasion of responsibility.

Berlin / Munich. The consumer organisation foodwatch and the Environment Institute Munich eV have criticised the information policy of the federal government on food safety after the nuclear disaster in Japan. Federal Consumer Protection Minister Ilse Aigner has for days talked about "enhanced control measures" and "special protection standards" - but she does not inform the public about the fact that the EU-wide limits ​​for the radioactive contamination of foodstuffs from the affected areas in Japan have been increased over the weekend.

Petition Concerning Radiological Impact of Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Disaster

Posted Mon, 28/03/2011 - 12:00am by admin

The Honorable KAN Naoto, Prime Minister of Japan
The Honorable HOSOKAWA Ritsuo, Minister of Health, Labour, and Welfare

We respectfully submit the following demands, which summarize the queries we made to the Ministry of Health, Labour, and Welfare during negotiations on March 28, 2011.

1. The Ministry's call for the "active voluntary evacuation" of residents living within a 20 km to 30 km radius of the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Stations is irresponsible. Immediately issue a directive to evacuate that area and enlarge the evacuation zone commensurate with radiation doses.

Statement Concerning Evacuation from Area Surrounding the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant (No. 3)

Posted Sun, 20/03/2011 - 1:00am by admin

We Urge the Japanese Government to Take the Following Actions Regarding the Crisis at the Fukushima Nuclear Plants:

Despite strenuous efforts, there is an increasing danger that large amounts of radioactive material might be released from Unit No. 3, which is loaded with fuel containing plutonium. We are particularly concerned about the people currently within the 20-30 km zone from Fukushima Daiichi, who have been instructed to stay indoors until further notice. These people should be evacuated as quickly as possible far away from the nuclear plant.

“The recent accidents at Fukushima Daiichi and Fukushima Daini Nuclear Power Plants are severe and beyond the scope of nuclear-reactor design conditions. An extremely serious situation is continuing.”
Unfortunately, this statement remains true today.
