Fukushima I

3rd Anniversary of 3.11 vigil/protest in front of the Japanese Embassy, London

Posted Sat, 01/08/2015 - 3:59pm by Martyn Lowe

It is the 3rd anniversary of our 3.11 leafleting vigil and protest on 7th August 2015. As it is a special occasion for all of us, we would like to organise our monthly READ-OUT of our
statement to the Japanese Prime Minister on this day instead of 31st July 2015.
.
In August in Japan it is reported that Kyushu Electric Power Company plans to apply to regulators for the final ‘applied safety inspection’ of Sendai nuclear power plant 1 on 3rd August. This check is expected to take one week, making 10th August a potential start-up date.

In the last few weeks, the mainstream media has started to catch up with what a shambles Fukushima has become. In July '13, those following the numbers closely were getting shocked. 3Rd July – 4,300,000 Bq/l six metres from the sea. 5Th July – 900,000,000 Bq/l in the test hole next to it.

Tepco must have known that for months, yet didn't say.

have taken part every week in this London picket.

The anniversary was not marked by any form of celebration, in
view of the fact that the disaster at Fukushima continues, and
indeed worsens.

Rather than celebrate this anniversary, Kick Nuclear will
