Dear all,

Thank you all for visiting, reading and sharing the news with me on the Fukushima Appeal Blog. I’ve kept it running since February 2012. Unfortunately, I will need some break now to attend to some of my health issues.

I would like to thank this blog and its supporters for giving me an opportunity to become a part of the slowly awakening global community during this very important time of global change. I had zero knowledge of nuclear before the Fukushima disaster, and was and still am a just normal citizen. It’s been hard to see Japan becoming a criminal, immoral and authoritarian country since the Fukushima Disaster. So it’s been a huge awakening and healing process to have a platform to speak out instead of feeling powerless, angry and sad about it. With the new secret law that is going to be introduced in Japan soon, Japanese people will need more help than at any other time in its history from foreign bloggers, doctors and scientists. Please remember Fukushima. I hope that the more difficulties we may encounter, the stronger and connected we will become to fight against injustice and be able to act from our heart space. (Mia)

日本の皆さん、がんばってください。 再稼動反対、子供を守れ! 1mSv/yの約束を守れ!

BBC Programs on Fukushima



There were 2 hour long program over the 2 weeks nearer to March 11 anniversary.  I watched both of them.  They were well documented and featuring how children have been feeling from their point of view which was very touching.  I heard lots of good comments from my friends who watched, especially about the second one with children in Minami Soma-city.  
However I was disappointed with these reasons.  First one was focused on first a few weeks of what happened at Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant, but I think it gave an impression that it was about the past because it never mentioned whats been happening till now even there has been continuous leaking of the radiation into the air and the sea.  What about reactor 4?  It could potentially bring even more catastrophe than ever.   The greatest tsunami in 1,000 years which was used by BBC2 program was a phrase once used by Tepco, then later it was criticized as a wrong expression in Japan.  I read a report which said the highest wave that hit Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant was 15m.  In 2008 Tepco submitted their report in which said over 15 m height of wave could hit the plant, but they dismissed their own calculation and did nothing to implement their report.  Tepco shouldnt have really said one in 1000 years and unimaginable, it is more like one in 100 years, and it showed how un-responsible company Tepco is.   I wonder if BBC did their own research for making these programs.  If you look at Japanese history, there was a huge tsunami with highest wave 38.2m hit the east coast of Japan in 1896 which came after magnitude -8.5 earthquake, resulting in 22,000 people dead.
Also I would like to comment on Iodine tablet. Japanese government never instructed citizens in the affected area to take the tablet.  People who took it were Tepco peoples family as they knew the danger, and also citizens in Miharu-machi where they decided to take it voluntarily without waiting for the governments instruction.  So it is doubtful that in the first program one father giving her daughter the iodine tablet.  Even if he did, it doesnt represent at all for most of citizens.  Also there isnt any single case of children who already suffered radiation related symptoms such as nose bleeding, diarrhea 2 months after the explosions.  Children who already have these symptoms are not just worried about their future as it said in BBC program, but worried about whats happening in their body right now as well.  Already three children developed thyroid cancer.  It’s more likely that seven more will develop thyroid cancer, too.
It seems that BBC doesn’t want to broadcast anything that might the citizens to stir up anti-nuclear movement.  When there were so many demonstrations going on towards and around March 11 this year, I heard nothing about them in the main stream media.
