Remember Fukushima: No to Nuclear Power In UK, Japan or Worldwide

There will be a series of events in London marking the 3rd anniversary of the Fukushima disaster on 11th March 2011. We hope you'll be able to join us for some or all of these events to say no to new nuclear in Britain and to commemorate those whose lives have been affected by the ongoing disaster in Japan.

CND's General Secretary, Kate Hudson said: 'Japanese officials have come clean that 160,000 people who were displaced in the wake of the disaster may never return to their homes.'

'The area remains a wasteland, where contamination is seeping out quicker than Tepco can control it. Miles O'Brien, a science correspondent, who recently visited the site, described it as "a post-apocalyptic landscape of abandoned towns, frozen in time". The decontamination operation -- overseen by Tokyo Electric Power (Tepco) -- is expected to last at least 30 years.'

'Three years on, it is both a moral obligation and a logical conclusion to heed the lessons of the Fukushima disaster. Nuclear power has shown itself to be a dirty, dangerous and expensive form of energy. Instead of subsidising nuclear power and building new reactors, we call on the British Government to get serious about renewable energy.'

'Without a genuine commitment -- shown through vastly increased funding for research, development and green energy infrastructure -- this government's superficial commitment to, in David Cameron's words, "green crap", is just that.'

1. When....

When will Fukushima eclipse Chernobyl as the worst ever AE disaster? I think it already quietly HAS surpassed Chernobyl - we just haven't seen all the tentacles that are slowly, reaching out from the plant's meltdowns.
