In the early morning of July 8, 2013, many
citizens came to the building in which Japan’s Nuclear Regulation Authority (NRA)
is located in the Roppongi district in central Tokyo in protest against the
applications for the restart of nuclear power plants, which were filed by four
electric power companies. The demonstrators who came to this place to protest
showed what is wrong with the applications. A woman from Hokkaido complained, “The
Tomari Nuclear Power Plant has not been protected by a seawall at all. It is
scheduled to be built in 2015, but the operator of the plant wants to resume
its operation this December. This is stupid. It is said that there is a big
active fault near Reactor 1 of the plant. No safety measures have been taken at
all for the plant. The NRA should reject the application”. Demonstrators who
are involved in campaigns against possible restart of other nuclear power
plants, such as Oi, Takahama (both near the Kansai area), Ikata (on the Shikoku
Island) and Sendai (on the Kyushu Island), disclosed lies and deceits of the
plant operators one after another. A woman from Fukushima said in a bitter
voice, “The disaster of the Fukushima Nuclear Power Plant has never been
contained at all. Radioactivity still leaks. Remember Fukushima”. The protest
continued for approximately two hours. (M)
