Honored to have given the keynote lecture at the annual Hiroshima Peace Institute’s International Symposium in the #Hiroshima Peace Park this last weekend. My topic was, "Nuclear Weapon Development and Possession as Violence: The Global Hibakusha" @npub1uc0p...cpgf @npub1rgqh...tqw7 #nuclear #Hiroshima #peace image
Thanksgiving in Japan, always odd, mostly because people here ask me to explain it. They've seen it in Ameircan movies and TV shows, and wonder what the origins are. I explain that the pilgrims were starving, and the Native Americans fed them and there was a feast and community making........but then things didn't go so well, and there was a genocide. #Japan #Thanksgiving @npub1uc0p...cpgf

First they came for the people who remember the rest of this quote. Not sure how it went from there, but basically, they came for everyone.
More realistic headlines than the ones coming from #Fukushima right now: -The reason a remote controlled robot removed the fuel is that humans can still not enter several of the reactors, radiation levels will kill them. -Removing several grams of melted nuclear fuel is a proof of concept. The 800 tons of melted fuel remaining will not be removed this way, this is to assess the contents of the melted fuel. It is a minuscule sample and not the beginning of corium (melted fuel) removal. -The corium at Chernobyl is still sitting under the reactor. It will take the better part of a century (best scenario) to remove the corium at #Chernobyl or Fukushima. #nuclear #NuclearPower #NuclearWaste
