Can you enjoy Tokyo Olympics?

  Yesterday I listened to the speech made by Mr. Sakurai, the former mayor ofMinamisomaCityinFukushima. The city is in the North of Fukushima Nuke Plant and badly contaminated at the time. Mr. Sakurai had to work so hard to protect people, to save the lives as the mayor, while they could get no information or direction from the government and the electric company. He was chosen by New York Times as one of the 100 who had influenced the world most that year. 　

  More than seven years have passed, and they have tried to clean the towns and farmland with huge money, but there is no place to put those contaminated soil and garbage. You see countless big garbage bags stacked up in the towns, in the farmlands, in the backyards of houses. Everyday around 400ton groundwater is pouring into the decayed power plant and it is contaminated there. Recently they say there is no other way than letting the water run into the sea.  Mr. Sakurai said, “It’s OK. Let’s pour it into theTokyoBay.” All the electricity fromFukushimawas sent toTokyo, do you know?  He said,“ In the picture of the Earth from the space, we find a dark area with no light inFukushima, It’s the heavily contaminated place and no human being is allowed to go in. On the other hand,Tokyois brightly lit .”

 Most people are forgetting the nuke disaster seven years ago and suffering of the people ofFukushima. The government and the electric company are so happy with the people who has only a poor memory. Can you believe? They are reviving the nuke plants one by one. Medias are celebrating the Olympics loudly. Yes, nuke power is safe, the radiation is under control, the disaster is over!!  Don’t think too much. Enjoy Olympics!
