<DIV><FONT face=Century size=3><FONT size=4><STRONG>3.11 Anti nuclear power
reactor and movement against restart <BR></STRONG></FONT>On March 11,
2012, one year has passed since the East Japan great earthquake, the earthquake
disaster of the Fukushima nuclear power plant, and the man-made disaster.
<BR>Revival from the earthquake disaster is, although slowly, progressing by the
unwavering strong will to "home country revival" of residents in stricken area
<BR>Now, rubble processing of the stricken area poses a big problem. The
estimated amount of rubble of suffered 3 prefectures is said to be about
22,470,000 tons. This is said to be equivalent to 1.6 times of that of the Great
Hanshin-Awaji Earthquake in 1995, and 1/2 of total amount of the annual wastes
of whole Japan.<BR>By the way, meetings, demonstrations, etc. of "Anti nuclear
power reactor and stop restart" were done in the whole country on March 10 and
the 11th. Among them, near Fukushima nuclear power plant, about 16,000 people
from the whole country participated in the "Fukushima residents large meeting"
held in Koriyama On the outskirts of Hibiya Park in Tokyo about 10,000 people to
"3.11 Tokyo parade" which opposing to nuclear power plant, and about 7000 people
in Osaka, and in Tsuruga of Fukui Prefecture where record 14 nuclear power
plants in the country locate, about 1200 people participated in the meeting.
Furthermore, an atom-bombed place Hiroshima, about 2000 citizens walked shouting
"No more Hiroshima, no more Fukushima, no more hibakusha(nuclear victim)
". <BR>In this Nagoya city, 800 people participated in the meeting and
demonstration mainly led by citizens and youth on 10th, in those by reformist
organization and citizens, 5,000 people participated on 11th.<BR>At all
the meetings, "Anti nuclear power reactor and stop restart" were main slogans,
and we believe that it is the entire people's intention. However, the government
is aiming at restart of the nuclear power plant under pause, following the
request from the industrial world, etc., while safety is not collateralized by
it. It seems as if they has already forgotten experience of the Fukushima
nuclear power plant disaster.</FONT></DIV>
