Japanese Parliamentary Investigation Concludes Fukushima Was a Manmade Disaster July 5, 2012
A Japanese independent parliamentary investigation has asserted that “the Fukushima nuclear disaster was the result of a mix of ‘man-made’ factors including regulators who failed to provide adequate prevention and a government lacking commitment to protect the public.” According to the panel’s chairman, Tokyo University professor emeritus Kiyoshi Kurokawa, Fukushima “cannot be regarded as a natural disaster.” Instead, “It was a profoundly manmade disaster – that could and should have been foreseen and prevented. And its effects could have been mitigated by a more effective human response.” The report, released today in Tokyo, cannot “rule out the earthquake on March 11 last year caused damage to Tokyo Electric Co. (9501)’s Dai-Ichi No. 1 reactor and safety equipment.” The dominant consensus until now has been that the reactors withstood the earthquake but succumbed to the tsunami. The investigation lasted six-months. The first of its kind, it held public hearings with former Prime Minister Naoto Kan and Tokyo Electric Power Co’s ex-president Masataka Shimizu. They gave conflicting accounts of disaster response at Fukushima.
Given the course the government and nation of Japan are taking in light of the Fukushima nuclear disaster, my wife and I have decided that the best thing for us to do is to leave Japan. For various reasons explained in this video and on my web site we no longer believe that Japan is the right place for us.

There has been a lot of criticism and verbal attacks on people who are concerned about radioactive contamination. All I will say to critics is don't criticize me until you've lived in a small island country with a level 7 nuclear disaster. Don't criticize me until you have to watch your wife eating food every day that you have to wonder about the safety of. If nuclear material and disasters are so safe, then you come live here and eat the food and live in the environment. My wife and I have decided to move away from it and it is our human right to live without nuclear contamination invading our bodies and taking away our peace of mind. We want healthy children and healthy long lives and refuse to give any of that up to the invisible specter of radiation which is spreading through this nation as a result of the multiple meltdowns and explosions of the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant last year..
This is my 2nd nuclear disaster. I grew up 46km/29mi from Three Mile Island and was a toddler when the meltdown there happened. The industry and government were deceptive and incompetent then too and who knows what I was exposed to as a result at that time.
