Consciousness about the #FukushimaNuclearDisaster is growing day by day.  You can keep up with all the latest and help the process along by sharing the information below, step-by-step:

STEP 1 EDUCATE & SAFEGUARD

The J-Gov is going off of ‘estimates’ to determine the safety of contaminated water at the Daiichi site to be released into the Pacific Ocean.  I’d feel a lot better if they had EXACT measurements to go by but how else can they dodge liability later when something goes horribly wrong?

STEP 2 EVACUATE #FUKUSHIMA NOW

Pope Francis is visiting Japan this week with a pointed message about nuclear weapon abolishment and will visit folks in #Fukushima as well:

STEP 3 CONTROL & CONTAIN

Your best source to find out the latest status at the #FukushimaDaiichi plant itself isn’t TEPCO, it’s FukuLeaks dot org, a trusted #FukuFighter resource:

STEP 4 NUCLEAR POWER IS OVER

How we stop nuclear power dead in it’s tracks is by not allowing one more plant to be built.  It’s an international cause that begins with individuals in our communities:

HEY #FUKUFIGHTERS!

A feature film about the #FukushimaNuclearDisaster is coming soon to a screen near you thanks to a new distribution deal and I’m excited that the WHOLE story of those first few days of the crisis is finally going to be shown to everyone.  Once people see the impact the radiation really had on U.S. troops and victims there in Japan, I think attitudes about it are going to change drastically:

With the global tide turned against nuclear energy, their propaganda machine is turned up to 11.  It doesn't change the TRUTH from coming out as you'll see, step-by-step:

 

STEP 1 EDUCATE & SAFEGUARD

Pope Francis is going to Japan specifically to take a stand against nuclear proliferation and weaponry.  This is what leaders do:

STEP 2 EVACUATE #FUKUSHIMA NOW

Run this link thru your Google Chrome browser and read how cancer reoccurrence in #FukushimaPrefecture is just as bad as we’d suspected and how TEPCO is going to paying out on this forever:

STEP 3 CONTROL & CONTAIN

Looking for a quick update on how things have been going at #FukushimaDaiichi that you can share with your circles?  Look no further:

STEP 4 NUCLEAR POWER IS OVER

When they say shutting down nukes will take away jobs, they’re not telling the whole story about how REAL green energy is changing the game when it comes to job creation:

HEY #FUKUFIGHTERS!

When it comes to battling the nuclear powers-that-be, it’s always best to follow the money then squeeze the flow until it stops.  One way you can do this is take note of which Universities support nuclear technology development and putting pressure on them to stop.  After all, they’re selling a false future to the next generation when we should be looking for better, safer alternatives to energy production:

Over 3000 days later, the situation in #Fukushima is not good but the tide has turned against nuclear there despite the industry's worst efforts to stay float.  Find out more about it step-by-step:

STEP 1 EDUCATE & SAFEGUARD

In 2011 when the Japanese Women’s Soccer Team pulled off the upset in a scrappy World Cup finals win over Team USA, it was with the spirit of #Fukushima on their backs.  Now they are being asked to literally do it all over again by leading off the #Tokyo2020 Olympics torch relay IN #Fukushima:

STEP 2 EVACUATE #FUKUSHIMA NOW

The folks stuck living close to the #FukushimaDaiichi nuclear plant may not have much to cheer about but at least they can get fried chicken flown in so there’s that:

STEP 3 CONTROL & CONTAIN

8 years since the #FukushimaNuclearDisaster began and evidence of what I’ve been saying all along has come to light.  Things are getting worse at stricken plant site, not better.  #thanksTEPCO

STEP 4 NUCLEAR POWER IS OVER

REAL renewable energy options in Japan are literally replacing nuclear in #Fukushima out of necessity.  If that’s not evidence of STEP 4 becoming a reality I don’t what is:

HEY #FUKUFIGHTERS!

It has been 40 years since the #ThreeMileIsland nuclear crisis began and the whole story still remains to be told to this day.  There’s a new documentary that’s trying to raise funds to do just that and we should all get behind it in anyway we can.  Go to their website and see what they’re working on right now:

One thing that hasn't changed since March 2011 - radiation keeps leaking and news keeps breaking about what's happening at #Fukushima.  Find out more for yourself, step-by-step:

 

STEP 1 EDUCATE & SAFEGUARD

The official word out of Japan says there were 91 radioactive sacks of #Fukushima waste washed away during the typhoon last month.  That’s officially 91 sacks too many!

https://www3.nhk.or.jp/nhkworld/en/news/20191103_02/

Speaking of too many, restrictions on food exports to the E.U. are being lifted and I can tell you right now there are things on this list I wouldn’t touch with a 10 foot geiger counter:

STEP 2 EVACUATE #FUKUSHIMA NOW

Even with some areas closed off for high radiation, #Fukushima Prefecture struggles on to rebuild from the worst nuclear disaster that is 3000+ days ongoing:

https://www.bbc.com/sport/olympics/50220295

What will things look like there in 20 years though?  Some citizens have done the work to show the reality of the situation today:

STEP 3 CONTROL & CONTAIN

Even Pope Francis knows that this ongoing crisis needs global attention so he’s stepping up to be there for the victims:

STEP 4 NUCLEAR POWER IS OVER

Japan pushes for a U.N. resolution to end nuclear weapons but the U.S. isn’t down with that, no surprise why:
