"We are now
within two months of what may be humankind’s most dangerous moment since the
Cuban Missile Crisis."—Harvey Wasserman, author and

Fukushima’s owner, Tokyo Electric (Tepco), does not have
the resources to handle 1,300 spent fuel rods now sitting in a badly damaged
pool perched 100 feet in the air, with the potential to spew out more than
15,000 times as much radiation as was released at Hiroshima.
The
situation demands a coordinated worldwide effort of the best scientists and
engineers our species can muster.
Chernobyl’s first 1986
fallout reached California within ten days. Fukushima's in 2011 arrived in less
than a week. A new fuel fire at Unit 4 would pour out
a continuous stream of
lethal radioactive poisons for centuries.
Former Ambassador Mitsuhei
Murata says of full-scale releases from Fukushima,
"This is not rocket science, nor does it
connect to the pugilistic debate over nuclear power plants. This is an issue of
human survival."
This crisis comes just as the Obama Administration
is trying to provide a $8.3 billion loan to build
the first new nuclear plants in the U.S. in
almost 30 years. Tell President Obama to loan that $8.3
billion to a Fukushima emergency clean-up instead.
Tell the United Nations to lead that effort
immediately.
