VICE News, Aug. 20, 2014: No One Wants You to Know How Bad Fukushima Might Still Be […] it’s hard to give TEPCO the benefit of the doubt when misinformation, lying, and a sub-par approach to safety culture have been central to this quagmire […] This is merely the abridged account of TEPCO’s backpedalling and PR shortfalls. It begs many questions, but the most perplexing one is: Why? Why has a crisis that is gaining traction as the worst case of nuclear pollution in history—worse, emission-wise, than Hiroshima, Nagasaki, or Chernobyl—being smothered with internal censorship? […] if it’s not money that lies beneath these multi-faceted attempts at obscuring information about Fukushima, it’s the fear of mass hysteria.
Speech by Dr. Andrew S. Kanter, MD*, Assistant Professor at Columbia University, *Due to Dr. Kanter’s illness, Physicians for Social Responsibility Board Member Alfred Meyer presented his speech, published by Cinema Forum Fukushima on July 30, 2014 (at 2:45 in): “We soon learned that [the Fukushima disaster] would have global implications. […] One thing is clear, this is a global contamination of wide swaths of the biosphere, creating sacrifice zones where people cannot live for hundreds or thousands of years.”
