Je viens de finir le livre-enquête de Sophie Houdart sur la résidence recherche qu’elle a mené sur place pendant la décennie après la triple catastrophe de Fukushima (tremblement de terre, tsunami, explosion nucléaire). Avec forcément des retours sur l’énergie nucléaire militaire et civile (particulièrement au Japon (Hiroshima, Nagasaki), mais aussi ailleurs comme l’un est né de l’autre et jusqu’à aujourd’hui intrinsèquement liés malgré les efforts incessants de tous les communicateurs pro-nucléaires)
Aussi pour faire le lien entre le pratiquement improbable, purement abstrait jusqu’aux trois “accidents” majeurs, qui effacent un peu les incidents permanents, du moins réguliers.
De ce livre incroyable, le premier qui me fait un peu moins déprimer, car il tient la même ligne qu’Anna Tsing avec son champignon de la fin du monde - les champignons comme guides, je retiens quelques mots centraux - translocation, oubli contre faux aiguillage, et retour à la normale contre solutions extensives.
Tout étant lié aussi, comme la translocation tient compte d’une radioactivité permanente qui ne disparaît pas d’elle même ou très peu sur une longue durée, donc une radioactivité à laquelle il faut donner à manger, la concentrer ailleurs que dans ce qu’on voudrait consommer, la piéger par le potassium par exemple, tout un tas de pratiques qui s’acquièrent en faisant, certes avec le soutien des chercheurs, mais très peu avec des théories généralisables.
L’ironie de l’histoire est que la région de Fukushima a été relativement protégée du productivisme, du remembrement, et d’autres formes du progrès prônées après 45, et même un haut lieu de la culture biologique et de collecte de tout ce qui est comestible en poussant dans des lieux non cultivés
Retrouver ces pratiques et liens d’entre aides semblait dans un premier temps le meilleur moyen pour s’installer dans la longue durée de vie avec une radioactivité plus ou moins faible et lutter ainsi contre l’oubli. Malheureusement pendant ce temps ceux qui veulent retourner à la normale ne dorment pas et préparent leurs interventions contre les “rumeurs néfastes”
Il y a tant de choses à dire sur ce livre, d’autant plus que je pense que tous ces mécanismes observés ne concernent pas que la pollution nucléaire (des fois pouvant être traitée de “radiophobie” ou anxiété purement psychologique) mais aussi toute autre pollution due au productivisme capitalistique - une conscience qu’il faut vivre avec tout en la combattant. Il y a de l’inspiration à trouver chez les Seki, Ono et Nonaka qui peuplent le livre, pour ne retenir que les trois qui m’ont le plus impressionné.
S’installer dans la longue durée.Je conseille chaudement la lecture, vous verrez bien

40 Jahre Tschernobyl - auch Gefahren aus der Schweiz, deshalb: "Atomenergie abschalten!"- fordert Dr. Schmid von der IPPNW.
Aktuell stecken in Stuttgart Grüne und CDU in Koalitionsverhandlungen. In einem Brief an Cem Özdemir von den Grünen und Manuel Hagel von der CDU sowie deren Verhandlungsteams weist die Organisation „Internationale Ärzt*innen für die Verhütung des Atomkrieges“, kurz IPPNW, auf die drohenden Atomgefahren aus der Schweiz für Baden-Württemberg hin.
Die IPPNW fordert, auch anlässlich des 40. Jahrestages der Atomkatastrophe von Tschernobyl, von der künftigen Landesregierung, sich gegenüber der Schweiz und der Bundesregierung für ein baldiges Ende der Schweizer Atomanlagen einzusetzen.
Über den Brief der IPPNW an die (künftige) @RegierungBW in Stuttgart, die atomaren Risiken und was diese mit politischer Verantwortung zu tun haben, sprach ich heute für @RDL mit Dr. Jörg Schmid von den IPPNW.

Japan Is Restarting Its #NuclearPower Program 15 Years After the #Fukushima Disaster
One of the surviving reactors at the #KashiwazakiKariwa plant was loaded with fuel last summer and recently turned back on, to mixed reactions.
By Elizabeth Rayne, Published: Jan 28, 2026
Excerpt: "Despite the benefits [sic] of nuclear energy, not everyone is so sure about this move. The Japanese government’s strategic energy plan previously intended to reduce the use of nuclear power as much as possible, but as far back as 2021, it has been focused on incorporating nuclear back into its bank of power sources as a way to reduce the consumption of fossil fuels. Its newest plan addresses the progress that has been made since the Fukushima disaster, admitting that the power plant failed to make improvements because of 'the myth [that] created the impression that meeting the standards and conditions set by the government and industry would eliminate all risks.'
"Some citizens see the return to nuclear power as a dismissal of caution."

Nuclear reactor owned by #Fukushima plant operator #TEPCO to shut down again hours after restart
By MARI YAMAGUCHI
Updated 7:05 AM EST, January 22, 2026TOKYO (AP) — "A reactor at the world’s largest nuclear power plant that restarted for the first time since the 2011 Fukushima nuclear disaster is now being shut down again Thursday due to a glitch that occurred hours after the unit’s resumption, its operator said.
"The No. 6 reactor at the #KashiwazakiKariwa plant in north-central Japan reactivated Wednesday night for the first time in 14 years, as plant workers started removing neutron-absorbing control rods from the core to start stable nuclear fission.
"But the process had to be suspended hours later due to a malfunction related to control rods, which are essential to safely starting up and shutting down reactors, the Tokyo Electric Power Company Holdings said.
"TEPCO, which also manages the wrecked Fukushima plant, said there was no safety issue from the glitch."

#Japan's #Fukushima #nuclear wastewater 'pose major #environmental, #HumanRights risks' - UN experts
20 May 2025
"The United Nations (UN) human rights experts have written to the Japanese government to express their concerns about the release of more than one million metric tonnes of treated nuclear wastewater into the #PacificOcean.
"In August 2023, Japan began discharging wastewaster from about 1000 storage tanks of contaminated water collected after the earthquake and tsunami in 2011 that caused the meltdown of its Fukushima nuclear plant.
"In the formal communication, available publicly, UN Human Rights Council special rappoteurs addressed the the management of Advanced Liquid Processing System (ALPS)-treated wastewater from the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Station (NPS) by the Japan government and TEPCO (Tokio Electric Power), and the ongoing discharge of such waters into the Pacific Ocean.
"They said 'we are alarmed that the implementation of contaminated water release operations of into the ocean may pose major environmental and human rights risks, exposing people, especially children, to threats of further contamination in Japan and beyond.'
" 'We wish to raise our concern about the allegations of the failure to assess the consequences on health of the release of wastewater against the best available scientific evidence,' the special rappoteurs write.
" 'Against this backdrop, we would like to highlight that the threats to the enjoyment of the right to adequate food do not concern only local people within the borders of Japan.
" 'Given the migratory nature of fish, their contamination represents a risk also for people living beyond the Japanese borders, including Indigenous Peoples across the Pacific Ocean which, according to their culture and traditions, mainly rely on seafood as their primary livelihood.'
"The letter follows a complaint submitted by Ocean Vision Legal in August 2023 on behalf of the Pacific Network on Globalisation (#PANG) and endorsed by over 50 civil society groups in the Pacific and beyond.
"In a statement on Tuesday, PANG hailed it as "a landmark move for #OceanJustice and #HumanRights'.
"The organisation said that the destructive legacy of nuclear #contamination through #NuclearTesting is still strongly felt across the region.
"It said this legacy is marked by severe health impacts across generations and the ongoing failure to properly clean up test sites, which continue to contaminate the islands and waterways that Pacific peoples depend on.
" 'As Pacific groups, we remain disappointed in the Japanese Government and TEPCO's shameless disregard of the calls by numerous Pacific leaders and civil society groups to hold off on any further release,' PANG's coordinator Joey Tau said.
" 'Their ignorance constitutes a brazen threat to Pacific peoples' livelihoods, safety, health and well-being, and the sovereignty of Pacific nations,' he added.
"Japan has consistently maintained that the release is safe.
"The UN human rights experts have asked for further information from Japan, including on the allegations raised, and on how the Radiological Environmental Impact Assessment has been conducted according to the best available scientific evidence.
"This communication sends a clear message: Ocean issues must be understood as human rights issues, requiring precautionary and informed action aligned with international environmental law to safeguard both people and the marine environment.
"#OceanVisionLegal founder and CEO Anna von Rebay said while the communication is not legally binding, it is a crucial milestone.
" 'It informs the interpretation of human rights and environmental law in response to contemporary threats, contributing to the development of customary international law and strengthens accountability for any actor harming the Ocean,' she said.
" 'Ultimately, it paves the way towards a future where the Ocean's health is fully recognised as fundamental to human dignity, justice, and intergenerational equity.' "

What will #Japan do with #contaminated soil near #Fukushima nuclear plant?
April 8, 2025 (Mainichi Japan)
"The Mainichi Shimbun answers some common questions readers may have about what Japan will do with soil removed around the #FukushimaDaiichi #NuclearPower Station after the meltdowns triggered by the 2011 Great East Japan Earthquake and tsunami.
Question: What does the term "contaminated soil" that is talked about on the news refer to?
Answer: It points to soil containing radioactive cesium that was dispersed over a wide area due to the 2011 Fukushima power plant meltdowns. After the accident, to minimize residents' exposure to radiation, soil tainted with radioactive cesium underwent a decontamination process and was removed. Approximately 14 million cubic meters of it was collected in Fukushima Prefecture.
Q: What has happened to all that soil?
A: It is currently stored in an "interim storage facility," stretching across the prefectural towns of Futaba and Okuma, adjacent to the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Station. The facility in this area, which used to house about 2,700 residents before the accident, was developed by the national government through land purchases and leases. The law promises that the contaminated soil stored there will undergo final disposal outside the prefecture sometime before 2045. To reduce the volume for final disposal, the plan is to use about three-quarters of it for purposes such as road embankments.
Q: Is it safe to use the removed soil?
A: The Ministry of the Environment has set the standard for reusing soil at "a concentration of radioactive cesium of 8,000 becquerels or less per kilogram." This standard has been deemed appropriate by domestic and international expert organizations. The government intends to handle the soil in accordance with international standards to minimize the radiation impact on construction workers and nearby residents. However, since this is an unprecedented endeavor, some experts are concerned about whether it can be managed over a long period without affecting the surrounding area.
Q: Can this really be achieved in 20 years?
A: Even the demonstration project for reuse planned by the Environment Ministry in locations including Tokyo's Shinjuku Ward has not progressed, and it is uncertain whether destinations for reuse or final disposal will be found. Additionally, a national survey revealed that about 80% of people outside Fukushima Prefecture are unaware of this "promise." The government needs to intensify efforts to raise awareness of the contaminated soil issue, especially among people outside Fukushima Prefecture."

#Fukushima Now – Current State of Post-Accident Operations at Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Station (August 2024 to January 2025)
by Citizens' Nuclear Information Center · Published April 2, 2025 · Updated April 2, 2025
By Matsukubo Hajime
Excerpt: State of #ContaminatedWater
"Contaminated water countermeasures at #FukushimaDaiichi #NuclearPower Station (#FDNPS) can be broadly divided into three areas: 1) Reduction of #groundwater flowing into buildings, 2) Reduction of #ContaminatedWater flowing into the sea, and 3) Reduction of the toxicity of contaminated water.
"Countermeasures implemented to reduce water inflow into the buildings are, from higher elevations downward, (A) Pumping up groundwater at the groundwater bypass and releasing it into the sea (953,611m3 up to February 10, 2025), B) Installation of a frozen earth barrier (on-land water barrier, total length roughly 1,500m) surrounding FDNPS Units 1-4, C) Pumping up water at the subdrains and releasing it into the sea (1,801,404m3 up to February 9), and D) Paving of the site with asphalt to suppress permeation of rainwater into the soil. Measures to prevent the discharge of contaminated water into the ocean include A) Groundwater leakage prevention by a steel water barrier on the sea-side and B) Pumping up of groundwater dammed up behind the sea-side water barrier from the well points and groundwater drains. Due to these measures, the volume of contaminated water discharged, 540m3/day in May 2014, fell to 80m3/day in FY2023, and was below 100m3/day in FY2024.
"In the reduction of the toxicity of contaminated water, cesium and strontium are removed, and after the removal of impurities using a reverse osmosis (RO) membrane, the multi-radionuclide removal equipment (ALPS – Advanced Liquid Processing System) then removes 62 radionuclides [NOT COMPLETELY!!!]. The water is then stored in tanks (containing 1,297,190m3 as of January 30, 2025. However, due to past equipment #malfunctions and operational policies, around 64% of the stored water exceeds the notification concentration).
"Oceanic release of the ALPS-treated contaminated water began on August 24, 2023, a total of 78,285m3 being released in ten batches by January 2025. Table 2 shows the amounts released in each release and the total amount of tritium released. The concentration is gradually rising. One further release is scheduled during FY2024. In addition, roughly 15,720m3 of water remain in buildings, and a further 8,946m3 of strontium-treated water, etc., 5,644m3 of water treated by RO, and 9,463m3 of concentrated wastewater, etc. also exist onsite."

Since the 2011 #Fukushima accident, Japan has restarted 14 #NuclearReactors
1/10/2025"Japanese utilities restarted two additional nuclear reactors in 2024 that had been suspended from operations in response to the 2011 #FukushimaDaiichi accident, taking the total number of restarted reactors to 14 since the accident.
"In November, #TohokuElectricPowerCo. restarted its 796-megawatt (MW) #Onagawa Unit 2 reactor, and in December #ChugokuElectricPowerCo. restarted its #Shimane Unit 2 (789 MW). Onagawa is the nuclear power plant located closest to the epicenter of the March 2011 #earthquake and tsunami.
"Most of the restarted reactors have been pressurized water reactors (PWR) located in western Japan. Onagawa Unit 2 and Shimane Unit 2, by contrast, are the first boiling water reactors (BWR) to be restarted. Onagawa Unit 2 is also the first reactor in the eastern part of the country to be restarted. Japan’s nuclear regulator prioritized the restart of PWRs due to public safety concerns regarding BWR technology, which is the design of the Fukushima Daiichi units.
"Japan suspended its nuclear fleet from 2013 to 2015 for mandatory safety checks and upgrades following the 2011 Fukushima Daiichi accident. Before the accident, 54 commercial nuclear reactors were operating in Japan, and nuclear power accounted for approximately 30% of the country’s electricity generation. Nuclear restarts have proceeded slowly since the first two units (#Sendai Units 1 and 2) were restarted in 2015. Restarts have been slow due to a significantly more stringent safety inspection and authorization process established after the accident and local court injunctions emerging from ongoing public safety concerns in some regions. Public support for restarts has been growing in Japan recently, however.
"Under the current restart process, once regulatory approvals have been granted, the local municipality and prefectural governments are consulted prior to restart. In addition to the 14 reactors already restarted, three more units (namely, the #KashiwazakiKariwa Unit 6 and Unit 7 and the #TokaiDaini unit) have received regulatory approval to restart but have yet to do so. Tohoku Electric Power announced in 2018 that Onagawa Unit 1 would be decommissioned rather than upgraded, but the utility plans to seek approval to restart Onagawa Unit 3. Restarting another 10 units is under regulatory review.
"The suspension of Japan's nuclear fleet after the Fukushima accident significantly increased dependence on natural gas, oil, and coal imports to make up for lost domestic nuclear generation. It also significantly increased the installed capacity of solar photovoltaic generation in the country, according to data from Japan’s Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry. Japan has limited domestic fossil fuel resources and imports virtually all the fossil fuels it uses. Consequently, Japan is the world's second-largest importer of liquefied natural gas (LNG) after China and the third-largest importer of coal.
"As part of Japan’s sixth long-term energy plan, last updated in October 2021, the central government called for the nuclear share of the country’s electricity generation to reach 20%–22% by 2030. Nuclear power accounted for about 6% of Japan’s electricity generation in 2023. A draft of Japan’s seventh long-term energy plan was released on December 17, 2024, and says nuclear power should account for 20% of Japan’s energy supply in 2040.
"Japan’s current policy intends to maximize the use of existing reactors by restarting as many units as possible and extending the #LicensedOperatingLife beyond the current 60-year limit."

Speaking of #Fukushima...
Editorial: Unresolved disposal of Fukushima #nuke disaster soil a barrier to full recovery
January 10, 2025
"The recovery of #FukushimaPrefecture cannot be considered complete until the disposal of soil generated from #radiation #decontamination work after the 2011 #FukushimaDaiichi #NuclearPlant triple-meltdown is resolved.
"The nuclear accident released vast amounts of #radioactive material over a wide area. The decontamination efforts in residential and agricultural areas across Fukushima Prefecture resulted in the collection of approximately 14 million cubic meters of contaminated soil. This soil has been transported to interim storage facilities built in the towns of #Futaba and #Okuma, where the power plant is located.
"Local communities only agreed to the construction of these facilities on the condition that the soil would eventually be disposed of outside the prefecture. By law, final disposal must be completed by March 2045, 30 years after storage began. To meet this deadline, the Japanese government held a meeting involving all Cabinet members late last year. The goal is to draft a concrete timeline for disposal by this summer.
"The government has also proposed reusing soil with radiation levels below a certain threshold. The plan envisions using the soil for public projects across the country, including road embankments and #farmland development.
"In Fukushima Prefecture, pilot projects are underway to confirm that reusing the soil is safe. In September 2024, the International Atomic Energy Agency (#IAEA) concluded that the government's plan complies with its safety standards. However, scientific assurances on safety alone have not been enough to advance the plan. Concerns about potential health risks and local reputational damage remain unresolved.
"In 2022, the Ministry of the Environment attempted to reuse the soil at three facilities it manages, including Shinjuku Gyoen National Garden in Tokyo, but the plan was derailed by strong opposition from residents. To this day, there is no clear timeline for implementation.
"Additionally, about a quarter of the removed soil is still too highly contaminated to be reused. This portion will require final disposal outside Fukushima Prefecture, but no schedule or location has been determined.
"Public understanding of the issue remains insufficient. A December 2023 survey conducted by the Ministry of the Environment revealed that over 70% of people outside Fukushima Prefecture were unaware of the plans for reusing or disposing of the soil.
"The electricity generated by the Fukushima Daiichi plant was primarily consumed in metropolitan areas, especially the Tokyo region. Dealing with the waste soil is a responsibility that must be acknowledged by those who benefited from that power.
"Meanwhile, the decommissioning of the plant is behind schedule, and those displaced from their hometowns around it are growing increasingly anxious. It is the government's responsibility to urgently present a clear path forward to address the aftermath of the nuclear disaster."

Back before the #BananaMan took over anything nuclear ("Radiation is harmless! It's even in bananas!"), there was actual reporting on the dangers of #NuclearPower (and weapons)!
#Radioactivity in the Ocean: Diluted, But Far from Harmless
With contaminated water from Japan’s crippled #Fukushima nuclear complex continuing to pour into the Pacific, scientists are concerned about how that radioactivity might affect marine life. Although the ocean’s capacity to dilute radiation is huge, signs are that nuclear isotopes are already moving up the local #FoodChain.
By Elizabeth Grossman • April 7, 2011
"Over the past half-century, the world has seen its share of incidents in which radioactive material has been dumped or discharged into the oceans. A British nuclear fuels plant has repeatedly released radioactive waste into the Irish Sea [#Sellafield] , a French nuclear reprocessing plant has discharged similar waste into the #EnglishChannel, and for decades the Soviets dumped large quantities of radioactive material into the #ArcticOcean, #KaraSea, and #BarentsSea. That radioactive material included reactors from at least 16 Soviet #nuclear-powered submarines and icebreakers, and large amounts of liquid and solid #NuclearWaste from USSR military bases and weapons plants."

#AI and [#ComputerChip] Manufacturing Drive #Japan's #Nuclear Energy Expansion
By ZeroHedge - Dec 11, 2024- Japan's #Shimane nuclear reactor has restarted for the first time since the 2011 #Fukushima disaster, marking a significant step in the country's renewed embrace of nuclear power.
- Tech giants like #Meta are actively seeking nuclear power solutions to meet the growing energy demands of their #DataCenters and AI initiatives.
- The global resurgence of #NuclearPower is driven by factors such as increasing energy needs, the push for decarbonization, and advancements in nuclear technology."The world continues to 'warm' back up to nuclear, with the latest example coming out of Japan, where its Shimane nuclear power station in western Japan has been restarted for the first time since the 2011 Fukushima meltdown.
"Japan's long-delayed restart of the 820 MW No. 2 reactor at the Shimane plant, shut down since January 2012, raises the number of operational reactors to 14, with a total capacity of 13,253 MW, according to Reuters.
"#TohokuElectricPower also recently resumed operations of its 825 MW No. 2 reactor at the #Onagawa plant, reducing Japan's reliance on liquefied natural gas and thermal coal.
"Reuters writes that the expanded use of nuclear energy is expected to support Japan's growing power needs, particularly for #semiconductor plants and AI-driven #DataCenters."

GOOD! Japanese #Nuclear Reactor Disqualified Under Post-#Fukushima Safety Standards
Published Nov 13, 2024
"#Japan's nuclear regulator has disqualified the country's #Tsuruga No. 2 reactor from restarting for the first time under post-Fukushima safety standards.
"The #NuclearRegulationAuthority (NRA) announced Wednesday that #JapanAtomicPower Co. had failed to adequately address potential #SeismicRisks from active fault lines near the reactor, located in #FukuiPrefecture.
"The decision is a setback for Japan's energy policy, which aims to expand nuclear power to bolster energy stability and meet carbon neutral goals.
"'We reached our conclusion based on a very strict examination,' said NRA Chairperson Shinsuke Yamanaka. He called the eight-year review process 'abnormal' due to frequent disruptions from data inaccuracies and errors by Japan Atomic Power Co."
