Noch 2026 soll das erste #AKW der #Türkei in Betrieb gehen. Die Testphase des AKW #Akkuyu hat bereits begonnen. Vier Reaktoren sollen nahe Akkuyu an der Mittelmeerküste 4.800 Megawatt Strom liefern.
Doch das Risiko ist hoch, denn das AKW liegt in der Nähe einer geologischen Bruchzone. Die Region gilt als erdbebengefährdet. Bei einem Erdbeben im Jahr 2023 gab es mehr als 140 Tote. Erinnerungen an die Katastrophe von #Fukushima werden wach.
Ein weiteres Risiko birgt die Zusammenarbeit mit dem russischen Atomkonzern #Rosatom. Das AKW Akkuyu gehört nicht der Türkei selbst: Auch nach der Fertigstellung bleibt Rosatom Eigentümer und Betreiber der Anlage. #Russland kontrolliert also eine strategisch wichtige Energieanlage in einem anderen Land – ein sicherheitspolitisches Risiko. Die Türkei plant bereits acht weitere AKW im Land.

Der Irankrieg und die Energiepolitik
Geschichte wiederholt sich nicht? Doch. Immer wenn die CDU den alten Energiekonzernen gefällig sein will, kommt die Weltgeschichte dazwischen. Das war am 11. März 2011 so. Und ist es seit dem 1. März 2026 wieder so.
Der Angriff der USA und Israels auf den Iran im März 2026 droht für die Energieversorgung Europas ähnliche Folgen zu haben, wie Putins Überfall auf die Ukraine.
Am 09. März sprang der Ölpreis zum ersten Mal seit langem auf über 100 Dollar pro Barrel. Der Gaspreis verdoppelte sich auf über 60 Euro die Megawattstunde. Es zeugt vom wirtschaftlichen ‚Sachverstand‘ der Bundeswirtschaftsministerin, wenn Katherina Reiche erklärt, es gäbe kein Mengen- sondern „bloß“ ein Preisproblem.
Die Preise sind schlechte Nachrichten für Unternehmen, die heute schon unter hohen Energiepreisen leiden. Es wird teuer, die leeren Gasspeicher zu diesen Preisen aufzufüllen. Am Ende wird Heizen teurer. Und es sind schlechte Nachrichten für Autofahrende. Bild hat schon die „Tankwut“ ausgerufen..
Noch können E-Auto-Besitzer an den verärgerten Tankstellenkunden fröhlich winkend vorbei fahren. Bleibt jedoch der Trend beim Gas, steigt auch der Strompreis. Für ihn ist die letzte eingespeiste Kilowattstunde entscheidend. Ist sie aus einem Gaskraftwerk, wird es teuer. Davor sind nur diejenigen gefeit, die einen Großteil ihres Stroms aus einer eigenen Solaranlage beziehen und damit fahren oder heizen.
Fossiler Rollback
Dieser Krieg trifft Friedrich Merz, Lars Klingbeil und Katherina Reiche völlig unvorbereitet. Anstatt Deutschland und Europa entschlossen zu modernisieren, es zu dekarbonisieren und damit unabhängiger von fossilen Energien zu machen, setzten sie auf eine nostalgische Energiepolitik. Es wird von Kernfusion fantasiert und über kleine Atomreaktoren räsoniert. Weil die erst in Jahrzehnten kommen und nicht wettbewerbsfähig sind, setzt Schwarz-Rot auf eine Laufzeitverlängerung für Fossile.
– Ausgerechnet als die E-Autos von Volkswagen die Teslas aus Europas Verkaufslisten zu verdrängen begannen, sollten Verbrenner länger zugelassen werden. Schwarz-Rot stufte Hybride, die auf der Straße viermal so viel CO2 ausstoßen als in ihrer Zulassung steht, als ‚klimaneutral‘ ein.
– Die Vorgabe, dass 65% der Wärme erneuerbar sein muss, soll mit dem „Teuer-Heizen-Gesetz“ (Grüne) entfallen. Auch die Fernwärmeanbieter werden davon befreit. Die steigenden Gaspreise landen so in den privaten Haushalten, wenn es die kommunale Wärmeplanung oder der Vermieter so will. Dem Erdgas sollen „grüne Gase“ zugemischt werden. Zu diesen Gasen zählt Wasserstoff, der mit Erdgas erzeugt wurde und dann dem Erdgas wieder beigemischt wird. Unsinnig, aber teuer.
– Statt Anreize für den Netzausbau zu schaffen, soll es ins Belieben von 800 örtlichen Verteilnetzbetreibern gestellt werden, ob sie Erneuerbare und Speicher ans Netz lassen. So werden nicht Netzausbau und Erneuerbare synchronisiert, sondern der Zubau von Erneuerbaren wird ausgebremst und Chancen für ein stabileres Netz liegengelassen.
– Ungerührt sieht Katherina Reiche zu, wie die nächste Ausschreibung für Off-Shore-Wind leerläuft. Der drohende Fadenriss bei Off-Shore gefährdet 50.000 Arbeitsplätze in Norddeutschland.
– Der Anreiz, zusätzliche Kapazitäten für PV-Strom auf privaten Dächern zu installieren, soll entfallen. In Zeiten, in denen Balkonkraftwerke boomen, sollen Haushalte von der EEG-Einspeisevergütung ausgeschlossen werden.
– Auf Druck Deutschlands versprach die EU Donald Trump, Flüssiggas im Wert von 750 Milliarden zu kaufen.
Selten sind die Interessen der Gaswirtschaft so eins zu eins von einer Regierung umgesetzt worden, wie durch die heutige Wirtschaftsministerin und ehemalige Gasmanagerin Katherina Reiche. Wer bei Trump und Musk den Kopf darüber schüttelte, wie unverfroren politische und wirtschaftliche Interessen verquickt werden, lernt nun, dass es das nicht nur in USA gibt.
Fukushima
Der Kampf um eine fossile Laufzeitverlängerung hat einen Vorläufer: Den Kampf der vier großen Energieunternehmen um eine atomare Laufzeitverlängerung 2011. E.on, RWE, Vattenfall und EnBW hatten den Ausbau der Erneuerbaren ignoriert und kräftig Marktanteile und an Unternehmenswert verloren. Um das auszugleichen, sollten ihre abgeschriebenen Atomkraftwerke länger laufen. Länger, als sie selbst im Atomkonsens von 2001 vertraglich zugesichert hatten. Solange diese Altanlagen ohne Kapitalkosten und mit geringen Personal- und Brennstoffkosten unfallfrei liefen, galten sie als „cash-cows“.
Die gut finanzierte Kampagne der Energiekonzerne war erfolgreich. Die 2009 gewählte schwarz-gelbe Koalition vereinbarte, den Atomkonsens aufzukündigen und die Laufzeiten der Atomkraftwerke zu verlängern. Dagegen demonstrierten Hunderttausende in Berlin, Gorleben und anderswo. Doch 2010 peitschte die Regierung von Angela Merkel das Gesetz durch den Bundestag.
Doch Atomkraft funktioniert nicht unfallfrei. Am 11. März 2011 explodierten – ausgelöst durch einen Tsunami – die Reaktorblöcke in Fukushima. Die Hoffnung der Atomkonzerne auf einen Milliarden-Extraprofit zerstieb in einer Knallgaswolke.
Mochte die Physikerin Angela Merkel der Atomkraft nicht völlig abgeneigt sein, eines hat sie immer vermieden. Sie ist nie zweimal gegen die gleiche Wand gerannt. Unter der Leitung von Klaus Töpfer wurde eine Kommission eingesetzt. Diese befand mit Zustimmung von BDI und IG Chemie, dass das Risiko der Nutzung der Atomkraft nicht unbegrenzt verantwortbar ist und empfahl zum rot-grünen Konsens von 2001 zurückzukehren.
Palliative Wirtschaftspolitik
Heute kämpft wieder eine Industrie mit einem nicht zukunftsfähigen Geschäftsmodell dafür, noch etwas länger Geld verdienen zu dürfen.
2011 wussten die Atomkonzerne, dass niemand ein neues Atomkraftwerk bauen würde. Es wäre viel zu teuer und nicht wettbewerbsfähig gewesen. E.on und RWE hatten eine erteilte Genehmigung für ein neues Atomkraft in Großbritannien sogar zurückgegeben.
2026 weiß die Gasindustrie, dass sie – trotz Trump – dauerhaft mit dem Verkauf von Erdgas keine Geschäfte machen wird. Physik, Ökonomie und Klimaschutz sprechen dagegen. Eine Wärmepumpe liefert mit einer Kilowattstunde Strom dreieinhalb Kilowattstunden Wärme. Doch während die Gaspreise explodieren, sinken die Kosten für erneuerbaren Strom.
Dieser in Deutschland mit dem EEG ausgelöste Effekt hat globale Folgen. 2024 waren 92,5 Prozent aller weltweit neu installierten Stromkapazitäten erneuerbar. Kohle-, Öl-, Gas- und Atomkraftwerke teilten sich zusammen noch eine Marktnische von 7,5 Prozent. Die Zahlen für 2025 sehen ähnlich aus.
Das ist einer der Gründe, warum die Autoindustrie weiß, dass der Verbrenner keine Zukunft hat. Europas Autoindustrie wird nur überleben, wenn sie sich schneller und nicht langsamer auf E-Mobilität umstellt. ‚Tankwut‘ war dann mal.
Merz, Klingbeil und Reiche aber praktizieren das Gegenteil. Anstatt den Wandel zu forcieren, bestrafen sie Vorreiter. Erneuerer werden ausgebremst, nicht wettbewerbsfähige Geschäftsmodelle subventioniert. Schwarz-Rot betreibt palliative Wirtschaftspolitik für nicht zukunftsfähige Geschäftsmodelle.
Resilienz
Das alles war schon vor dem Irankrieg richtig. Die vom Irankrieg ausgelöste Ölkrise aber offenbart eine weitere Dimension. Es geht um Europas Resilienz und Souveränität. Es ist nicht Zufall, sondern Strategie, dass Trumps Kriegslust mit dem Vorhandensein von Öl- und Gasquellen korreliert, ob in Venezuela, in Nigeria, in Grönland oder im Iran.
Es geht den USA um „Energie-Dominanz“. Dafür muss ihre Fähigkeit, global Preise zu gestalten gesichert werden. Europa soll in Abhängigkeit von fossilen Energien gehalten werden. Verteuert ein Krieg die Öl- und Gaspreise für den großen Rivalen China ist das willkommen. Willkommen ist auch, dass von gestiegenen Gaspreisen die US-Frackingindustrie profitiert. Sie kassieren Milliarden an Windfallprofits ein. Ihre halbe Milliarde Spenden für Trumps Wahlkampf war eine lohnende Investition.
Zahlen müssen die Zeche Asien und Europa. China reagiert auf die fossile Energiedominanz der USA mit einer konsequenten Strategie: Elektrifizierung und Ausbau der Erneuerbaren. Die Hälfte der globalen Erneuerbaren der letzten zwei Jahre ging in China ans Netz.
Schwarz-Rot hingegen versucht sich im fossilen Rollback. Der wird für Deutschland sehr teuer, wie die aktuelle Irankrise zeigt. Er ist ein Angriff auf Europas Souveränität. „Europäische Souveränität“ war die Botschaft von Friedrich Merz auf der diesjährigen Münchner Sicherheitskonferenz. Sie war seine Antwort, auf das Ende der transatlantischen Zuverlässigkeit. Doch dieser Erkenntnis folgt kein Handeln .
Freiheitsenergien
Der Irankrieg könnte das fossile Fukushima sein. Deutschland muss anfangen, resilienter zu werden. Wie 2011 Merkel kann es die Laufzeitverlängerung beenden – diesmal für Fossile. Es muss konsequent auf den Ausbau heimischer erneuerbare Energien setzen. Es sind „Freiheitsenergien“ wie sie Christian Lindner in einem selten hellen Moment mal nannte. Es gilt, moderne Industriepolitik zu betreiben statt palliativer Wirtschaftspolitik.
Angela Merkel hat ihre 180-Grad-Kehre 2011 nicht freiwillig gemacht. Sie stand unter massivem Druck der öffentlichen Meinung. Diesen Druck gilt es 2026 angesichts des Irankrieges wieder zu organisieren. 1700 Unternehmen in Deutschland haben das begriffen.

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."

#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."

#FukushimaDiary was a mainstay of news about what was / is going on at #Fukushima. The author, #IoriMochizuki, fled Japan, but still reported on #TEPCOLies and provided a valuable service by translating TEPCO documents and inconsistencies in #RadiationLevels. #Mochizuki is still active (though not as much as he used to be), and posted this story back in November 2024.
Former TEPCO Chairman #Katsumata’s Passing Sparks Reflections on Accountability in the #FukushimaDisaster
Katsumata’s Legacy as “The Emperor” of TEPCO
"Tsunehisa Katsumata, former chairman of Tokyo Electric Power Company (TEPCO), passed away at age 84 on October 21. Known as the 'Emperor' within TEPCO due to his powerful influence, Katsumata led the company through significant periods, including the 2011 Fukushima Daiichi nuclear disaster. However, despite his long-standing authority, he left without resolving key decommissioning issues at Fukushima.
Awareness of Tsunami Risk Without Action
"In February 2009, a critical internal meeting—later known as the 'Gozen Kaigi' (御前会議) —highlighted the risk of a tsunami exceeding the plant’s protective barriers. Despite this, Katsumata refrained from directing immediate countermeasures, even as the potential threat to Fukushima loomed.
Legal Challenges and Unpaid Compensation
"Following the Fukushima disaster, Katsumata and other former executives faced multiple lawsuits, including a landmark shareholder derivative suit that ordered him and three other former executives to pay over 13 trillion yen (around 100 billion USD). Despite this ruling, compensation had yet to be paid by the time of his passing.
"In July 2022, a civil court held TEPCO executives accountable for negligence regarding tsunami countermeasures, noting that if measures had been implemented, the disaster’s impact could have been significantly reduced. This marked the first time former management was deemed financially responsible on such a large scale.
Mixed Reactions to His Death
"The news of Katsumata’s death has triggered complex responses, especially among Fukushima survivors. Many feel unresolved anger, recalling his persistent denial of responsibility during trial testimonies, where he often claimed ignorance on technical matters. Katsumata’s departure symbolizes the long-standing challenges of achieving justice and closure for the victims of Fukushima."

So, one of the things my friend in Japan told me via DM is that the prices of peaches were raised -- in an attempt to make them seem more consumer-worthy -- despite that only a few peaches are actually tested for radiation (and also, the Japanese government raised the "safe" level of radiation -- just like we did here in the US)!
Can Overpriced Peaches Convince Us That #Fukushima Is Safe?
Years after a nuclear disaster wiped out Fukushima’s agriculture, peach growers are banking on #Harrods to sell the area’s recovery story

Japanese Fearful of Govt-Set Radiation Standards for Food
Suspicions government acting on behalf of producers, not public health
Common Dreams Staff
Mar 01, 2012As Japan has raised the permitted level of radiation in food by a factor of five, many Japanese are fearful that radiation has contaminated their diet.

A DM from a friend who is still monitoring the #FukushimaRadiation situation:
"Hi, DoomsdaysCW-san. I just want to leave a DM as _____-san kindly let me know about your citing about Harrods' #Fukushima peach. Peaches are grown in #FukushimaBasin located next to ex-evacuation area. #FukushimaCity, Date City, Kuwaori Town, and Kunimi Town are the major peach production communities. However, only 1 measurement of radioactive cesium is reported by each of those local government, in July when shipments of peach began in 2024. They are all "Not Detected", naturally, with 2.3 to 2.9 Bq/kg as lower detection limit.
"Fukushima Prefectural govt's test results are available at:
https://new-fukushima.jp/top"There are only 24 peach samples tested in the 2024 season. 1 each per those cities or towns that ship peaches. All N.D. [#NonDetected].

Um, a little bit late for that, eh #IAEA? Relying on #TEPCOLies all this time? How much water has already been released?!! IAEA expands #Fukushima water monitoring
The IAEA is initiating additional monitoring close to the #FukushimaDaiichi NPP, starting with marine sampling conducted by international experts to support the interlaboratory comparison related to the discharge of #ALPS treated water.
October 21, 2024"The International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) is taking the first practical steps towards additional monitoring near the Fukushima Daiichi NPP in Japan. The IAEA carried out marine sampling as an initial step, leveraging the presence of experts from various countries who were in Japan for a mission to collect samples for the latest IAEA interlaboratory comparison (ILC) related to the ALPS treated water discharge.
"The IAEA’s new measures follow announcements in September by China and Japan that indicated their mutual agreement to implement additional measures, which will facilitate wider participation of other stakeholders under the framework of the IAEA. The Agency confirms that this agreement is built on its existing sampling and monitoring activities in compliance with the IAEA statutory functions."
"International experts from China’s Third Institute of Oceanography, the Korea Institute of Nuclear Safety and Switzerland’s Spiez Laboratory – members of the IAEA’s Analytical Laboratories for the Measurement of Environmental Radioactivity (#ALMERA) network – participated in the marine sampling, which included taking samples for subsequent analysis in their own laboratories."

Oh noes! Not the same ##KashiwazakiKariwa nuclear facility that falsified data about seawater temperature, radioactive iodine releases and other falsifications, and near where the #JapanEarthquake2024 struck? NOT a good idea! Sounds like #JapanGov has NOT learned its lesson! "#TEPCOLies is close to obtaining approval to restart Unit 7 of its Kashiwazaki-Kariwa #NuclearPowerPlant in #Niigata prefecture."

More fried equipment? Not surprising! #Japan to resume trial removal of #radioactive #Fukushima nuclear debris amid safety concerns
10/25/2024
Fukushima, Japan - "The operator of Japan's stricken Fukushima nuclear plant will resume an operation to remove a sample of #HighlyRadioactive material next week, reports said Friday, after having suspended the effort over a technical snag.
"Extracting the estimated 880 tons of highly radioactive fuel and debris inside the former power station remains the most challenging part of decommissioning the facility, which was hit by a catastrophic tsunami in 2011.
"Radioactivity levels inside are far too high for humans to enter, and last month engineers began inserting an extendable device to try and remove a small sample.
"However, operator Tokyo Electric Power Company (TEPCO) had to halt the procedure after noticing that remote cameras on the apparatus were not beaming back images to the control center.
"TEPCO on Friday said it would resume the removal on Monday after replacing the cameras with new ones, the Asahi Shimbun daily and other local media reported.
"TEPCO officials could not immediately be reached to confirm the reports.
Safety of Fukushima #wastewater release in question
"Three of Fukushima's six reactors went into meltdown after a tsunami triggered by Japan's biggest earthquake on record swamped the facility in one of the world's worst atomic accidents.
"Japan last year began releasing into the #PacificOcean some of the 540 Olympic swimming pools' worth of contaminated reactor cooling water amassed since the catastrophe."

@thejapantimes Calling #nuclearpower a #cleanenergy is totally ignoring the costs of disposing spent #nuclearfuel &, in the worst possible case, the oft unfathomable costs of cleaning a #nuclearmeltdown.
#Bloomberg is so full of industry hawks peddling biased pseudo-journalistic articles like this. After witnessing public Japanese taxpayers footing the billions of dollars expense to cleanup the #Fukushima #nuclearwaste fiasco, why does #JapanTimes still think it apt to syndicate such propaganda? -

In the news lately -- revelations about how even low-level radiation can cause health problems. #JapanGov is pretending that #bioaccumulation doesn't exist (and apparently also believe in #RadiationHormesis -- which has been proven false). DRINK UP!
#Fukushima nuclear plant starts 2nd release of treated #radioactive #wastewater into the #sea
Japan’s wrecked #Fukushima #nuclear power plant says it has begun releasing a second batch of treated radioactive wastewater into the sea after the first round of discharges ended smoothly
ByMARI YAMAGUCHI Associated Press
October 4, 2023, 10:35 PM"Some scientists say, however, that the continuing release of low-level radioactive materials is unprecedented and needs to be monitored closely."
