  5. SimplyInfo.org: 15th Anniversary Report #FukushimaDaiichi

    March 2, 2026

    Excerpt: "This TV Asahi investigative report from March 2025 [linked below] paints a sobering picture of the enormous challenges still facing the decommissioning of Fukushima Daiichi, fourteen years after the accident. While #TEPCO achieved a milestone the previous November by extracting roughly 0.7 grams of #NuclearFuel debris for the first time, experts interviewed for the piece emphasized that debris removal is just one piece of a far more complex puzzle. Around 1,000 fuel assemblies
    still remain in the spent fuel pools of Units 1 and 2, untouched since the accident, and officials from the Nuclear Damage Compensation and Decommissioning Facilitation Corporation (#NDF) described clearing these pools as the single most urgent priority — in part because another
    #earthquake or #tsunami could strike at any time.

    "Before large-scale debris removal can even begin, the area around the reactor buildings must be cleared of heavily contaminated structures and exhaust stacks to make room for the massive equipment required. Because humans cannot safely approach the highly radioactive debris, all removal work must be done remotely. Radiation levels outside the buildings remain dangerously high — a dosimeter near #Unit2 showed particularly elevated readings — and contaminated water continues to be generated at a rate of roughly 80 tons per day as #rainwater and #groundwater contact radioactive materials on site, despite TEPCO having already released about 80,000 tons of treated [but still radioactive] water into the ocean.

    "Perhaps the most troubling concern raised in the article is what happens to the debris and #RadioactiveWaste after it is removed. Hiroshi Miyano, chairman of the Decommissioning Review Committee of the Atomic Energy Society of Japan, was blunt in his criticism, saying no serious thought has been given to managing this waste over the coming century or two.

    "The Fukushima debris is uniquely complicated because it is a mixture of melted nuclear fuel and structural materials, and experts warned that removal may not even be possible until a concrete disposal plan is in place. General decommissioning superintendent Toyoshi Fukada warned that without proper storage facilities ready in advance, the entire decommissioning effort could eventually grind to a halt simply because there would be nowhere to put the waste."

  12. LIVE: #WesternMiningActionNetwork in #Montreal

    MONTREAL -- "The Western Mining Action Network is meeting today in Montreal, with speakers from the network's #IndigenousCaucus speaking on the #NuclearFuelChain, defending the water and land, and the rights stated in the United Nations Declaration on Indigenous Peoples [#UNDIP].

    The Deadly Nuclear Fuel Chain

    "#PetuucheGilbert, #AcomaPueblo, said there should be more concern over the #NuclearFuel chain, #radiation and #UraniumMining. The nuclear fuel chain includes the making of the #AtomicBomb, and the #NuclearWaste from #SpentFuelRods in #NuclearPowerPlants.

    "In his homeland, in the Grants mining district in #NewMexico, the abandoned #UraniumMines are #radioactive hazards affecting the water, air and the animals on the ground.

    "Nearby on the #NavajoNation, there are more than 500 abandoned uranium mines and there are massive #UraniumMill waste sites, where the ore was processed. These all emit #RadonGas. He pointed out that the #McArthurRiver, #KeyLakeUranium Mine and mill in northern #Saskatchewan, Canada is the world's largest uranium mine and mill.

    "Petuuche said he believes that the cancers now that the people in his area are suffering from are a result of radioactivity. There was also the atomic bomb testing in Nevada. All of that radioactivity spread over the entire United States. #Downwinders breathing the radioactivity in the air are also radiation victims."

  14. The growing movement of #Indigenous leaders across #NorthernOntario opposing #NuclearWaste dump

    'We live off the land every day. It’s the most precious food market we have in the world'

    October 3, 2024
    Jon Thompson

    "#FirstNations opposing nuclear waste burial in northwestern Ontario are growing in number and are now mobilizing across the region.

    "A fledgling movement of Indigenous leaders hosted a small rally with non-Indigenous allies in #ThunderBay on Wednesday, with a refrain of 'Gaa-Wiin,' the #Anishinaabemowin word meaning 'no' to nuclear waste burial.

    "The demonstration followed a letter signed by nine chiefs last week, asking the Nuclear Waste Management Organization to respect their will not to bury Canada’s most #radioactive nuclear waste in a #DeepRepository site between the town of #Ignace and #WabigoonLake #Ojibway First Nation.

    "The #NWMO is expected to issue a final decision by year’s end as to whether it will transport used #NuclearFuel, produced since the 1960s, by either train or highway over 1,600 kilometres to a deep geological repository. If the Ignace is chosen over Bruce County, where nuclear energy and its waste is produced, transportation would begin in the 2040s and will take 40 years to complete.

    "Although the site selection process has been underway for 20 years, the looming final decision has prompted political actions, including a larger #ThunderBay demonstration in April and a march last month along the highway near the proposed site.

    "'I don’t know why some people just don’t understand,' Asubpeeschoseewagong #Anishinabek (#GrassyNarrows First Nation) #ChiefRudyTurtle told the crowd of around 300 people. 'It’s so simple: no means no. That’s all it is. Why can’t you understand that? We are saying no, we don’t want nuclear waste.'"

    "Thirteen First Nations have now signed on to last week’s statement opposing the repository, including #NorthwestAngle #33, whose leadership committed to the cause on Wednesday. Signatories include #FortWilliamFirstNation, #Gakijiwanong #Anishinaabe (#LacLaCroix First Nation), #GullBayFirstNation, #Kitchenuhmaykoosib #Inninuwug (#BigTroutLake First Nation), #MuskratDam First Nation, #Neskantaga First Nation, #NetmizaaggamigNishnaabeg (Pic Mobert First Nation), #Ojibways of #Onigaming, #ShoalLake #40 First Nation, #Wapekeka First Nation, #WauzhushkOnigum Nation."
