A thought provoking interview with Arnie Gundersen.  In the third installment of Fairewinds’ Japan Speaking Tour Series, Chief Engineer Arnie Gundersen recounts his visit to a resettlement community of displaced refugees from the triple meltdown at Fukushima Daiichi. Meeting with 22 women, ages 17 to 60, Arnie is the first person who has met with them to talk about the effects of radiation during the 5-years that they have been evacuees. Nuclear industry reports from TEPCO and the local newspaper have been the only information available to the isolated groups of victims from the atomic disaster.

A woman introduced herself to Arnie, “I am 6A.” Stigmatized and reduced to a numbered identity, these women have suffered radiation poisoning, and been told that their symptoms are simply due to stress. Their homes destroyed, their health in jeopardy, and their future unknown – this is the outcome of nuclear risk.

my former title was Fukushima: Refugee Tensions in Pergatory w/ Arnie Gundersen

Animosity among refugees mount.
Comparing the Nagasaki and Hiroshima bombs to Fukushima - no comparison to danger risk.  However, socially, they are similar.
Keying cars, hormesis bull crap, internal hot particle fallout compared to bomb exposure - there is No comparison.  Each nuclear reactor at Fukushima had hundreds of Tonnes of radioactive debris.
Japan paying off victims and resettlement community struggles.
Tensions in pergatory - lives are in limbo. Everything has changed for these refugees - nothing is the same.  A slow death sentence to the villages / communities who return home.
Women are more radio-sensitive than men.  Children are more radio-sensitive than adults.
