Column of the Day: Babel

Typhoon is coming up to North.

Today,Tepco said the pool for the spent fuel rods in unit 4 was broken,water is leaking.

I don’t know what will happen when typhoon hit the broken pool.

Now we are in the worst crisis in the entire human history.

Media is showing its powerlessness to feed us ZERO news about it.

We have been trying to fill the gap but I was down yesterday.

I have too much news to translate.

but it’s too important to translate with google.

so I opened a Facebook group called Translate Fukushima.

http://www.facebook.com/groups/204109909652224/

This is where you translate Japanese articles into English or other languages.

If you don’t read Japanese,you can translate English articles into German or French.

The concept is to spread the truth to everyone in the world.

Fukushima-Diary will be fed news from the group.

All the translated news can be freely used for any purpose.

Please use it for your blog,twitter,or facebook group etc..

The group is to unite all the anti-nuc activities in the world.

so I will translate English articles into Japanese to spread it in the Japanese websites.

We don’t require “perfect” translation.

Only if you can get what the news means,you can express it in English or other languages.

It will be a perfect translation with feedback.

so if you are interested in it,please join and help us.Save the world together.

Now especially Spanish and Korean are needed but other languages are needed as well.

We need more people.

  1. Mochizuki San,

    I write you from France. I follow your blog everyday, and I do thank you for all your daily updates. I do not want to suscrib to facebook, so unfortunatly, I cannot open the link. I know it’s possible to create a page without login. Would you please try so that I could participate for the translations. By the way, you have to know that’s there are several French blogs about Fukushima, where you can read all translations from Ex-SKF.

    Kind regards, take care of you and your family and keep on fighting, we are with you, and we don’t forget your country neither Japanese people.

  3. “Today,Tepco said the pool for the spent fuel rods in unit 4 was broken,water is leaking.”

    I think it’s a pipe that connects to the spent fuel pool. The leak it’s something like a liter per hour. A bit of precision on the reporting would be appreciated.

    “Now we are in the worst crisis in the entire human history.”

    Millions die every year for lack of food, water or medicines and you dare to talk about the worst crisis in the entire human history? Damn Japanese people in their little bubble of safety and wealth. It’s like until March 11 they had been living in Disneyworld.

    I would very much like to join a project to translate Japanese info about Fukushima into other languages, but you just don’t show any commitment to the truth and, frankly, the worst that could happen to the anti nuclear movement at the moment is to misreport the situation. Things are bad in Japan, nuclear energy is not viable. Those are facts supported by hard data. If we lie we are no better than Tepco.

    1. “but you just don’t show any commitment to the truth ”
      >What do you mean ? I put source links at the bottom of every article..?

    2. Para Nunca,

      The language Mochizuki uses might be a bit hyperbolic but it certainly doesn’t help to throw stones at each other, especially at this stage in the game. Help build up before you start tearing down.

  4. Thanks to the new technology that we have, it gives us the chance and opportunity to communicate and understand other people with different races and languages all over the world. I also help us to keep updated with what’s happening not just in our country but in other places as well.

  5. This is a appealing post by the way. I am going to go ahead and save this article for my brother to check out later on tomorrow. Keep up the high-quality work.

  6. I truly appreciate this post. I have been looking everywhere for this! Thank goodness I found it on Bing. You’ve made my day! Thanks again!

About this site

This website updates the latest news about the Fukushima nuclear plant and also archives the past news from 2011. Because it's always updated and added live, articles, categories and the tags are not necessarily fitted in the latest format.
I am the writer of this website. About page remains in 2014. This is because my memory about 311 was clearer than now, 2023, and I think it can have a historical value. Now I'm living in Romania with 3 cats as an independent data scientist.
Actually, nothing has progressed in the plant since 2011. We still don't even know what is going on inside. They must keep cooling the crippled reactors by water, but additionally groundwater keeps flowing into the reactor buildings from the broken parts. This is why highly contaminated water is always produced more than it can circulate. Tepco is planning to officially discharge this water to the Pacific but Tritium is still remaining in it. They dilute this with seawater so that it is legally safe, but scientifically the same amount of radioactive tritium is contained. They say it is safe to discharge, but none of them have drunk it.
