Column of the Day: Out of the daily reports

Column & Breaking News

I post series of the news everyday,but there are actually more articles that I don’t post,
because they are not backed up enough.

However,I’d like to show a couple of ones.
I know the source of them,but there is no concrete safe ground.

1) Theme ; Abandoned Fukushima workers.
Source ; http://www.mbs.jp/voice/(News of Mainichi hoso)

Japanese ;
原発で働く労働者には被曝手帳が交付されますが、その数が福島の事故後、3倍になっています。

そして、作業員の方3名に取材が出来て、その中の一人Nさん(仮名、61歳)は地震当日福島原発にいて、そこから出る際にサーベイメーターの検査を受けていたものの、それでは間に合わないと受けずに出て高台の事務所に逃げて助かった、受けていたら津波にやられていたということでした。また、事故後福島で働き、瓦礫の山であり、怪我をしたら内部被曝で大変なことになると恐れていました。

そして、東電の体制は、その直下に下請け会社3社+日立、東芝、GEがいて、その下に何次もの下請けがあり、何と470数社もの下請けになっているのです。作業員の手当てはピンハネされていて、暴力団関係者が、福島関係の人出の要請が多く、やるたびに儲かる(ピンハネできる)、もし、金をもっとくれと言うなら、生きて帰れない状況があるというのです。

また、原発で働く人のうち、電力会社の正規社員は何と1割で、9割が下請けであり、当然、被曝量も下請けがたくさんになります。そして、年間被曝量の限度があるためたくさんの人が必要になり、そのため非正規の労働者のほうが集めやすいし、こういう求人システムが悪用され、ピンハネも多い(福島県いわき市での原発求人は、日当8000円ほどで、応募する人も少ない)のです。

こういう状況、東電の方は、下請けのことは知らないとコメントしています(例の、テレビに良く出る松本と言う人のコメントです)が、さすがに厚労省も調査に入っています。

下請け作業員には、解雇され、日雇いで雇用され、健康保険にも入れない人もいるのです。

冒頭に出てきたNさん、自分たちの働いてきた原発だから、自分たちで処置しないとの使命感から働いています。しかし、福島で3、4月に働いていた作業員のうち、184名の行方が分かっていません。

東電は、福島で働いた人のケアを長期にやると言っていますが、怪しいものです。

English ;
Since 311,Nuc workers increased as 3 times as before.The news reporters managed to take a contact with 3
actual Fukushima workers,and one of them was cooperative.(Mr.N 61years old.)
He was right at the plant when the earthquake hit.Workers were supposed to have survey meter to
leave the site,but they queued too long.Mr.N thought he’d be killed by Tsunami,he escaped to an office on a near hill,and survived.
He’s been working at the plant since 311 too,but afraid of the internal exposure,especially when he gets injured,he’d be severely exposed.

Management of those workers are pretty complicated and somewhat unclear.Under Tepco,there are 3 sub-contract companies,Hitachi,Toshiba,GE,and there are even more sub-contract companies under them.The total number of those companies are over 470.This is how they exploit the fee of those workers.Japanese mafia is deeply involved in hunting those workers.They earn the money every time they hunt someone.Once a worker claims to be paid as he’s promised,he’d be left there to die.

Among all the workers,Tepco’s employees are only 10% of all.The rest of 90% are from those sub-contract workers.Nobody properly manage their dose rate.
Actual daily salary of those workers from sub-contract workers are only 8,000JPY.They are hired contemporary,and easily fired.They are not even allowed to have health insurance,which is mandatory for normal workers in Japan.

Mr.N is feeling responsibility for the plant because that’s where he has been working.However,still 184 workers are missing since 311.

Tepco says they will look after the workers for a long span but there are not so much people to trust their statement.

2) Theme ; Bura bura disease
Source ; A Japanese forum

Japanese ;
福島から県外避難済みなんだけど毎日身体がだるくて動けない。
身体を起こそうとしても動くのは肉体じゃなくて魂
うっかり幽体離脱しちゃう位疲れてるのって被曝症状なのかな

English ;
Bura bura disease was found after Hiroshima and Nagasaki. Survivors of the atomic bomb ,started having serious fatigue later.It last for decades,people thought them to be lazy.
They couldn’t stand for longer than 20 minutes but doctors couldn’t find the reason why.
They started having leukemia later and died in poverty because they couldn’t work.

Even in Chernobyl,children in Belarus or Ukraine showed similar symptom.Schools shorten the class from 1 hour to 20 minutes etc..The latest study suggests it might be from the damaged mitochondria.

and now Fukushima people are starting to show similar symptom,Bura bura disease.

This comment was written on a Japanese major forum.
“I evacuated from Fukushima,but I’m feeling super dull recently.can’t even move.Even if I try to stand up,my body doesn’t stand ,only my “mind” stands up leaving my body on the floor,I feel.feeling so tired that I could even astral projection,is it related to radiation ?”

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.
