*************************************************************************** ***********
The Rokkasho reprocessing plant in Aomori is a chemical factory to process nuclear spent fuels (nuclear trash) produced at 55 nuclear power plants across Japan. Once the full scale operation begins, it would release one year worth of radiation into the sky and ocean. How many of us are aware that “the environment and food are about to be polluted by dumped radiation across the land and sea as a part of a Japan’s energy policy.” The level of predicted pollution has already been publically announced, but there’re almost no press reports.
It’s all about the energy that every one of us depends on. “Will we just let it be?” We are committed to question from a major energy consuming site of Tokyo, share this issue with as many people, and widely disperse the concern.
This is a fun and entertaining event for everyone. Please come along with your friends and family!

■A PLANT TO EXTRACT DEADLY PLUTONIUM
Plutonium is super toxic substance as much as “5 sugar cubes of it would wipe out the entire Japanese population.” In the extraction process, Rokkasho reprocessing plant under the normal operation releases radiation 300 times more than that at a regular nuclear power station and will operate over approximately 40 years. The related costs in reprocessing is announced to be approximately 19 trillion yen, and it’s already been deducted from our electricity bills.
■NATIONALLY-SPREADING VOICE OF “NO! REPROCESSING”
Concerns over the quasi-permanent effect of radiation is significantly growing. Many farmers, fishermen, sea-loving surfers, and supporters for environment and safe food get together regardless of their positions to oppose to the reprocessing plant. Their voice has been widely spreading across Japan. According to a report by a group of scientists in this May, “an active fault is located directly under nuclear fuel cycle facilities at Rokkasho reprocessing plant. If it’s connected to the fault of shelf edge, an 8-magnitude earthquake would be possible to occur.” This remark is raising general fears.
*As of Oct.20th, it is announced that “the full operation of reprocessing plant will resume in this November.” However, it’s been delayed 14 times so far, and the latest schedule is most likely to be postponed according to the press.
