But did they know what they were doing 40 years ago when Fukushima Dai-ichi was constructed? Did they know the risk? Did they even try to mitigate the risk? TEPCO is behind the 8 Ball, "a difficult position from which it is unlikely one can escape." They knew what could happen and they did not care. They sold out for thirty pieces of silver.
Here is the message on the TEPCO webpage:
We deeply apologize to the people of Fukushima and broader society for the tremendous inconvenience and anxiety caused by the accident at Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Station. TEPCO's hollow apology to Japanese citizens
Did you get that? Fukushima is an "inconvenience."
Let's explore how Fukushima Daiichi came to be. Kazutaka Kikawada was the president of TEPCO when the plant was first built.
Kikawada knew very well that Japan would have hell to pay:
Kazutaka Kikawada ran track and field at Fukushima’s Yamafunyu Elementary School before becoming the local boy made good, attending the elite University of Tokyoand carving out a career that made him president of Tokyo Electric Power Co.
Little remembered after his death more than three decades ago, Kikawada made what he called a “deal with the devil” to take the utility known as Tepco into nuclear power. That decision provided energy to Toyota Motor Corp. (7203), Sony Corp. (6758) and the other companies that built Japan from the devastation of World War II into the world’s second-largest economy. The Fukushima disaster came 66 years after the atomic destruction of Hiroshima and Nagasaki and may mark a turning point in Japan’s future as fundamental as the bombs that ended the war. Kazutaka Kikawada's deal with the devil and Atom's For Peace
And who was the devil that Japan made a deal with? Dwight Eisenhower, General Electric and the CIA (Paperclipped Nazis) of course. Eisenhower was a member of the Council on Foreign Relations (CFR) and also a member of the Jehova's (FALSE) Witnesses.
U.S. President Dwight Eisenhower’s solution was the “Atoms for Peace” program to use U.S. plutonium to provide nuclear fuel for its allies.
The plan had the advantage of making allies dependent on technology from corporate giants General Electric Co. (GE) and Westinghouse, according to Michael Donnelly, a professor of political science at the University of Toronto who studies Japan’s nuclear program.
Still, officials in both the U.S. and Japan had to work on persuading the public that nuclear technology could have a civilian use. Nuclear supporters in Japan were helped by the U.S. Central Intelligence Agency, says Tetsuo Arima, a professor of media studies at Tokyo’s Waseda University who studied declassified documents on postwar relations between the two countries in the U.S. National Archives and Records Administration to establish the link.
Among the CIA’s Japanese allies in the propaganda effort was Matsutaro Shoriki, owner of the Yomiuri newspaper and Nippon Television, Japan’s first commercial TV station. The newspaper - - now the world’s biggest with 10 million copies published daily-- wrote a series of pro-nuclear articles from Jan. 1954 viewed by the U.S. government as a success, according to the book“Nuclear Power, Shoriki and the CIA,” written by Arima and published in 2008. Atom's For Peace built the Japanese nuclear industry
Atoms For Peace? What a crock!
1 Thessalonians 5:3 For when they shall say, Peace and safety; then sudden destruction cometh upon them, as travail upon a woman with child; and they shall not escape.
Even kid friendly mark-of-the-beast pusher Walt Disney was involved in the CIA psyop to lie to the Japanese people:
The Walt Disney Co. (DIS) was also roped into the effort. The 1957 cartoon “Our Friend, The Atom,” released as part of the company’s Tomorrowland project and depicting the positive benefits of a world harnessing atomic energy, was run on Shoriki’s TV channel, Arima wrote. Walt Disney worked for the CIA to push nuclear power onto the reluctant Japanese people
Funny that Mickey Mouse looks a lot like the TEPCO logo:
Perhaps the most poignant image of the Fukushima nuclear disaster may be the mystic four foot-high 700 year old stone, reportedly one of hundreds of similar signs near Fukushima, warning people not to build housing below that point due to previous tsunamis that had destroyed local villages. Just 300 feet down from the stone sits a blue line painted on the road marking the highest point reached by the Fukushima tsunami: 127.6 feet (38.8 m).
700 Year Old Fukushima Tsunami Warning:
“High dwellings are the peace and harmony of our descendants. Remember the calamity of the great tsunamis. Do not build any homes below this point.” TEPCO Ignored 700 year old tsunami warnings
But even this is not the full story of the greed and arrogance of those who built the Fukushima nuclear complex:
Tepco, assuming tsunami 3.1 meters or higher would never hit the coast, reduced the bluff by some 25 meters and erected the plant on artificially prepared ground only 10 meters above sea level.
The tsunami easily flooded the compound and knocked out the power systems, including those for running the critical reactor core coolant equipment. The meltdowns became inevitable. TEPCO lowered the Fukushima power plant site and made it far more vulnerable to tsunami
They lowered the ground that the plant was to be built upon by 25 meters (82 feet) placing it only 10 meters (33 feet) above sea level. And why? To lower cost. In a location that was known for centuries as a tsunami hot spot they lowered the ground at the coast and built a nuclear power plant on it. It made countless people wealthy and contributed to the unprecedented prosperity that Japan experienced. Look at the price. There has been partial meltdown. No one knows the full toll to the world that has already been meted out. There is doubtless more to come. Look at the psyop they pulled to get it built. Do you really believe them when the say that the plant is at Level 3??? I don't.
There are 1300 fuel rods in the building that is falling apart and they are on the top floor. The 1300 spent fuels rods weigh 400 tons and must be removed by human beings not robotics. They can go critical at any time meaning an uncontrollable chain reaction that has no precedent. Leaving them alone is a ticking time bomb. Moving them is a time bomb that ticks faster and louder.
