国際ニュース解説
Kashiwazaki-Kariwa Earthquake・【声明 ： 東京電力柏崎刈羽原子力発電所の閉鎖を
The Japanese government tried to blame the foreign media for scaring people, but the reality is that it is protecting the profits of big business: " This was not the biggest earthquake that could possibly hit Japan. This one was just a warning. There were enough failures this time to enable us to imagine what might happen if a bigger earthquake struck. In particular, we saw how the confusion caused by the earthquake led to errors and lapses of judgment. We saw equipment failures which in themselves might be manageable, but which, when compounded with the many other failures that earthquakes inevitably cause, could have been catastrophic. Unfortunately, there is no indication that the government will prioritize safety over the narrow economic interests of the power companies." MORE 【声明 ： 東京電力柏崎刈羽原子力発電所の閉鎖を訴える】 More in Japanese
