It took over three years before the US acknowledged that a partial meltdown happened at Three Mile Island. A half year after Fukushima its still not clear what caused not one but three reactors to have full meltdowns, at least 3 hydrogen explosions, the undisclosed deaths of workers, billions of dollars of damages and radiation contamination that will effect the region far into the future. Here’s the additional details that played a major part in what happened.

The World Watch Institute released a detailed review of nuclear power around the world. The report shows that nuclear is declining and is no longer competitive with or as desirable as renewables or energy efficiency.
Fukushima has put a damper on public support for nuclear worldwide as shown by a number of polls. As the 6th month anniversary of Fukushima approaches, we can expect the nuclear industry to unleash a global campaign to promote itself, on a par not seen in years. As the radiation, lies and deceit leak out of Japan, it will be important for the alternative media to compile what’s happening and why the nuclear nabobs need to be put in their place.

Activists are suspicious of “studying the problem” that puts off action in favor of endless talk (or publishing). Culture Change went beyond studying the problem soon after its founding in 1988: action and advocacy must get to the root of the crises to assure a livable future. Also, information overload and a diet of bad news kills much activism. So it’s hard to find reading material to strongly recommend. But the new book Nuclear Roulette: The Case Against the “Nuclear Renaissance” is must-have if one is fighting nukes today.
