Japan’s Tepco to suspend all nuclear operations
Tokyo Electric Power Co. said Thursday it will suspend operations of the No. 6 reactor at the Kashiwazaki-Kariwa nuclear power plant in Niigata Prefecture on March 26 for a periodic check, a plan that will take all of its 17 reactors out of service, Kyodo News reported. [...]
Niigata Gov. Hirohiko Izumida said the factors that triggered the 2011 crisis at the six-reactor Fukushima Daiichi plant must be examined and identified before the seven are allowed to restart operations. [...]
Among Japan’s 54 commercial reactors, only two will be in operation [...] Both will go offline for regular checkups by late April.

I don’t believe it either…NO amount of closures or loss of revenue is going to make up for the damage done to life on this planet.
The industry will not find any sympathy here.
We want help for the people..the CHILDREN of Fukushima..and all of those in affected areas.
Your company’s lies are meaningless..in the minds and hearts ..of this rational and caring crowd.

They are just going to “examine” them…..after which, they will RE-start operation.
They will throw us a bone, cuz there is no meat on it.

Good news! Japan will be an operating nuclear power station free zone by April of 2012…
That is hopeful. Along with the other nations that shut down or plan to shut down all of their nuclear power plants, we are making progress.. one step at a time..
Keep it positive.. Focus on the successes, not the failures.
What you focus on grows.

From 54 to ZERO plants operating in about a year…
In my mind, this is a miracle.
In Sacramento, local voters shut down an operating nuclear power plant and dismantled it, despite it having many more years left on the operating permit.
This can be done peoples… It is just about the will to do it, and then following through with ACTIONS.
