In seinem Artikel “An update from Fukushima, and the challenges that remain there” schreibt Suzuki Tatsujiro, Vizedirektor und Professor am Research Center for Nuclear Weapons Abolition an der Nagasaki University, im November 2019:

“Lessons not learned. The ongoing technical, economic, and socio-political problems demonstrate that the nuclear power industry and the Japanese government haven't learned their lesson from the Fukushima accident, which is that transparency is the key to public trust. It is true that the quantity of information about cleanup has increased substantially over the years. But transparency means that the utilities and the government need to disclose information that the public needs, even when it is not favorable to them. One solution, which they have so far been unwilling to accept, would be to establish a truly independent third party to oversee their activities. Lack of such an independent oversight organization is one of the main causes for not taking alternative and possibly better, more appropriate measures over the last eight years.”  (Suzuki, 11. November 2019)

Zum Think Tank RECNA: Nagasaki University is the only university in the world that has inherited a medical college having experienced the atomic bombing. Achieving a “world free from nuclear weapons” is thus a paramount concern to the University. Research Center for Nuclear Weapons Abolition, Nagasaki University (RECNA), located in a city that was attacked by an atomic bomb, is an educational and research institute which is the interdisciplinary center of local academia with a firsthand experience of the horror of nuclear weapons. The objectives of RECNA are as follows:
1) Through academic research and analysis, to redefine the significance of Hiroshima and Nagasaki experiences in the light of the current world trend, and disseminate information and make proposals from various aspects towards abolishing nuclear weapons; 2) Making best use of such a process and outcomes of its research and analysis, to contribute to university education.
RECNA, as a think tank open to the local community longing for nuclear weapons abolition, operates in close cooperation with partners including Nagasaki City and Nagasaki Prefecture.

Die Vereinten Nationen (UN) stimmten am Montag, dem 9. Dezember, einem Beschluss zu, während der Sommerspiele 2020 in Japan weltweit einen Waffenstillstand einzuhalten. Auch sonst wurden viele ehrenwerte Ziele aus dem Arsenal aktuell gängiger Slogans verlautbart: Friede, Toleranz, Dialog, Versöhnung – bis hin zur gender balance.

„The U.N. General Assembly unanimously approved a resolution Monday urging all nations to observe a truce during the 2020 Summer Olympics in Japan, saying sports can play a role in promoting peace and tolerance and preventing and countering terrorism and violent extremism. Diplomats burst into applause as the assembly president announced the adoption of the resolution by the 193-member world body.”

“Yoshiro Mori, head of the Tokyo organizing committee for the 2020 games, introduced the resolution calling on U.N. members states to observe the truce around next year’s Summer Olympics, being held July 24-Aug. 9, and the Paralympics, following on Aug. 25-Sept. 6. The resolution also urges nations to help “use sport as a tool to promote peace, dialogue and reconciliation in areas of conflict during and beyond” the games. Thomas Bach, president of the International Olympic Committee, told the General Assembly that as the United Nations approaches its 75th anniversary next year, an Olympic year, there is no better time to celebrate the shared values of both organizations to promote peace among all countries and people of the world.”

“Looking ahead, Bach announced that “we will achieve gender balance at the Olympic Games for the first time in Tokyo, with the highest-ever number of female athletes in history at about 49%.”He said Tokyo 2020 also aims “for carbon-neutral games,” saying medals will be made from recycled electronics and renewable energy and zero-emission vehicles will be used.

“It also notes that the Summer Olympics will give Japan the opportunity to express gratitude to countries and people around the world for their “solidarity and support” after the 2011 earthquake and ‘to deliver a powerful message to the world on how it has been recovering.’”

Auf das Problem der radioaktiven Strahlung findet sich in der stets gleichlautenden Verlautbarung und in den Presse-Artikeln kein Hinweis.

„Am Startpunkt für den Fackellauf der olympischen Sommerspiele 2020 in Tokio hat die Umweltschutzorganisation Greenpeace deutlich erhöhte Radioaktivität gemessen. Demnach liege die Strahlenbelastung am 20 Kilometer von Fukushima entfernten Sportzentrum mit bis zu 1,7 Mikrosievert pro Stunde deutlich über den zulässigen Grenzwerten. Erlaubt seien 0,23 Mikrosievert, in Tokio sogar nur 0,04. Der Betreiber des 2011 von der nuklearen Katastrophe betroffenen Kernkraftwerkes gab hingegen bekannt, man habe die betroffenen Punkte der Region auf Anweisung des Umweltministeriums gereinigt.

Die zweiten Sommerspiele in Japan nach 1964 starten am 24. Juli 2020.“ (Deutschlandfunk, 5. 12. 2019)

„Nach einem Treffen mit Überlebenden sagte er in Tokio, Bewohner der Region fühlten sich vergessen. Franziskus brachte auch die Sorge vor der Nutzung der Atomenergie zur Sprache, ohne sich allerdings klar zu positionieren. Die katholischen Bischöfe Japans hatten jüngst einen Ausstieg aus der Atomenergie gefordert.“ (Deutschlandfunk)

„Der Papst erwähnte, dass sich japanische Bischöfe im Vorfeld besorgt über die fortdauernde Nutzung der Kernenergie im Land geäußert und eine Abschaffung der Atomkraftwerke verlangt hatten. Explizit zu eigen machte er sich die Forderung nicht.“ (Deutsche Welle)

„Synopsis for Michihito Fujii's The Journalist (Shinbun kisha) from Kadokawa International Sales (Kadokawa Corporation / K.K. Kadokawa): "A Tokyo newspaper reporter named Yoshioka (Shim Eun Kyung) receives an anonymous fax about a confidential construction project for a new university. Raised in the US with a Japanese father and Korean mother, she has a very personal drive in her work as a journalist, and is determined to find the truth. Meanwhile, Sugihara (Tori Matsuoka), a bureaucrat at the Cabinet Information Research Office, finds himself torn. In contrast to his conviction to 'serve the people', he is given the duty to control any type of news that may be inconvenient to the current administration..."

https://www.japantimes.co.jp/culture/2019/06/26/films/film-reviews/journalist-uncovering-dark-side-japan/#.XdYg9NUxlZg: „The media’s handling of the 2011 Fukushima nuclear disaster, in particular, convinced a generation of online warriors that most news organizations weren’t so much speaking truth to power as speaking whatever the people in power wanted them to. There’s ample drama to be found in the relationship between the government and the press, and “The Journalist” is a brave, well-intentioned attempt to package it into a conventionally entertaining thriller. That a film like this even exists is heartening, even if the end product is far from perfect.“ (Japan Times)
