Nuke Info Tokyo No. 213 (March/April 2023)

Fukushima Now: Futaba Station, in the town that hosts Fukushima Daiichi, has been rebuilt, complete with glimmering neon lights, but just a short distance away abandoned houses remind us that the nuclear disaster continues even after 12 years.

Nuke Info Tokyo is a bi-monthly newsletter that aims to provide English speaking friends with up-to-date information on the Japanese nuclear industry and the movements against it.
