The July 2012 Report of the independent parliamentary panel in Japan on the Fukushima Nuclear Plant disaster

06/11/2010

The report says the accident was "a profoundly man-made disaster," and a disaster 'Made in Japan.' " It is sharply critical of TEPCO and the Japanese government response. A critical flaw is the location of the safety agency NISA inside the same ministry that promotes nuclear power, thus associating the agency with the 'nuclear bloc' in Japan and dangerously compromising its performance. The Japanese people have a growing skepticism that the nuclear industry will make the changes needed for safety.

We took a different way to help millions around the world build educated informed mindsets that affects and shapes their lives. For a future that is open, global and digital, with everyone having access to high quality information. We believe in the renewal of America, renewal of Europe, the renewal of India, the rest of Asia, Latin America and Africa. The renewal of our supply chains, health, education, infrastructure, as we rebuild our countries after the pandemic. Literacy and knowledge we believe cannot thrive and grow in a world of web bots, web crawlers, or AI. This requires human curiosity, human learning, and human imagination. We take as inspiration the saying- “One has to be free, and as broad as sky. One has to have a mind that is crystal clear, only then can truth shine in it.” Every contribution whether big or small is precious- in this crisis and ahead.
