Japan Plays Down Fukushima as Questions about Nuclear Energy Remain

SHORT VIDEO CLIPS, 19 Mar 2012

Paul Jay – The Real News Network

Masaki Oshikawa: “Experts told us that reactors in earthquake zones were safe but computer models can’t reproduce reality.”

Masaki Oshikawa is a theoretical physicist and a physics professor at the University of Tokyo who was interviewed for the journal Science about the Fukushima nuclear accident and is engaged in a local Japanese community movement to tackle the nuclear contamination problem.

    Thank you, TMS editor, for posting this important video.

    Japanese mass media do not report things related to radioactivity of “Fukushima” these days, as if they have forgotten about “Fukushima,” or as if nothing happened in Fukushima on March 11, 2011. Mass media in Japan reported the first anniversary ceremony only; no substantial information on the after-effect of radioactivity, caused by “Fukushima.”

    Computer models? There is much room in computer models to be manipulated in order for experts (hired by the government) to produce “desirable outcomes.” Computer models produce different outcomes, depending on data input to it. If experts want to show, through the computer model, how the nuclear reactor is safe, they know which data to input to the computer model program.

    Needless to say, the data produced by the computer model is used to convince the public. “Seeing is believing.” Radioactivity and its potential hazard to the public can hardly be seen, but the computer model can easily be seen on the computer screen. So, the public believe what the computer model indicates. A large percentage of the public still worship the computer as a “contemporary god/deity.”
