“The number of children and grandchildren with cancer in their bones, with leukemia in their blood, or with poison in their lungs might seem statistically small to some, in comparison with natural health hazards. But this is not a natural health hazard—and it is not a statistical issue. The loss of even one human life, or the malformation of even one baby—who may be born long after we are gone—should be of concern to us all. Our children and grandchildren are not merely statistics toward which we can be indifferent.”

John F. Kennedy, July 26th, 1963

Landowners’ compensation to be reduced

From: the Japan News

The Yomiuri ShimbunWhen buying land in Fukushima Prefecture to house interim storage facilities for radiation-contaminated waste, the government has decided to calculate landowners’ compensation based on the premise that land values have dropped since evacuation orders were issued.
The amount will be finalized after taking into consideration the utility value of the sites after the evacuation instruction is lifted. The government is hoping to gain understanding from the relevant municipalities because the loss incurred by the diminished value will be complemented by separate compensation from Tokyo Electric Power Co.
The government is considering building facilities in three towns—Okuma, Naraha and Futaba—in the prefecture to store contaminated soil and other waste from decontamination work related to the crisis at TEPCO’s Fukushima No. 1 nuclear power plant.
