“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

NHK falls prey to Streisand Effect

FROM: ENFORMABLE NUCLEAR NEWS

Japanese public broadcaster NHK has also apparently fallen into the Streisand Effect this week, and the story is going viral internationally.
Toru Nakakita, a professor of economics at Toyo University, has regularly appeared on an NHK morning radio broadcast called “Radio Asa Ichigan”, but cancelled his appearance this week after being asked by NHK to change the subject of the program from the cost of restarting nuclear reactors, the fact that the cost of decommissioning nuclear power plants is not adequately reflected on licensees’ balance sheets, and the risk of accidents at nuclear power plants to something else.
When Nakakita submitted his script to NHK the day before his broadcast, NHK officials ordered him, “Please do not take up this subject because it could affect voting behavior.”
