Seismologists are predicting a mega-quake and tsunami in the Nankai Trough region, which extends along the Pacific coast of central to western Japan. The area has been hit by large quakes throughout history. Taiwan rally calls for scrapping nuclear plant Thousands of Taiwanese have taken part in a rally to call for stopping the construction of a nuclear plant near the capital, Taipei. Many people in Taiwan are increasingly worried about the safety of the plant under construction in Xinbei City following the accident at Japan's Fukushima Daiichi plant in March 2011. About 3,000 protesters took to the streets of central Taipei on Sunday. They included many mothers with children. They shouted that they do not need nuclear plants. Health survey begins in Japan's quake-hit region A group led by Japanese universities has launched a long-term health survey in 2 prefectures that were hit by the 2011 earthquake and tsunami. The survey conducted by Tohoku University and Iwate Medical University covers 150,000 residents of coastal communities in northeastern Japan. In these communities, 3 generations of a family typically live under the same roof. The project aims to collect their medical data for health promotion and development of new drugs. http://enenews.com/m6-quake-caused-leak-at-fukushima-daiichi-water-coming-from-pipe-of-units-5-6 http://enenews.com/m6-quake-caused-leak-at-fukushima-daiichi-water-coming-from-pipe-of-units-5-6 http://fukushima-diary.com/2013/05/plutonium-in-fukushima-nuclear-plant-significantly-increasing-max-as-632-within-8-months-of-2012/ http://fukushima-diary.com/2013/05/sr-90-in-fukushima-nuclear-plant-significantly-increasing-max-as-127-times-much-within-8-months-in-2012/ Meteorological Research Institute, "Cs-134/137 going deeper under ocean due to the subduction of winter" http://fukushima-diary.com/2013/05/meteorological-research-institute-cs-134137-going-deeper-under-ocean-due-to-the-subduction-of-winter/ http://fukushima-diary.com/2013/05/major-leakage-all-%CE%B2-nuclide-detected-in-1-5-m-from-reservoir-no-2/ Fukushima Nuclear Crisis Update for May 17th to May 20th, 2013 http://www.greenpeace.org/international/en/news/Blogs/nuclear-reaction/fukushima-nuclear-crisis-update-for-may-17th-/blog/45227/?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=Feed%3A+GreenpeaceNews+(Greenpeace+News) Generations have health affected by nuclear reactor accident radiation exposure (Video) http://www.examiner.com/article/generations-have-health-affected-by-nuclear-reactor-accident-radiation-exposure Physical Protection of Irradiated Reactor Fuel in Transit http://cryptome.org/2013/05/nrc-13-0520.pdf Why nuclear is still a booming business http://money.cnn.com/video/news/2013/05/21/ctd-urs-nuclear-power.fortune U.N. mulls excluding nuclear accidents from disaster prevention plan Kyodo News InternationalMay 21, 2013 08:16 http://www.globalpost.com/dispatch/news/kyodo-news-international/130521/un-mulls-excluding-nuclear-accidents-disaster-preventi Excerpt from March to Recovery ~ Ken Watanabe - Whatever I Can Do ~ Ken Watanabe, one of Japan's best-known actors, has repeatedly visited disaster stricken are...
