Today is the anniversary of the Tohoku tsunami and earthquake; How many Japanese are still homeless?!
Mohammad Reza Eslami
Eight years have passed since the moment when the faults around Japan rumbled and the huge #tsunami hit dozens of cities and hundreds of coastal villages in Japan.
According to the statistics announced by Japan Times, 52,000 people are still not in their homes; It is hard to believe, but it is a statistic to consider. Even a country like Japan cannot easily overcome such a problem. link
Eight years ago on this day, I was in a meeting on the 10th floor of #Osaka City Hall when the building started shaking.
What is taught in structural dynamics books could be felt in the mirror: the building was going back and forth like the pendulum of a clock. About two minutes.
I thought that he should run away (and leave the building), but the Japanese present at the meeting were sitting with their hands on the table, waiting for the end of the shaking. The tremors lasted for a long time and they kept saying: Nagaina (how long!) Immediately after the earthquake, they took the TV. The center of the earthquake, near Sendai! It was strange for everyone that an earthquake occurred 800 kilometers away could shake the building so strongly. TV announced: Tsunami danger.
Eight years have passed and many things can be said about this earthquake. Repetitive and poetic words, similar to “how good the Japanese were and did not empty the supermarkets” and so on. Such praises and honors [which, of course, are sometimes not wrong].
But what is the serious and main message after this earthquake?
On March 11, Japan experienced a triple crisis
Triple disasters
However, the main experience of this earthquake in our country is not considered serious.
The main message of this earthquake was how dangerous a “nuclear power plant” can be in an “earthquake-prone region”. Today, the #Fukushima power plant has become a huge problem, and the progress in solving the problem is made millimeter by millimeter. an open wound completely open
It is said that the reconstruction of Fukushima may take several decades
Today, Monday, March 11, 2019, one million tons of radioactive water has accumulated in the tankers around the power plant, and this story continues.
Fukushima has become the cause of the pollution of a vast area, which in today’s modern world, due to the mass of bad news related to the Middle East and ISIS, sanctions and Trump. Few media outlets cover Fukushima.
Fukushima has been discussed on this channel in numerous posts. But our voice has not reached anywhere. “Today” we should have a specific resilience plan and a specific crisis management scenario for the #Bushehr power plant [a power plant designed by the Russians – who did not have much experience in seismic design – years before new developments and the latest revisions of earthquake standards] . It is a fact that in case of damage and destruction in this power plant, we do not have the robotic facilities of the Japanese. We don’t have “several decades” of power plant experience.
. I hope that this discussion will be considered more serious.
