Crime in the Nuclear Industry

criminal activities are rife in global nuclear industry.”As prime minister
of Japan at the time of the [Fukushima] disaster, I now believe that the
time has come for Japan and the world to end its reliance on nuclear
power,” Naoto Kan writes in the introduction of the World Nuclear Industry
Status Report 2021 (WNISR). “Around once a year, I still visit the remains
of the Fukushima Daiichi site. Even though ten years have passed, progress
in the decommissioning process remains frustratingly slow, driving home to
me the importance of avoiding any repeat of such an event. “The large
quantities of radioactive debris that remain within the stricken reactors
continue to release alarming levels of radiation. We already know from the
example of Chernobyl that the timescale needed for this nuclear waste to
drop to safe radioactivity levels will be measured in terms of centuries.”
