Fukushima-Daiichi: An Accident Waiting to Happen

CCTV Host Margaret Harrington speaks with Maggie and Arnie Gundersen of Fairewinds about Arnie's recent trip to Japan and their report for Greenpeace about the Fukushima Daiichi disaster. The issue of regulatory capture is an issue that Japan and every energy producing country in the world is facing. As the Gundersen’s book Fukushima Daiichi: Truth and Future Prospects, published in Japan, points out, the Japanese people are poised to become energy innovators and world leaders with new technologies, if they choose to break their nuclear power dependency.

Fukushima - The Truth Behind The Meltdown

This documentary, not yet translated to English, is a joint venture between French and German television (available in French or German) that explores the nuclear accident at Fukushima Daiichi and its aftermath. With the help of international experts, including Fairewinds’ chief engineer Arnie Gundersen, who analyze the actual processes at Fukushima Daiichi on the day of the accident and in the weeks afterwards. The filmmakers draw a picture of the inadequate crisis management by the Japanese and international nuclear lobby, which is still promoting nuclear power even after the meltdown in Japan, so that the global multi-billion dollar business of creating nuclear energy may proceed unencumbered.
