Then 70 thousand people were killed instantly, and about one hundred thousand died of exposure in subsequent years. This year Japan is again faced with the threat of radiation. Therefore, at the funeral spoke not only about Hiroshima, but also about Fukushima. From all the 66th anniversary of atomic bombing in Hiroshima, differed little in shape – the same strikes funeral bells, silent prayer, the laying of flowers, but if we talk about the content, the current ceremony in the park of the world can not be considered "on duty activity." For the first time the speakers talked not only about the victims of Hiroshima and nuclear disarmament. The accident at the plant, "Fukushima-1" has forced the Japanese to take a fresh look at the prospects of nuclear energy. When in August 1945 for the first time Japan has experienced the horrors of war of the atom, in March of 2011, she learned that the peaceful atom, can also be dangerous. "This accident has caused great concern around the world due to this hazard to human health – said the Prime Minister of Japan, Naoto Kan. – Japan will seek to create a society that does not depend on energy production at nuclear power plants. " But society does not want to wait. Slogans – "Immediately close the nuclear power stations" – were heard today at the walls of the Atomic home, the only building left in Hiroshima after the explosion of a 20-kiloton bomb "Little Boy". "No – Fukushima! No – Hiroshima! "- Rally against the use of nuclear energy contrasts with the official ceremonies on the day of memory of victims of the atomic bombing. After the accident at the plant the Japanese had lost faith in the peaceful atom, and criticized his government for the lack of concrete action in this direction. This week, Naoto Kan decided to dismiss three top officials for mistakes in the aftermath of the Fukushima. Has already passed the half, but the work still remains in its infancy. People evacuated from only those areas where to be fatal, but hundreds of thousands still live in conditions of high background radiation. "We have heard many lies from the Japanese government, which tried to hide the truth about the scale of the accident in Fukushima – says SIOK Tomita. – It is necessary that as many people loudly declared their disagreement with the current policy of the authorities. In Japan right now – 54 nuclear power plants. All of them should be closed immediately. " So far, only one is temporarily closed. Complete rejection of nuclear power stations threatens energy hunger of Japan – at the plant accounts for a third of energy consumption. "I do not think the authorities are ready to review energy policy, so we must continue our fight against the use of nuclear power", – said Hiroyuki Matsui. Those who survived the atomic bombing in Japan, officially called the word "hibakusha" (the literal translation – " victim of nuclear radiation. ") Now these – around 220 thousand people. Until now, every year they became less and less: the average age of these people – almost 80 years. But now, after the accident at Fukushima, there is a danger that the number of "hibakusha" may rise again.
