Repeated
Lies Concerning Ohma Nuclear Power Plant
Procedures for Resumption of Construction To Be Taken Today

Use of the word “childish shallow trick” will
make children angry. Nuclear policy of the Noda administration is a lie known to everybody. In spite of the assurance that “construction
of new nuclear power plants is not allowed”, the administration is going to
give permission of the construction of three nuclear power plants including
Ohma and Shimane.
As the operating life of a nuclear power
plant is said to be 40 years, a newly constructed
nuclear power plant will be operated for 40 years until the middle of the
2050s. The word “to phase out nuclear
power generation by the 2030s” is an utter lie.
Upon the “lifting of the ban” by the
government, the Ohma nuclear power plant run by Japan Electric Power
Development Co. (located in the Shimokita Peninsular, Aomiri Prefecture) quickly
expressed the resumption of construction work.
President Masayoshi Kitamura visited the local communities and expressed
that the company will start taking procedures to resume construction work. Construction of the Ohma nuclear plant
started in 2008, but it has been suspended since the Fukushima nuclear power
plant accident in 2011.
Environmental groups and citizens called
for “opposition of construction” in front of the head office of Japan Electric
Power Development Co., Ltd (located at Ginza in Tokyo) at lunch hour today.
“We have sufficient electricity. We don’t need dangerous electricity made from
MOX fuel,” they made an appeal toward a gigantic building of the company.
It is planned that plutonium-uranium
oxide fuel, MOX fuel will be produced in nearby “Rokkasho Reprocessing Plant.” However, the plant has not been operated due
to repeated occurrence of troubles. Even
an executive of the company is said to have told to a Diet member “It will not
be operated for a while.”
Unless the utility
company ensures that it will “operate the reprocessing plant,” used fuel will
be returned to it by Aomori prefectural government. To avoid such situation, the company tries to
construct the Ohma nuclear plan to generate electricity with MOX fuel produced
in the reprocessing plant.
To cover up the first lie, they lie
anew. It is a
story symbolizing irresponsible, makeshift nuclear policy. It is grand fiction.
Under the facilities of the Ohma nuclear plant
lie an active fault. Once a big
earthquake occurs, it is likely that a nightmare of Fukushima will be repeated.
Finally, I want to say “what ordinary
people dislike most.” Once a radiation
leakage accident should occur, we cannot eat well-known Ohma tuna any longer.
