Fukushima Quotidian

As the appalling clean-up blunders at the wrecked Fukushima nuclear plant become an almost daily occurrence, with the latest hundred-ton leak of highly radioactive water soaking into ground that will obviously be uninhabitable for the foreseeable future, news fatigue seems to be turning this extraordinary ongoing disaster into normality.  Le Monde is one of the few mainstream newspapers outside Japan that provide regular coverage, no doubt because the French know perfectly well what an international nightmare their own vast investment in nuclear power could become in a split second.  The implications of Japan, among the most advanced technological nations, losing for many generations to come a sizable chunk of its precious territory seem not to have sunk in for the rest of the world. In the United States, being against nuclear power–or even just calling attention to its acknowledged problems, such as reactor waste disposal–still carries a whiff of being unpatriotic, so powerful is the pro-nuclear propaganda that harks all the way back to the first years of the Cold War.  The late Gore Vidal once called I-told-you-so the “four most beautiful words in our common language”, but they will be the four most sad if they ever refer to the history of nuclear power.
