I'M Overwhelming to read a news that Japan's PM was rejecting Tepco's proposal of withdrawal of its employees from a stricken Fukushima nuclear power plant soon after it is hit by 9M earthquake and 10m height tsunami. The management company might have assess it's going to be uphill task and almost a mission impossible. But their PM didn't bow their proposal by rejecting it. PM said it is not a just matter of TEPCO but a matter of Japan's nuclear history. So he push TEPCO back on track in save of 4 decades old nuclear power plant. More importantly saving this nuclear plant will give ways to its peer plants to get green light in future. Otherwise the people would ask the government to demolish all running nuclear plants in the aftermath of this twin disaster.
The good things is that the authority put people's lives as a first priority. He can favor TEPCO's proposal as they are professionals and PM won't better understand than what they are. After receiving reject, Tepco used plan B in favor of saving their aging plant by trying their best. Some 200 people offer their willing to fight and top management made 4x 50 people shifts that later well know in the world's media as "Fukushima 50". They are taking this death-sentence like responsibility without being forced by somebody else. What a good professional are they? I would prefer to say them as heroes. Because only those with strong determination or patriotism can handle this kind of situation. There are some people who are not happy with their decision. Who else is it other than their family members? Once I read some messages to and from their family members, I was teary. It's very much sentimental. Just imagine if they are your family breadwinner. We should give super credit to them, not only for their effort to its nation, but for the world's nuclear power reliance countries. Because if they can make it successfully, people will know better about nuclear technology in future. At least they can avoid similar mistake in future by building equake-proof reactors.
Those Fukushima 50 are tirelessly doing within the severely affect radiation compound without enough foods to eat. They need to wear air-tight suit that are not totally prevent them from getting radiation. Their life will not be the same even if they can stop this stricken nuclear plant's crisis. Because they have been infected exceeding limited amount. I don't know how does it effect exactly to their life after that. But I know is they are battling with an impossible mission. While they are struggling with this, some people who are living few hundreds kilometer away from Fukushima plant are busy with fleeing Japan. It makes air-fare surge and even unable to fulfill demanded passengers. Some rich governments are arranging some charter flight for their expatriate citizens.
What a very much opposite mission is it? Some are braving themselves for the sake of its people at the expense of their own lives. On the other hand, some people are running away from potentially danger zone to save their life. We can see the different part of selfish and coward. Anyway people can decide on what they think is right. Only matter is how meaningfully are they. Meanwhile, my fellow citizens who are working in Asia's richest country are upsetting by seeing our own embassy close it's doors. What an frustrating experience is it? What is the purpose of putting counselor service there is it? I think they are not employed just only to take income tax but also need to offer some help when it is necessary. It's unfair to those who pay tax loyally unable to get help when they are fallen into the troubles. I myself is migrant worker in different country and can sympathize the plight of my fellow citizens there.
May the authority able to do their mission meaningfully as they are paid for that.
