• A doctor from a Fukushima hospital speaking here last weekend said that many families are divided since one parent stays in the prefecture in order to work, while the other moves away with the children. He says that the divorce rate has been skyrocketing.

• @bo I noticed something while digging on Chernobyl information last week. I think it just finally dawned on me, how rural areas seem to play into these accidents or disasters. The nature of nuclear installations or power plants causes them to need to be put away from population centers. It seems to then have the double issue of exploiting the local rural population. Then the typical issues of rural communities come into play. Income, social status, education of the population and the small total numbers of people that all play into them being bullied, manipulated or exploited. Someone protesting at METI mentioned how the rural nature of Fukushima adds to the income disparity and how it is another situation of those with wealth running over everyone else.
