Japan’s ‘Nuclear Village” gang in disrepute, nuclear power to end in Japan
Nuke-Free Japan by 2022 says Prof Broinowski, Paul Langley’s Nuclear History Blog, By Brett Stokes. 14 Feb 12, ” Author and former ambassador, now adjunct Professor at Sydney University, Richard Broinowski gave a talk to more than 100 people at The Bob Hawke Centre at the University of South Australia in Adelaide .
The talk was promoted as Fukishima and the Future of Nuclear Power, with a revised title on the night “The Fallout From Fukushima”. Broinowski predicts that the Japanese nuke power industry is in decline and will be all over within ten years.
So strong is the public reaction to the TEPCO Fukushima disaster, that the Japanese chapter of the Nuke Gang, known as The Nuclear Village, is doomed, says Professor Broinowski.
Broinowski spoke accurately about the disaster for some 40 minutes, highlighting the push to renewable energy which Japan has in abundance with the geo thermal activity which makes nuclear such a stupid choice for Japan.

Note. In a previous version of this post, I published an incorrect and derogatory statement about Barry Brook – for which I now apologise to Professor Brook, and have removed that statement from this website. – Christina Macpherson

I suggest you remove this paragraph too. I think you will find Prof Brook and his family will no longer put up with scurrilous, libelous attacks on his character. They are categorically without foundation.

Much sobbing, gnashing of teeth over at Decarbonise and cuddles for the courageous pro-nuclear attendees feeling rejected by Broinowski’s “slights” at his “dreadful” presentation. And not one nuclear physicist among the most prominent of nuclear proponents – Mr & Mrs Brook, Ben Heard, or fishing boat captain,Tom Blees, much less a humble radiographer.
Broinowski is not claiming expertise on nuclear physics but he has at least lived in Japan, has many Japanese contacts and speaks the lingo. Gorbachev’s not a nuclear physicist either “but he speaks of ”150 significant radiation events” before Chernobyl so how is it that the 150 significant events have been obscured from the public gaze?
Why would Mr Brook and his followers plug for one single industry that has the most heinous environmental record on the planet – most of the details obscured from the public gaze with the exception of the information supplied by whistleblowers who have provided irrefutable evidence of malfeasance?
Admittedly there are a few subtle and discreet paragraphs from regulatory agencies who reluctantly publish on the widespread radioactive and non-radioactive contamination of groundwater, soil, air, rivers and oceans. There is, too, a generous amount of literature published by academics on the radioactive contamination of flora, fauna and marine life in an industry ever so foul.
Brook and followers, with the questionable global warming argument about a ‘nuclear power solution’, are lobbying for an industry that wilfully and criminally exposes humanity and the biosphere to insidious (and potentially catastrophic) risks of immense proportions.
