World's Worst Companies

Image
A Swiss NGO, Berne Declaration, and Green Peace hold t he Public Eye Awards , for which companies considered as the worst ones due to certain reasons are chosen and nominated willingly or unwillingly. Of the six candidates of the winner of the awards this year, the most voted company is TEPCO (Japan), heading the list; and Freeport (U.S.), Barcyays (U.K.), Samsung (South Korea), Syngenta (Swiss) and Vale (Brazil) are also nominated. Except for Japan's TEPCO, companies on the list posted their statements on their web sites that they have no call to be nominated for the awards. Among them, what TEPCO has done to Japan and the surrounding countries can't be compared to that of other candidates. Some argue that maybe TEPCO doesn't know about the awards or simply become speechless due to what they have done to the oceanic environment as a whole.

Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plants being melt down, Fukushima citizens have suffered from unending harmful rumors across the nation. Recently, a number of Fukushima-registered cars' windows were broken, or sprayed "Go Home" continuously.  The victims ask Twitter users to re-tweet the cases in Japanese.  For this issue, Japanese Net-users posted: "Parking area is not a dream world." "Micky-Mouse did." "That's false." "Tokyoite did" Source(s): http://tabisuke.arukikata.co.jp/ds/r/203/r/20012/r/20283/6/DomesticSpot/4106/p/1/ http://read2ch.com/r/news/1313508145/

Injection of Taxpayers' Money into TEPCO's Damage Payment

Image
On August 3, a new low to help TEPCO (Tokyo Electronic Power Company) pay for nuclear-power-plants' damages with infusions of public money was established in upper House plenary session. Since the day in when Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plants were melt down, people have aimed their attack at TEPCO as well as the whole concept of the company. The decision DPJ (Democratic Party of Japan: the administration party), LDP (Liberty-and-Democratic Party) and Koumei Party made caused controversy among taxpayers due to the fact that the nuclear incident was perceived as a human disaster. Even though TEPCO is one of companies that is crucial to our lives, there seemingly is no way to justify the decision.

The story centers on the daring Tokyo's Mayer, Tenma, who try to build a nuclear power plant in ...

10,000sVr of Radiation in Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant.

Image
On August 1st, 10,000sVr of radiation was measured in-between air-stack of Fukushima Daiichi nuclear reactor building and Daini nuclear reactor building. Immediately after the detection of the radiation, the government sealed off the area. That result was unprecedentedly risky more than ever. Since the day tsunami took everything from the affected town and cities, the area within 20-kilometer radius of the plant has become mystery; nobody knows what is truly happening there. The Diet failed to swipe skeptical thoughts of people in general about the nuclear disaster due to the fact that they lately announced the true situation of the power-plants: melt-down of the reactor building and so forth. The current situation around Japan is big challenges: reconstruction of the affected areas, nuclear disasters, Yen appreciation, strained relations with China and South Korea, American financial disaster, and more. While the situation of the area...
