6. There's an election for Fukushima governor coming up on October 26

Thu Oct 9, 2014, 06:42 PM

Oct 2014

There are 6 candidates in the running, none of whom are affiliated with a political party. One is a former lieutenant governor, two are former mayors (one of whom is also a doctor), one is a farmer, one is a convenience store owner, and the 6th one is the head of a construction company. Most of them are quite upset at what has been going on at Dai-ichi. One of the former mayors says on his web site (loosely translated),

"We don't want to be guinea pigs for radioactive contamination!" (放射能被害のモルモットからの解放 )

The farmer/rancher lost his daughter two months after the disaster.

The doctor/former mayor wants to create a socio-economic system that is not dependent on nuclear power

The convenience store owner has all sorts of questions about the reactors and wants to have a steady stream of accurate data

The former lieutenant governor wants to pour his efforts into decommissioning all nuclear reactors in Fukushima and bringing the accident to a conclusion

The construction company guy wants to investigate the potential of new and natural energy sources that are commensurate with Fukushima Prefecture.
