HIROSHIMA - The city of old and new holocaust are geographically to the two opposite sides, one to the southwest, the other north east. From a land-based portion of the fault that bisects the island of Japan's Hiroshima, built on a large delta formed by myriads of small rivers. It is the historical symbol of nuclear destruction caused by years of research to bring down western Japan in the war.
On the other hand - hundreds of miles away - the sea stands the emblem of a modern home-made disaster, the breakdown of nuclear reactors in Fukushima. Suzuki San Numata, 87, lost a leg in the rubble of the H-bomb dropped over his head and follows the shooting of the TV exploded by the central north-east from the neat little room where the clinic of Hiroshima is forced to remain lying down for the consequences of that August 6, 1945.
"Radiation is invisible, as then - sigh - but also the government's lies are the same," he says without hesitation and with an unpredictable energy. "As they did then - he explains - Japanese politicians are trying to minimize the problem of radiation already come out and those that will come out more in Fukushima.
Even if you do not see, however, is not that they take effect. We who live for years know well, that burn wounds are like spears into the body and mind. We said to the four winds, but there have never been to me, and have built the same plants. Now I do not want to admit that the disaster of enormous proportions, and that the consequences of what happens around the reactors will be seen over time, as happened to us.
"Numata San had a job, and her boyfriend was returning from the war to marry her when the world is upside down and she lost a leg, a husband, and several members of his family, including those killed one after the other tumors. Today it is famous for traveling long as he could in Japan and around the world (it was also in Italy) with his artificial leg to plant the seed of a tree grown at Ground Zero, the aoghiri, symbol of the fragility of nature.
From there she goes another survivor, Myth Kose, which absorb radiation partially protected in the womb and can now be driving all day from 9 am to Genbaku next to the Dome, the former Prefecture Industrial destroyed and left as it was the time of the bomb. "I spent my childhood one month ' years in hospital, "says Legend," but time and energy as long as I come here to explain not only what happened 66 years ago, but also what is happening today.
Our young people need to know the risks of nuclear power in our country because they have brought up to believe everything that they say, and do not realize the risks they are exposed. But the evidence would be the time to stop with the lies and tell how things are. "Kose accompanies us on the premises of the Museum of Peace, bringing with them the documentation that has collected over the years about the effects of radiation over time, with information scientific completely absent or "softened" in the panels, video and audio guides take visitors through the horror of that August 6 at 8:15.
It shows a photo published abroad of bits of bodies collected and taken to Hiroshima laboratories in the United States to be designed and sent back without the re-released the results. then illustrates the steps of the museum where the captions go away references to the effects of "residual radiation" and "internal injuries" that occur over time.
" No mention either - he says - the stages that lead to modifications of DNA and multiple tumors. Even the diameter of the area affected by the "black rain" radiation was reduced to several kilometers, and the explanation of the effect is only mention of cases of diarrhea lasted three months.
Ridiculous. If I admit it, should give more people the free health care card that already is up to 227,565 survivors, and care for tens of thousands of people. The tragedy is that by dint of ignoring the seriousness of the problem, as they continue to do, to incalculable risks are condemning the victims of Fukushima, and will insist to evacuate only a strip a few miles, when they should send them all away within a radius of at least 80 km ".
In the large square of the museum of the bomb, Daichi, Tomoya, Shoijin, Nao Hiro makes a break for hours after seeing the device and video.'re friends teens come from Kyoto to Hiroshima - explain - because they want to understand why Japan has not learned from history to fear nuclear power.
"I was here on a trip in elementary school, but did not understand anything - Tomoya says - And I do not understand anything until a few days ago because my friends and I, like many Japanese young people believed blindly what the government told us that the plants are useful and a source of clean and safe energy.
Instead, it was not true. Understand? How can we trust what they tell us now? ".
