TEPCO's Teleconference Video on March 16, 2011: "Lunch Menu is Biscuits and Canned Saury"


About 50 minutes into the March 16, 2011 video linked in the previous post, there is an announcement from the Workers Welfare Section of Fukushima I Nuclear Power Plant:

This is Workers Welfare Section. Lunch is distributed at ... Today's menu is biscuits and canned saury. Please bring your own spoon. If you don't have one...


I'll never forget the NISA official who said in March last year that it was none of the government's responsibility to provide the workers at the plant with decent food. He said, "Yes we're aware of the situation, but it's basically TEPCO's problem. No, we're not going to do anything about it."

The workers didn't have enough blankets in the beginning, either.

As hardly anyone in Japan has paid attention to details on what happened and why, this will be repeated in the next accident.

This country is dysfunctional and schizophrenic. The more I live here, the more I see, the more desperate I am. It reminds me the way Ex-USSR used to function.

Are you sure it wasn't canned Sorry? If only the workers would have walked off the job handing TEPCO and the government their aprons.

Then they would have subscripted the families from fukushima..since they had already been written off...wonder when the age limit (18) is dropped down to 5 yrs for working at the broken nuclear plants?

Dear Ultraman-san :-)

About food, I just saw these mutated kiwis found in California.

Herbicides or radiations ?

Helios, all I know is from my personal experience of growing kiwis in the backyard. Yes I've seen those occasionally, and it was before the nuclear accident and we grew kiwi totally organic.
