[ViceJP] Alone in the Zone - A documentary about people still living in Fukushima - General

[media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=llM9MIM_9U4[/media] It's pretty sad

Seriously, nice post. Enjoyed the watch. Not going to debate why but I really hope that nuclear power doesn't become the main source of power everywhere. It'll take decades for places like this and Chernobyl to return back to a habitable state.

god bless vice for putting this video together

It's sad really how this all happened and the response to it equally sad.

The guy with the white hair has such a kind personality, ugh, something about him man. He seems just like a really really nice person who has gone through some shit and wants to help the animals. I don't know he just seems like a really cool dude.

S.T.A.L.K.E.R:shadow of Fukushima Its amazing that he can live like that with the way things are. I wonder if he ever has to go into a major city to get things

Isn't "Alone in the Zone" the name of a film where the guy just explores Chernobyl and Pripyat with a first person camera? [editline]12th March 2013[/editline] Yep [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ti8uwMDgBLU[/media]

It'll take decades for places like this and Chernobyl to return back to a habitable state.[/QUOTE] i think watching society fall into a state of disarray as people get more and more limited access to power is a much worse fate than losing a small chunk of habitable land because a few people royally fucked up on maintaining the reactors safety guidelines and/or building on a fucking fault line in the first place

[QUOTE=bunnyspy1;39883142]chernobyl is in the state it is now because of human error, and I don't really think chernobyl is the best example of a "good" nuclear power plant.[/QUOTE] And the fact that power plants tend to be ran by faulty humans makes me so worried. All it takes it one overworked/underpaid/unqualified/depressed/careless worker

Matsumura Naoto seems like such a bro.

So this became a Japanese version of Chernobyl...

[QUOTE=DrLuckyLuke;39885737]Really the only problem with nuclear power is politics and uneducated people being afraid of it.[/QUOTE] That's why I'm unsure of it, I know coal electricity contributes to the massive hole we have in our ozone layer but in the wrong hands nuclear facilities only equal devastation at some point. Look at the clean up in this video, the company that owned the facility is abandoning responsibility and leaving it to the people to clean their mess up. Typical corporate shit, manipulate, use and abuse the people then when they have the money they scram. All those executives are sipping champaign on a resort somewhere whilst all those poor souls that lived near the facility loose EVERYTHING and have no compensation and even if they did get compensation... how can you seriously compensate the loss of your family home for years and all your livestock (like the white haired gentleman in this video who clearly loves his animals). Not only that the possibility of cancers in the future from initial exposure to radiation.

[QUOTE=DrLuckyLuke;39885737]Really the only problem with nuclear power is politics and uneducated people being afraid of it.[/QUOTE] hardly true seeing as there is currently no way of getting rid of nuclear by-product. that and its an unforgiving source of energy.

[QUOTE=xCanyucdl;39895364]hardly true seeing as there is currently no way of getting rid of nuclear by-product. that and its an unforgiving source of energy.[/QUOTE]I'm not sure of any efficient means of energy that aren't unforgiving. If we were to look at liquid thorium reactors, the by product reduced would be so small it wouldn't cost us millions to store and wait for it to decay.
