Dear my friends,
First, please read and watch the article and the youtube video;
Japan, U.S. plan nuclear waste storage in Mongolia (Reuter, May 9, 2011)

“Nuclear Boy (Genpatsu-kun)”, an animation video (a kind of propaganda video)

And second, read it:
Stop the U.S. from creating a nuclear waste dump in Mongolia
http://www.thepetitionsite.com/1/no-nuclear-waste-in-Mongolia/
"The Obama administration has held informal talks with Mongolia about the possibility that the Central Asian nation might host an international repository for nuclear waste. Mongolia contains some of the largest expanses of unspoiled nature on Earth, and does not have any ambitions to develop a nuclear program of its own. To litter its pristine environment with toxic, radioactive waste would be a horrible crime.
Please urge the U.S. Energy Department to abandon its goal to persuade the Mongolian government to accept an atomic waste dump on its sovereign soil."
To tell the truth, I have not sign for the petition (and I won’t ). However, I angry with the people who plan creating a nuclear waste dump in Mongolia. I think it is the same as asking Mongolia to become “toilet”.
By the way, if our government and some people still believe “Nuclear is safe.” and want to go on spreading nuclear business, I feel shame. (Probably, they don’t believe “nuclear is safe.”. Because if they believe that, they would create nuclear waste dumps in their own country, not in Mongolia. I feel shame more and more.)
Best regards,
Yukari
