今日は2時間ですが幼稚園がありました。
先生方も通勤が大変難しい中、休園にしたかっただろうに、
ずっと休園で退屈していた子供たちのことを考えて
再開してくれたのでしょう…。本当に感謝です。
来ていた子供たちはごく僅かでしたが、皆とても楽しそうな
顔をして帰宅しました。
幼稚園からの帰り、某国大使館の横を通ったところ、
ある国は見たこともない長蛇の列（数百人？）ができていて、
別の大使館も常時10人ほどがいました。
外国人の方は国外退避、仕方ないと思います。
私も海外にいたらきっとそうします。
今日も東北・関東・甲信越震源の地震が起こり、
原発、放射能の状況は決して好転していない様子です。
ただしこれは、こんな状況でも仕事をしているので、yahooの
ヘッドラインをたまに見る以外、現状を把握する時間がないことも
ありますけれど…。
ただ、海外の報道は恐怖感をあおるだけのものが多く
（その方がセンセーショナルですし、確かに非常事態ですけど）、
もう少し冷静に分析・報道をしてくれないかなとも感じます。
今日、学長名で以下のメールが流れてきました。
在日英国商工会議所の会員向けメールです。
The British Chamber Of Commerce in Japan ( BCCJ) Members Update on Japan’s
Nuclear Position [Mesg.Id: 2004]
BCCJ Members Update on Japan’s Nuclear Power station situation
March 15th 2011, 17.00
Telephone briefing from Sir John Beddington, the UK’s Chief Scientific
adviser and Hilary Walker Deputy Director Emergency Preparedness at the
Department of Health.
“Unequivocally, Tokyo will not be affected by the radiation fallout of
explosions that have occurred or may occur at the Fukushima nuclear power
stations.”
The danger area is limited to within the 30 kilometer evacuation zone and no
one will be allowed to enter this area other than those directly involved in
the emergency procedures currently being undertaken at both Fukushima 1 & 2.
Sir John went on to answer a series of questions including a comparison
between Chernobyl and Japan. He said, “they are entirely different.
Chernobyl exploded and there was a subsequent fire with radioactive
materials being launched 30,000 ft into the air”. The maximum height of any
Fukushima explosions would be no more than 500 metres.
“The amount of radiation that has been released is miniscule and would have
to be in the order of 1,000 or more for it to be a threat to humans” This
was confirmed by Hilary Walker.
Sir John went on to say that the Japanese authorities are doing their best
to keep the reactors cooled and that this is a continuing operation. All
workers on site dealing with the emergency are being fully decontaminated at
the end of each shift.
When asked how reliable the information coming from the Japanese authorities
was as to radiation levels he said, “this cannot be fabricated and the
Japanese authorities are posting all the readings on the recognized
international information sites which they are obliged to do. Independent
verification shows that the data provided are accurate”.
In answer to a specific question from the Head of the BritishSchool in
Tokyo, Sir John Beddington and Hilary Walker said that there was no reason
at all for the school to be closed unless there were other issues such as
power outages and transport problems.
David Fitton, First Minister at the British Embassy in Tokyo moderated the
teleconference and confirmed that a transcript of the briefing will be
available on the Embassy website later today.
BCCJ members are encouraged to check the Embassy website regularly as well
as the Chamber website and Facebook sites for the latest information.
