Willkommen auf der Seite der "Textinitiative Fukushima"

Die Seiten der Textinitiative Fukushima werden derzeit von der Japanologie der Goethe-Universität betrieben. Gegenwärtiges Anliegen von TIF ist die zeitgeschichtliche Dokumentation. Das Forum dient nun in erster Linie als Archiv für Informationen zu 3/11 sowie allgemein zur Geschichte des Atomaren. Die Suchfunktion ermöglicht Recherchen zu Stichworten, Inhalten und Akteuren.

Neustart der Atomenergie in Japan: The Diplomat, 2025

"To understand Japan’s plan to restart nuclear power plants, it is essential to first examine the question: What caused the nuclear disaster at the Fukushima plant, operated by Tokyo Electric Power Company (TEPCO)? While the earthquake and tsunami were widely regarded as the immediate triggers, the National Diet Investigation Report identified the Fukushima nuclear meltdown as a “ man-made-disaster.”

This argument centers on Japan’s so-called “nuclear village,” a tightly knit community composed of actors from the nuclear industry, national and local regulatory bodies, and academia. At the core of this nuclear village is a group of approximately 200 to 300 university scholars, many of whom know each other personally. Through these personal connections, they help their students secure positions in electric power companies, manufacturing firms, or as technical officials in government agencies and local authorities."

"Light of Hope": Ansprache des Gouverneurs von Fukushima UCHIBORI Masao (März 2025)

Der Bürgermeister betont die Mühen und die Schwierigkeiten der Bürger, die sich um den Wiederaufbau von Fukushima bemühen und erwähnt dabei auch die gute Zusammenarbeit mit dem deutschen Bundesland Nordrhein-Westfalen in Sachen Energieerneuerungstechnikausbau. Zudem möchte er der Jugend der Welt eine Katastrophenerziehung zukommen lassen, indem sie Fukushima aufsucht.
