Demystifying nuclear power is taking a critical look at nuclear power generation, a manipulative industry with seedy ties to government entities such as the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) in the United States and the Nuclear Regulation Authority (NRA) in Japan. By uncovering nuclear industry lies, demystifying nuclear power reveals the danger of nuclear waste and radiation from atomic energy to people’s health and the environment worldwide. Growing solar and renewable energy technology is a cost effective, carbon-free solution for our energy future that provides safer and cleaner power production than nuclear energy.
A Japanese court has finally vindicated dozens of Japanese citizens suffering from radiation-related illnesses, who the Japanese government alleged lived too far from Nagasaki and Hiroshima to have been considered Hibakusha [victims of the two atomic bombs]…

Margaret Harrington invited Fairewinds board member and fellow Vermonter Chiho Kaneko, Arnie, and Maggie to discuss the ongoing fallout and unending crisis fostered by the March 11, 2011, Fukushima meltdowns…
Read MoreGovernments worldwide and the atomic power and subsequent weapons industries claim that almost no one died or was made ill from the meltdowns at TMI, Chernobyl, and Fukushima. They also claim that there are no lasting health or environmental impacts due to these five major meltdowns…
Read MoreToday, we add another post and discussion to our new Nuclear Spring Series. The three meltdowns at the Fukushima Dai-ichi atomic power reactor site on March 11, 2011, has changed our personal and professional lives forever…
Read MoreOn this 10th commemoration of the Fukushima Dai-ichi disaster in Japan, our thoughts and hearts continue to be with those impacted by both the ongoing radioactive contamination throughout Japan as well as those permanently displaced since March 11, 2011…
Read MoreAs we approach the 10th commemoration of Japan’s March 11, 2011, Fukushima Dai-ichi triple meltdowns, organizations around the globe, including environmental groups, nonprofits (like us), engineering and pronuclear organizations, and media organizations like Japan’s Nippon TV, will release new information.
