Fukushima Disaster Remembrance 2014

In remembrence of the ongoing Fukushima disaster still polluting environment and groundwater as well as being still under the risk of new accidents, a huge number of events has been announced by anti-nuclear groups and NGOs in many countries. The responsible company TEPCO and Japanese authorities still don't know how exactly the situation in the exploded reactors looks like. And still nuclear power plants are in operation even in the so-called "phase-out countries" like Germany, in other regions even new reactors are in construction or being planned. The rallies are aiming on raising awareness on the ongoing catastrophe in Japan and calling for an immediate shut-down of all atomic reactors.
