It is a daunting endeavor to put your life on the line like that once, which is extremely courageous; let alone do it regularly like Enson Inoue has since 2011:
Some of the ex-residents from Fukushima, those lucky enough to have relatives in the US, came to visit us in San Clemente during our crisis with San Onofre. Luckily we prevailed, which is an altogether unlikely victory, but only emboldened the best of us to make progress in meaningful change rather merely petition the State to shut it down--it wouldn't have happened despite being the power plant with the worst safety rating in all of the US following 3 mile island, had it not been for Mitsubishi's over-the-top level of incompetence and Edison's perpetual diffusion of responsibility and greed coming into the limelight so ungraciously.
I may make a post about that whole affair as I wrote it as it happened, dating back to 2007 when I became frighteningly aware of how absurd SONGS and nuclear power as whole really is and the often brushed away externalities.
Right, any chance I can get an invite to the Solarcoin slack? I'd really like to interact there as I'd like to pick the brain of some your most knowledgeable guys there. I've been doing bitcoin stuff since 2010, and just got into the solar industry; no alt has ever called my attention to date but I'm eager to learn about solarcoin.
Sidenote: I have family that are civil engineers and one of them was doing his undergrad with a professor who had been exploring the feasibility of getting Japan on geo-thermal in 2009-11 prior to Fukushima due to the large volcano presence here, from what I recall the research showed that if utilized it either matched or even exceeded the 30% nuclear dependence, but had a lot of bureaucratic redtape and sunk costs that made it unlikely.
Hi @ehcryptonerd- thanks for the concerns and well thought out comment.
Enson Inoue looks like a great and persistent guy. One thing I did notice is the massive impact that it has had on local residents and farmers. They are dealing with the externalities everyday. That is also not the first time I've visited the area, (probably the 30th or so) but still it is nothing to compare to what the residents have to deal with day in and day out.
It resonates with what we are trying to do. Sure, it is easy for anyone to join the solarcoin.slack and another really cool one the electricchain.slack.

Indeed, I was entirely lost for words when I heard that Japan had gone to great lengths, and then committed themselves to host the Olympics (Brazil this year really set the tone) and ramping up their military expenditures (to much local resentment) whilst the residents of the evacuation zone still remain in the fema-like housing situation. They are unlikely to address the matter in that time, too.
Yeah, the farmers are the ones who lost their entire livelihood, as you know they pushed the Eat Fukushima food agenda quite hard for a while, with what seemed to be some notable push back domestically. Internationally, though... it continues unabated I'm afraid via the same avenue the World over . What's worse is that if what local citizen journalists are reporting is true, this essentially created a new 'Buraku' caste as trying to migrate and assimilate into other prefectures is impossible.
Vitrification has been a useful means to contain the liquids/waste, but I'm afraid given the situation to date and despite these efforts it still won't solve the issue anytime soon.
See, I suck at social media stuff and usually avoid it al; together, but I'm on several Slacks but I thought you had to be invited to join as that is how I initially joined. I tried joining both but I got errors when I tried logging in with my credentials and the electricchain slack is stating I need to have a specific email domain from what i assume are partner institutions. What am I doing wrong?

Wow... I can't even remember the last time I logged into BTF, it has before the shutdown of SR; but, yeah I can do that.
Speak to you then.
