Versehentlich verstrahlte Arbeiter, falsche Werte: Der Stromkonzern Tepco informiert spät und ungenau – und zerstört das Vertrauen der Menschen in Japan. Von K. Biermann
Ganz nebenbei: es geht um das Vertrauen allerorten!

In the book's introduction, Our Man in Abiko writes, "This book was conceived one week after the quake. It was written, edited and completed in seven days to tell people's stories while their feelings were raw, memories fresh and futures so uncertain.
"If Japan is to lift itself from disaster, enormous effort will have to be expended by a great many people. Tens of thousands are already working together under extreme pressure towards this goal, in the hardest hit Tohoku region, around the nuclear reactors in Fukushima, and throughout the nation and world, in an effort to restore the supply of essential goods and services.
"Millions more have donated generously, and wish they could do more. For the many people around the world who care deeply about Japan, this book aims to take a snapshot of a nation in crisis, told by its people in their own voices."
Negotiations were under way Monday with Amazon with the aim of releasing the book as soon as possible with all funds gathered going directly to the Japanese Red Cross Society. The following is a selection of excerpts from the book.

Chief Cabinet Secretary Yukio Edano admitted the difficulties in balancing the two tasks -- the coolant water injection and the removal of leaked radioactive water. The radioactive water leak may be linked to operations to pour massive amounts of water to prevent reactors and spent nuclear fuel pools from overheating.
''We cannot help but put priority on work to stop the nuclear reactors from boiling dry,'' the top government spokesman said. Serious damage to fuel rods from overheating would lead to the emission of enormous amounts of radioactive materials into the air.
Edano also deplored the detection of plutonium in the soil of the Fukushima plant, which was unveiled by TEPCO on Monday, saying the situation is ''very serious'' and suggests ''a certain degree of melting of fuel rods.''
TEPCO has said the confirmed amount of plutonium in the soil does not pose a major risk to human health.
Sakae Muto, vice president of the utility company, said it is ''not easy to examine how far it (the plutonium) has reached.'' Plutonium is more toxic than other radioactive substances such as iodine and cesium and would increase the risk of cancer if absorbed by human bodies.
Prime Minister Naoto Kan, meanwhile, told a parliament session Tuesday that it is ''highly likely'' that the six-reactor Fukushima plant will eventually be decommissioned.
...Das Nicht-Handeln der japanischen Regierung ist ein menschenfeindlicher Skandal von internationaler Tragweite.
