International petition to the new Japanese government

"Stop construction of the Kaminoseki nuclear power plant!"

Prime Minsiter Yukio Hatoyama                            09.12.18

Japan’s Chugoku Electric Power Company is going to begin reclamation work in an inlet in Tanoura, Kaminoseki-tyo, in Yamaguchi prefecture to construct two nuclear power reactors of 1,370 MW capacity each.

This plan started in 1982 and many local residents have been opposing it for 27 years. Every week there are over 1000 demonstrations against the power plant.

People in Iwaishima are also refusing a large fishing settlement.

To prevent reclamation in the inlet of Tanoura, many fishing boats from Iwashima and the kayak corps have kept watch over the movements of Chugoku Electric Power Company's work ships every day for the past 3 months. Preparation for reclamation work has scarcely proceeded .

During the protest movement, a member of the kayak corps was injured and brought to a hospital by ambulance on November 8th. Chugoku Electric Power Company is responsible for this incident.

・ Please stop forcible reclamation work.

・ The nuclear power plant is dangerous. The problem of nuclear waste cannot be solved. Japan should stop nuclear power plant construction and utilize more natural energy.

・ Please cancel the Kaminoseki nuclear power plant construction project.

日本新政府あて国際署名「上関原発建設を中止してください」

総理大臣 鳩山由紀夫様                                09.12.18

日本の中国電力は、137万kWの原発2基を建設するために、山口県上関町田ノ浦の埋め立て工事を開始しようとしています。

この計画は1982年に始まり、現地の祝島の人たちをはじめ多くの住民が27年間反対してきました。祝島での毎週の原発反対のデモは1000回を超えています。祝島の人たちは、多額の漁業補償金の受け取りも拒否しています。

田ノ浦の埋め立てを阻止するため、祝島の漁船やカヤック隊が9月10日から、3ヶ月間毎日、中国電力の作業船との攻防を続けており、埋め立て工事のための「準備作業」がわずかに進められたにすぎません。

11月8日、抗議行動中のカヤッカーが負傷し、救急車で病院に搬送されました。この責任は中国電力にあります。

・強引な埋め立て工事を中止してください

・原発は危険です。核ゴミ問題は解決できません。原発建設をやめて、自然エネルギーをもっと利用すべきです

・上関原発建設を中止してください
