Fukushima Chain Reaction

Today marks the second anniversary of the historic earthquake and tsunami that hit northeastern Japan and led to the accident at the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Plant  As might be expected  the occasion is marked by protest against nuclear power . Over the weekend in Paris, a "human chain" to protest nuclear power in France was staged in Paris with 4,000 - 20,000 participants, depending on who was doing the counting. Here's a poster promoting the event, featuring the "Nuclear Power - No Thanks" logo.


While on a visit in early June 2011, just two months after the accident, I picked up the following broadside for another demonstration in Paris.
