Dear Secretary -General Ban Ki-moon,

Please allow me to send you my urgent appeal.

It is now internationally accepted that the unit 4 problem is a global security issue.In addition to the unit 4,it has been found out that the whole Fukushima Daiichi constitutes a global threat.

Recent frequent big earthquakes in Japan and abroad are frightful.
On April 23, in a program of the Asahi television, a guest expert revealed that signs of an outerrise earthquake, capable of causing 10 meters high tsunami, are concretely observed off the coast of Fukushima and he said
that it could take place within several months.
Furthermore, I obtained a information emanating from a worker on the site according to which the level of radiation in the unit 2 is so high that even a suicidal team could not operate in it.
On April 19, I inquired of the Tepco about the present situation.The highest level of the three units are 800 milliseverts in the unit 1, 880 millisieverts in the unit 2, and1510 millisieverts in the unit 3 !
According to experts, a man dies after being exposed to 10 millisieverts.
It follows that,in case of emergency such as the failure of the cooling system,no operation would be possible in those units !
This adds to the crisis of the unit 4 that is certain to be destroyed by an earthquake surpassing intensity 6 plus !
This is the actual precarious situation that normally should make Japan and the whole world shudder. It is definitely a global security issue.

However, there is no sense of crisis. Business as usual is observed.
The leakage of radiation continues (10million Bq /hour).
The damage done to the health of children is increasing surfacing.
There are proven attempts to minimize the harmfulness of radiation.
Concealment is still suspected and criticized.
The Government should no longer avoid assuming full responsibility.
In the case of Chernobyl, the cover over the unit 4 was constructed in 7 month, mobilizing 300.000 people including 30000 soldiers.
Establishing a system of mobilizing human wisdom ,on as wide a scope as possible, to cope with the consequences of Fukushima is urgently needed.
The international community  can no longer stay indifferent to this serious security issue.
Civil society in Japan has started questioning the Japanese candidature for hosting the Olympic Games. Something is seriously wrong in Japan.
I have started asking all quarters to unite, putting aside all differences,in order to overcome the present crisis.

The will of heavens and the earth that protects humanity and the earth will not allow for long the actual immoral situation in Japan, symbolized in the restart and the export of nuclear reactors without clarifying the cause of the accident.

Please allow me to count on your understanding. and support.

With highest and warmest regards,
Mitsuhei Murata
