Dear President Deiss,
The on going nuclear accident jn Fukushima is menacing Japan and the
world It is deeply regretted that the use of nuclear energy was allowed
to continue even after the Three Mile Island accident and the Chernobyl
disaster.The 4 nuclear reactors out of control facing the danger of
meltdown are teaching us the lesson that the usage of nuclear energy
with its fatal effects due to its invisible radioactivity and radiation
is imcompatible with ethics. The innocent population is suddenly placed
in a situation out of human control by an accident and is obliged to
accept all sorts of consequences.NearlyHalf a million residents of
Fukushima forced to seek refuge far away from home are on the brink of
despair.
The Japanese population,the first vivtim of the military use of atomic
energy is now going through a huge ordeal resulting from its civil
use.It is the will of goodwilling Japanese people to see to it that
Japan will help the world to change course in the nuclear field to
avoid further tragedies. Irrespective of future development of this
disaster; the whole worldハshould start regretting the use of energy
that has been proven once againハbeyond human control.
I am convinced that you will understand the urgent need for holding the
UN Ethics Summitハto share the common vision for the denucleariztion of
the globe.
With highest regards,
Mitsuhei Murata
