Set A Combination Lock On A Carlton Suitcase

The heroes of Fukushima

(Source: Corriere della Sera), edited by Robert Ferdinand

Since a week ago on Japan struck the deadly combination of earthquake-tsunami, 50 technicians of the Tokyo Electric Power Company (TEPCO - the fourth largest in the world energy production) are closed and isolated in Fukushima Nuclear Power Station, seriously damaged by the disaster, to try to limitari damage and leakage of material and radioactive substances. For nearly a week the 50 technicians are working in health and logistical minimum, being exposed to very high levels of radioactive radiation in the absence of adequate supplies to meet the 'apocalypse. " They seem to be today, the only that can save the country of the rising sun and the area by a natural disaster without precedent. Prime Minister Naoto Kan implored him: "You are the only ones who can solve this crisis. Retreat is unthinkable. " So the 50 technicians, Heroes, and being left to their jobs, are doomed, for sure, given the level of radiation they are exposed to serious diseases and next, if not death. Today, tomorrow and in the coming days, it is fair to say the commitment and sacrifice of those anonymous technicians, scaling down the importance that perhaps hastily attach to news from other parts of the world. Honor and 50 technicians Fukushima, unfortunately, now anonymous, but they have names and surnames, stories, lives and families. RDF
