UN report says Japan must do more for nuclear victims
The United Nations special rapporteur on the right to health (Anand Grover,
pictured), operating in a position not established until this century, reports
that Japan and TEPCO must do more to help those exposed to radiation from the
Fukushima triple meltdown. Recommendations include: reducing contamination to
within background levels, strengthening food contamination monitoring, and
allowing full participation by citizens by using contamination data they
generate, giving them money to leave contaminated areas for safer ones, and
giving them their own and their children's medical records. A final report will
be issued in June, 2013. Stay tuned to Beyond Nuclear for updates. More.

Mark II boiling water reactors in the United States must install high capacity
radiation filters on containment vents. The Massachusetts group Pilgrim Watch
is appealing to the Commissioners to adopt the recommendation and issue a new
Order requiring the filtered venting systems. The nuclear industry is opposing
the recommendation to instead control spending on old reactors. More.

Protesters and waste comments
Judge refuses to send VT Yankee protesters to jail following jury trial and
“guilty” verdict. A Vermont Superior Court judge refused the request of the
six members of the “Shut It Down Affinity Group” to send them to jail following
a jury’s verdict of “guilty” on charges of criminal trespass. Instead, Judge
John Wesley banned the women from further protest at the Fukushima-style
nuclear reactor during a 45-day suspended sentence and fined them $350 each.
They vowed to return. More.
