In this event, we seek to acknowledge and remember Fukushima, the trauma caused to the earth and the lives forever impacted by its meltdown. We carry with us the ties to the terrible incident, not only by shared earth, but also by way of a shared, and fatally flawed, reactor model. Not only is Fermi 2 the same Mark1 design, but is the world’s largest! The accountability to safety not only falls on the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) but on the Detroit Edison (DTE) utility company as well.
In the ten years since the Fukushima meltdown, we have gathered ten years’ worth of evidence against Mark 1 reactors and dirty, dangerous nuclear energy in general. We’ve also gathered ten years of momentum in renewable energy development and generation capacity. At this crossroads, we stand in acknowledgment of the importance of the waters of the Great Lakes and commit to ensuring their safety.
