"Silence, lack of cries, laughter, tears and only the wind answers... Have we learnt anything since then?"
I would say the framing of that question makes his stance pretty clear.
it means the same thing as ham-fisted, more or less.
For example, it's entirely possible he's talking about not building active reactors in lieu of passive ones...
I'd say his stance is pretty nuanced and more to do with the care taken by people when designing and operating nuclear technology than being anti nuclear technology.
Well, yes and no:
"TEPCO, that operated the station, had been warned their seawall was insufficient to withstand a powerful tsunami, but the seawall height was not raised in response." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fukushima_Daiichi_Nuclear_Powe...
I agree with your general sentiment, but I would say that humans are the biggest threat in nuclear power.
edit - also, if you design for tsunami, the two-punch scenario is your design brief.
"...I could assess the effects of the power station failure and understand the scale of the tragedy, especially the tragedy of the evacuated residents, in a better way. This was a way of drawing my own conclusions without being influenced by any media sensation, government propaganda, or nuclear lobbyists who are trying to play down the effects of the disaster..."
The author doesn't take a political stance on Nuclear Power. He's just documenting the contamination zone. He talks briefly about how the disaster could have been avoided if the plant was designed better. He gives factual and statistical information about how the residents don't want to return there.
This is a primary source that offers an first-hand account of the Fukushima disaster and it's aftermath. The author is an authority on Fukushima contamination zone because he's been there and seen it with his own eyes, and has chosen to share that with us.
Just because Arkadiusz Podniesińki doesn't straight out say "I support continued investment in nuclear power" doesn't necessarily mean he's against investment in nuclear power.
I think it's counter-productive to lambast an article like this because it doesn't fit into how you perceive the world. I think it's important to have an open mind and to be able to listen to what other people have to say.
We should be encouraging people to make more pieces like this. I know I'm going to be sharing this article.
