During my recent #reboot2030 interview discussing #solarpunk with @nicoheller , the host made a very interesting observaton:

Most Solarpunk technologies I focus on and promote are not about energy generation, storage, food sustainability or degrowth.

Instead, I concentrate on #communication and #decision-making technologies, putting humans and communities first, like pol.is, #Mastodon, #Wikipedia or even #Safecast.

I wasn't fully conscious of that, but I do think we should prioritize them!

safecast.org continues to do great work. On Fukushima tritiated water release: (1) looks good, if all goes according to plan; (2) lack of transparency (both in governance, and in water contents) continues to hurt trust. safecast.org/2023/08/tepcos-fu

TEPCO’s Fukushima water release plan is a recipe for mistrust – Safecast

Good news for all #Safecast #bGeigieNano users - the RadiationToolbox for #QGIS developed by @opengeolabs was published in official QGIS plugin repository so you can install it from QGIS using "Manage and install plugins". Enjoy.

Will Japan release Fukushima water into the Pacific?

Officials in Japan have claimed that water exposed to radiation in the Fukushima nuclear disaster is now safe to dump into the Pacific. Environmentalists say the water is too contaminated.

by Julian Ryall , November 20, 2019

"#TEPCO and the government [of #Japan] have long believed that the best way to dispose of the water is to simply release it into the #ocean. They claimed until this year that contaminated water had been cleansed by a so-called advanced liquid processing system to the point that virtually all the radionuclides had been reduced to 'non-detect' levels.

"Leaked TEPCO documents, however, show that varying amounts of 62 radionuclides — including #strontium, #iodine, #cesium and #cobalt — have not been removed from the water.

"The company has also been criticized for refusing to permit independent organizations to test the water that is being stored at the site.

"Nevertheless, environmentalists fear that preparations are under way to release the water into the environment.

"'Even a year ago, when the first report on options for disposing the treated water was presented to the committee, it seemed clear to me even then that the preferred option was to release it into the ocean,' said Azby Brown, the lead researcher for Tokyo-based nuclear monitoring organization #Safecast Japan. Other options included #evaporation and burying the water.

"'My take on this is that they have already reached a decision and that all these discussions now on the options are purely theater.'"
