*Rokkasho Rhapsody- An In-Depth Documentary on THE NEWEST Nuclear Power
Reprocessing Plant
*Effects of Nuclear Energy in a Quiet Japanese Town
Since the age of nuclear energy first began, both proponents and opponents
have yet to agree
on whether its benefits outweigh its potential dangers. Come and explore
this controversy,
on July 12th and 13th, 2008, The Surfrider Foundation Oahu Chapter will be
presenting the
documentary film “Rokkasho Rhapsody” at the University of Hawaii Spalding
Auditorium in
collaboration with its Japan Chapter.
Rokkasho, a village in Northern Japan, is now the center of international
attention with the
completion of the newest and largest Nuclear Waster Power Reprocessing Plant
in the world
completed in 2004 and expected to become fully operational this summer.
A reprocessing plant differs from a nuclear power plant in that it does not
generate
electricity; instead it recycles the waste fuel from a nuclear reactor.
It extracts up to 97% of its plutonium and uranium for reuse that would
otherwise lay
in perpetual storage potentially leaching into our environment.
Proponents believe recycling these radioactive materials is a prudent idea
due to the high
volume of recyclable material obtained through the reprocessing process,
opponents argue
that it comes with irrevocable environmental consequences. According to
nuclear experts, in one day alone the discharge from this reprocessing plant
will equal
a year's worth of radiation produced by a typical nuclear power plant that
will quickly
disperse into our atmosphere and ocean.
In Rokkasho, the debate continues. The town has become dependent on the
economic stimulus
that the plant has provided through direct employment and by supporting
local businesses,
ensuring a future that once did not seem so bright. Rokkasho’s youth no
longer leave
their small community of 11,000 seeking prosperity and a better way of life
elsewhere.
And yet there are those who recognize and are concerned about the cost of
living with
radioactive exposure and the loss of traditional agricultural farming that
their town was
once dependent upon.
Through “Rokkasho Rhapsody,” director Kamanaka Hitomi patiently and
respectfully looks
at both sides of the issue. Organizers of this documentary film
presentation hope to
provide information about the Rokkasho Reprocessing Plant, and also to
encourage discussion
and bring attention to the world’s future energy sources, how much risk is
acceptable,
and how the Rokkasho Reprocessing Plant might affect Hawaii in the event of
an industrial
incident.
It’s not in our backyard, but the effects are profound and awareness is
key.
