Forking Out to Make Nuclear Power History Chris Flynn, Australian/University Teacher, Golden Oldies Rugby Player

t has been 18 months since the horrific live broadcast of the Fukushima Daichii Nuclear Power Plant reactors explosion wreaked fear and dread throughout Japan. Visions of Chernobyl and Three Mile Island came into my mind, and the minds of the many friends and relatives who called and told me to get out of Japan. However, being 1,200 km from Fukushima, my common sense prevailed and I stayed, but since then I have been overcome with a feeling of guilt - that my tacit acceptance of nuclear power was one of the causes of the disaster. I grew up in Australia during the Cold War, and one of the big political issues was the banning of uranium exports. Apart from New Zealand, Australia was about as antinuclear as you could get. The mere thought of building a nuke power station would be an electionloser for any party. However, in my 25 years in

Japan I wasn’t that worried that there was a nuclear reactor only 50 km from my house in Fukuoka. That is not to say that I didn’t raise the question. After a few beers I once challenged a Kyuden employee, saying that it was silly for them to build such a station in Sendai, Kagoshima, an area prone to earthquakes, to which his tone turned aggressive. He told me that, “It is people like you spreading such unfounded rumors that is the bigger problem.” There were all those questions to be asked: what will happen

to the spent fuel, what will happen when the plants are decommissioned, is the cost of storing the high radioactive nuclear waste included in the cost of nuclear power? All these questions I should have been asking just didn’t seem as important as turning on the air conditioning during the summer heat. Fast-forward to the present. The majority of Japanese don’t see nuclear power as an acceptable form of energy. The cost of the Fukushima cleanup will never be covered by the nuclear power industry, and there is no insurance against another disaster. Industry wants the power, and donation-taking politicians are still willing to take the nuclear risk, but the people are not standing for it. I see the tens of thousands of people demonstrating against nuclear power in front of the Diet, and I think I should be there with them. But I’m not. I do not feel I have the moral ground to protest, after being so accepting of nuclear power for so long. Am I willing to take a 40% cut in electricity to see nuke reactors go? Do I have a better alternative? The answer is yes. Having the luxury of being a homeowner,

I have a roof over my head that gets its daily dose of sunlight. It makes perfect sense– get solar power. It wasn’t long before I was flooded by companies measuring up my roof for their free quotes, and I have been presented with numerous options. The government has just passed a bill guaranteeing the buyback of your unused solar electricity at ¥42 per KWh for 10 years. Compare that to the cost of electricity: ¥30 peak, ¥19 shoulder and ¥9 off peak, and it is a generous offer. Add a national subsidy of about ¥100K and the Fukuoka City subsidy of ¥100K and solar power generation starts looking attractive. If I installed a solar power generation system, the money I save and make on electricity would be roughly equivalent to the monthly payments for the loan to pay for the system. Of course there are some questions – will the amount of power generated be as much as the salesman is telling me? Will the panels really last for 10 years? How much will the maintenance cost? Will it get cloudy as soon as I get them installed? Will it actually cost me money in the long run? But after weighing up the alternatives, I

は原子力をエネルギー源として受け入れていない。福島原発の後片付けにかかる費用は原子力会社によって補填されることはないし、次なる悲劇が起こらないという保証も無い。しかし企業は電力を必要とし、政治献金を受け取っている政治家は未だに原子力発電所の建設に賭けている。が、表立って反対の立場を示す個人も多くいる。国会議事堂の前に集まり、反原発を掲げ、デモを行なう何万人という人々を見て、僕もその場に居るべきだと思うが、実際のところ僕は参加しない。なぜなら、これほど長い期間、原子力の存在を受け入れて来た自分が、今さら原子力に反対するのに違和感を感じているからだ。原子炉がストップし、自分の消費電力が 40％カットさ

れることに賛成できるだろうか？もしくは、原子力に変わる何か良いものはあるのだろうか？そう考えた時、自分でもできることを見つけた。一戸建てを持つという贅沢に恵まれた僕の頭上には、一日中太陽光線を浴びている屋根があるじゃないか。そう、太陽光発電を取り付ければいいのだ！すでにいくつかの会社が無料で見積もりしてくれた上に、多様なシミュレーションも付けてくれた。しかも政府は、太陽光発電による電力を KWh につき 42 円で 10 年間買い取るという法案が成立した。さらには国や福岡市からの補助金も豊富な今、太陽発電に切り替えることはとても魅力的だ。太陽光発電のソーラーパネルを設置して節約できる電気代を試算してみると、

am going to bite the bullet and get the solar installed – costing about ¥1.5 million for a 3.7kw system. The loan repayments will be about ¥12,000 per month, about how much I pay for electricity now. Only when I am electrically self-sufficient will I have the moral ground to join the demonstrators and demand that these potential disasters in the form of nuclear power stations be shut down for good, so that families can raise their children without the fear of another Fukushima raining down on us. I urge as many as possible to do what you can to make nuclear power history. Dodesho?

設置費の月々の返済金額に相当するが、もちろん疑問も残る。しかし、メリット、デメリットなど色々と慎重に検討した結果、150 万円という大金をはたいて太陽光発電を設置することを決めた。ローンの支払いは 1 カ月あたり約 12,000 円で、これは現在の我が家の電気代に相当する。電力を自分で得ることが出来る時に限り、僕はデモに参加して、原子力発電所の事故災害の可能性を叫び、子供たちを安心して育てるためにも完全閉鎖が必要で、福島の二の舞はあってはならないことを訴える権利があるのだと考える。僕は、原子力発電を過ぎ去った歴史の産物とするために、出来る限りのことをすべきだと主張したい。

Duncan A. Stephenson

therwise known as Das — stemming from his stage name, Das Funkt -- Duncan is far from your typical DJ. A dedicated follower of electronic music hailing from London, England, Duncan already had a notable amount of DJ-ing experience at house parties, bars and clubs under his belt upon his arrival. But a combination of his ambitious exploration of the local dance-music scene and a timely opportunity early in his arrival to open for well-known U.S DJ, Derrick May, soon made Duncan an instrumental part of Fukuoka’s nightlife. Today, Duncan spends his time DJ-ing at several different clubs across town, putting on events offering credible dance music to underground scenesters and new listeners alike, teaching Fukuoka’s future DJs, and corunning an online publication, Experimence, geared to make Fukuoka’s club scene more accessible to fans and curious listeners alike. Duncan's talented artistry has taken him to various other parts of the world as well, including Shanghai and Hong Kong. There’s no knowing where DJ-ing will take Duncan next -- but for now, he’s currently making Fukuoka a better place to party in.

Kyushu’s most popular outdoor music festival celebrates its 20th anniversary! Over three days, 60 artists get the crowd of 15,000+ people partying by Keya Beach to the sounds of reggae, rock, Jpop, electro and more! Artists to catch this year include: Rowshi, Rhymester and Frying Dutchman.

Fukuoka’s entertainment district returns to its roots with a free jazz festival on multiple stages indoors and outdoors. World famous New York based Japanese jazz trumpeter Hino Terumasa headlines a stellar bill of Japanese jazz artists playing live over two nights around Nakasu.

Launched in 2011, this event has become a hub for creative people from technology-based industries across Asia. Presentations and workshops are put on by famous industry personalities to promote creative thinking. A unique event of appeal to all ages! Check the website!

One of the “big three” Hakata festivals, no Autumn in Fukuoka is complete without a trip to Hojoya! Along with Shinto rituals, the 1km approach to Hakozakigu Shrine is lined with around 500 busy stalls. This 1,000 year-old festival is a great way to herald in Autumn.
