The nuclear plant crisis and the Univ.of Tokyo Discourse

I've read "The nuclear power plant crisis and the Univ.of Tokyo Discourse" written by Ayumu Yasutomi. After I reserved to borrow it, I have waited for a long time. It is popular at Oita pref. Library.

After Fukushima Daiich nuclear plant had an accident, people are confused because the government and TEPCO and scholars have hide facts or announce it is normal nonchalantly.
In this book, Prof.Yasutomi criticizes especially such scholars kept by the government, for the behavior as insincere to science.
For Prof.Yasutomi himself works for Tokyo Univ. and has been observing, he know that well. Then he designates it "Univ. of Tokyo discourse".Also he warns citizen lest being cheated.
This book is both so interesting and instructive. I recommend you.

Now the situation looks similar to those in the Japanese Community in Brazil immediately following the World War 2. --when the community divided in two, those who believed Japan had won and those who had believed Japan had lost.
There are people who believe the government releases that the radiation effects are little, and the other who measure the radioactive contamination by themselves and worry about especially children's health. It is terrible circumstance.
To think by myself is important.

　保富歩著　『原発危機東大話法』を読んだ。予約してからだいぶ待った。大分県立図書館では人気だ。
　福島第一原発事故後、人々は政府と東電と学者が事実を隠したり無責任に大丈夫と言うので困惑している。
　この本では、保富先生は特にそんな御用学者を、学問に対して謙虚でない姿勢を、批判している。保富先生自身が東大で働いて観察してきたことからよく知っている。それを「東大話法」と名づけ、だまされないよう警告している。
　この本は面白いし有意義だ。おすすめ。

　近頃、状況は第二次世界大戦直後のブラジルの日系人社会に似ている。日本が勝ったと信じる人々と日本が負けたと信じる人々に二分されたときと。
　政府が放射能の影響はないと公表したのを信じる人々がいる一方、自分たちで放射能の汚染を測って、特に子どもたちの健康を心配する人々がいる。痛ましい状況だと思う。
　自分で考えることが大事なんだ。
