DESCRIPTION:Urgent: "Fukushima is Here... Now What?  A Town Hall Forum"\nScientists are 
 saying that Fukushima is here. What does this mean for us, and what can we 
 do about it?\nOctober 17, 7:00 pm; BFUU, 1924 Cedar St., @ Bonita, Berkeley 
 (2 blocks North and 3 blocks East of N. Berk. BART)\nPresented by BFUU 
 Social Justice Committee, Fukushima Response Network, Codepink Golden Gate, 
 No Nukes Action Committee\nSliding scale $5-$10 donation, no one turned 
 away; refreshments served; information, books, videos\nAre you wondering 
 what's going on with the nuclear power plant in Fukushima and whether the 
 effects of the Fukushima meltdown have reached California? What must we do 
 to contain the problem? What should we be asking our officials to do, 
 locally, nationally, internationally? Did you know about the campaign to 
 ask the UN to appoint an International INDEPENDENT Commission of Experts 
 (IICE) to handle the crisis?  Do you know what to do to protect yourself 
 from radiation? Speakers and videos will provide information on the 
 situation and suggested actions. Come with your questions and concerns; you 
 will leave with practical actions to take re. this critical situation. With 
 John Bertucci, Fukushima Response Network Sonoma County; Professor Masaki 
 Shimoji, anti-nuclear activist, Osaka Japan; Dr. Carol Wolman, Nick Thabit 
 and Holly Harwood, Fukushima Response Network; Steve Zeltzer, KPFA, 
 LaborFest; Chizu Hamada; Brad Newsham, "Fukushima is Here" project; Vic 
 Sadot, "No Nuke Blues".\nLocal and state officials invited; additional 
 speakers TBA\n\n\n"We are now within two months of what may be 
 humankind’s most dangerous moment since the Cuban Missile Crisis. There 
 is no excuse for not acting. All the resources our species can muster must 
 be focused on the fuel pool at Fukushima Unit 4. Fukushima’s owner, Tokyo 
 Electric (Tepco), says that within as few as 60 days it may begin trying to 
 remove more than 1300 spent fuel rods from a badly damaged pool perched 100 
 feet in the air. The pool rests on a badly damaged building that is 
 tilting, sinking and could easily come down in the next earthquake, if not 
 on its own. Some 400 tons of fuel in that pool could spew out more than 
 15,000 times as much radiation as was released at Hiroshima. The one thing 
 certain about this crisis is that Tepco does not have the scientific, 
 engineering or financial resources to handle it. Nor does the Japanese 
 government. The situation demands a coordinated worldwide effort of the 
 best scientists and engineers our species can muster."  Time for a Global 
 Takeover: The Crisis at Fukushima 4, by HARVEY WASSERMAN
