Hi there,

The media can be the greatest force for peace on Earth. Instead, all too often, it’s wielded as a weapon of war. That's why we have to take the media back. Thanks to a group of generous donors, all donations made today will be DOUBLED, which means your $15 gift is worth $30. With your contribution, we can continue to go to where the silence is, to bring you the voices of the silenced majority – those calling for peace in a time of war, demanding action on the climate catastrophe and advocating for racial and economic justice. Every dollar makes a difference. Thank you so much!

Radioactive Water Leaks from Japan’s Fukushima Plant

HeadlineApr 06, 2012

In news from Japan, about 12 metric-tons of radioactive water have leaked from the stricken Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant, possibly flowing into the Pacific Ocean. Officials say a leak was found in a pipe early Thursday and has since been plugged. The incident follows a series of other reported leaks at the Fukushima facility, which was damaged following a massive earthquake last year. Meanwhile, researchers at Dartmouth College say they have found radioactive iodine in New Hampshire that is a direct result of the Fukushima disaster.
