Today marks 11 years since the Tohoku earthquake and tsunami of March 11, 2011 (three days after my birthday), referred to as 3/11. Unfortunately, the more things change, the more things stay the same. Today, the world faces yet another nuclear threat from the Russian military which has taken hostage the crippled nuclear plant at Chernobyl and Europe’s largest nuclear facility Zaporizhzhia as part of its war and invasion of Ukraine. Reports state plant operators are working under gun point. Today the memories and lessons of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, Chernobyl and Fukushima are center stage.
