FUKUSHIMA Lives on the Line
198/306

194of fact should be a touchstone, through which citizens of the world might empathize with the unique history of Japan: a World War II target of two atomic bombs, a Cold War recipient of radioactive fallout that contaminated the food supply, and the most recent nation to deal with a nuclear power plant meltdown.ACKNOWLEDGMENTSBackground radiation data at Fukushima Medical University came from Professor Tsuneo Kobayashi, Chair of the Department of Natural Sciences (Physics) at Fukushima Medical University. Professor Kobayashi is one among many in Fukushima who make factual data about our current nuclear crisis freely available to scholars and to the general public. Various members of FMU's academic community, and residents of the Hourai neighborhood of Fukushima City, continue to inconvenience themselves for the American among them (just as the US Embassy predicted). Personal narratives and photographs related to life and work in post-3.11 Fukushima have been posted at www.cbbstoday.org, courtesy of Eileen Selogie and the California Blood Bank Society. Melissa Abrams composed an elegant synopsis of these narratives for Mayo Alumni Magazine, Fall 2011 edition, available at www.mayo.edu/alumni/publications.html.REFERENCES1. Moore B, ed.
