Media artist Kazuko Hachiya (八谷和彦) realized an animated video to explain the situation at the nuclear plant of Fukushima.The main character is Genpatsu-kun (i.e. Mr. Nuclear power station )who has a stomach ache caused by the earthquake. Doctors (i.e. nuclearexperts) go and cure him with cold water and boric acid to prevent himto “poo” (i.e. to release radiations). At the moment, Genpatsu-kun'sstomach ache doesn't stop but his health condition is constantlymonitored and so far, only repeated “poopees” (i.e. smoke emissions)have been reported.
The anime also explains how, even in the worst scenario, Mr. Genpatsu(i.e. Fukushima plant) is different from Mr. Chernobyl, as he iswearing a nappy. However, in case Mr. Genpatsu had to poo (i.e. thenuclear plant exploded), the effects on the health of the people livingin the area would be very serious for decades.
