Notes on the teratology of disaster response

September, 2017

It is difficult to speak of disaster without relinquishing specificity, as if the very term insists on generalization. One reason that the massive body of literature on 3.11 — the 2011 earthquake, tsunami and ensuing nuclear catastrophe at Fukushima-1 — has not aged well is that it itself has become the vessel of grander narratives: narratives of risk and its incalculability, technological failure and its inevitability, of victimhood as universal, and of safety as myth. This report on a September 2017 study trip to Fukushima’s Iitate village, hosted by the NPO Resurrection of Fukushima and sponsored by the Atsumi International Scholarship Foundation, argues that for those that work in and on the aftermath of this disaster — whether they are government agencies, volunteers, scientists or individual citizens — negotiating these mythological or ideological inflections is a central challenge. 

Over 6,000 people lived here when disaster struck: well outside the exclusion zone, the village even welcomed a large number of disaster refugees from other areas. But a few days later, changing weather patterns pushed the F1 radiation plume inland. On March 22, an inspection team from the International Atomic Energy Agency gathered samples twice that of the civilian safety limit inside the village. Anxiety and animosity grew amidst contradictory radiation readings, and conflicting information on its risks; many left on their own accord. “We have been sacrificed so that Tokyo can enjoy bright lights,” a local farmer told the New York Times. A month later, the evacuation order came. NHK showed footage of faceless workers in hazmat suits running geiger counters over childrens’ bodies, “as if radiation was contagious”. For Muneo Kanno, Resurrection of Fukushima’s local representative, this is the moment when Iitate’s collective disaster experience transformed from victimhood into pariah. When journalists reporting on a hot spot in Tokyo’s affluent Setagaya ward called it “another Iitate,” the village had been reduced to a marker of pollution. “We found ourselves right in the middle of a narrative we could not have changed or predicted.“ This time last year, nobody was allowed back, but now some six percent of villagers have returned. For those that do, it must be said, the serious problem to contend with is not radiation but sanitation. Meter-high soil platforms are caked on top of existing lots to prevent flooding from contaminated rivers. Decontamination demands the removal of top soil, traditionally considered the most fertile, which often ends up in black bags on top of the same field or a nearby one, sand and gravel put in its place and flattened by heavy truck wheels. 

Surveying the landscape, the black bags are what one tends to notice first. There are a lot of them: 2,6 million in Iitate alone, by last year’s count. At one metric ton it takes a lot of work to fill one, and a truck only takes three or four. The enterprise of shuffling them about the village is a labor-intensive one, but their presence can be lucrative. When our dour bus guide addresses them some twenty minutes into the tour, one has almost had time to get used to them. Sometimes wrapped in a glaucous green tarpaulin, sometimes behind construction site fencing, they accentuate the contours of the post-disaster landscape as reminders of the fallout that lingers here, the impossibility of accounting for it all, and that place beyond the mountains whence it came: F1 with its molten cores, at once nowhere and everywhere to be found, its glacier walls, and its expanding network of contaminated water tanks… F1 and the incomprehensibly large apparatus of decommission and decontamination surrounding it: the endless lines of trucks entering leaving the compound, the hazmat-suited hordes of subcontractors attending to it, the shanty towns that house them, the convenience stores, movie theaters and red-light districts that keep them going. Just because a few reactors explode, it does not mean they stop being productive. 

Iitate straddles the inner edge of Hama-dori, the coastal and most developed part of Fukushima prefecture. Yet it is far both from the booming economy of decommission, and from the avant-garde landscape architecture transmogrifying coastal communities leveled by the tsunami into wave-breaking fortresses. It is far from all of that. But there is no lack of activity here: large public works projects are everywhere, as are the traces of state-cognitive infrastructure, from the ubiquitous Geiger counters to the traffic checkpoints. The machinery of disaster management creeps outward while the no-go zones recede: newly redrawn lines between those to be repatriated and those to remain in refuge cut deep in the social fabric of the village diaspora, already stretched thin. As we descend into the next valley, we are welcomed by a dense latticework of solar panels covering large swathes of its basin. Solar has often been touted as a potential antidote to the centralized yet lossy distribution schemes exemplified by nuclear power, but these massive facilities are owned by infotech conglomerates with headquarters in Marunouchi skyscrapers, and nobody seems to know where the electricity is going. The megasolars flooding these rice fields on aggressive short-term leases, are themselves high-risk, high-return endeavors that seem to replicate the central contradictions of the nearby nuclear facilities. I reach for my phone to read up on the leasing process, triggering a brief bidding war won by an advert for “self-powered” cryptocurrency farms to be rented out, in turn, to larger mining initatives. Worlds collide: it is a photo of a solar farm identical to the one we are driving past. 

Amidst this landscape of simultaneous intensity of investment and decay, the NPO Resurrection of Fukushima has crafted a powerful vision of local community and regional autonomy, and in that same context, a unique position for themselves as a conduit between outside experts, villagers and local government. Active in Iitate since the early disaster aftermath, they have developed and documented a range of experimental practices responding to the reality of devastated conditions for agricultural production through both fallout and cleanup, in addition to systematic radiation monitoring across the village. The latter seems to be organization’s primary concern during our visit, and at the core of their activities lies a map of the village split across a grid into zones for automated collection of up-to-date radiation values, a record of which can be accessed for comparison. In creating a map that is in many ways more palpable than the simultaneously derelict and investment-heavy territory it represents, Resurrection of Fukushima’s monitoring efforts interrogate the relationship between actuality and virtuality, real and representation. Differently put, what the earth gives matters less than its radiological readings. What is harvested here is but a byproduct (albeit a delicious one). For Resurrection of Fukushima’s president, Yoichi Tao, this task of making the invisible visible is also a therapeutic, because accumulation of data alleviates the anxiety of uncertainty that otherwise threatens to become all-pervasive among those trying to survive in the village. What’s at stake here is less the accuracy or credibility of individual measurement, but the threshold where data accrues sufficiently so as to afford it some weight amidst the post-disaster complexity of multiple monitoring initiatives, expert opinions and governing agencies. Yet even if people trust the numbers, “they don’t trust us”, says Mr Tao. “They think we’re some weird scientists.” In response, he argues that “we are not here for anyone else’s sake, but our own.” The metropole is a deadening place, and there are a lot of interesting things happening out here. Resurrection of Fukushima is not here to act in the name of the village or its denizens: “we empathize (kyoukan) and collaborate (kyoudou)” but it is up to the villagers themselves to wrestle back control over the post-disaster narrative. The rhetoric here is refined. Yet the concrete characteristics of this collaborative relationship remain enigmatic throughout our residency. We spend our last morning preparing seedbeds for one such experimental harvest: a few dollar store bags of radish seeds. 

Concrete initiatives like this one organized by Resurrection of Fukushima seem marked by serendipity and loosely assigned responsibility, something us city-dwellers fail to facilitate. Instead we fall back onto our own hierarchies, clueless as to what larger questions shaped the experiment’s design, and how it fits into the long-term program of data accumulation. Before leaving the village, we return the dosimeters we’ve worn during our visit and each fill out a radiation exposure diary of sorts; in itself a stimulating and productive group exercise, but while their presence demanded one’s attention during the first day or two, I get the feeling that most of us have already stopped worrying about the implications of the dosimeters around or necks or their wildly uneven readings. Seventy-two hours in the stunningly beautiful surroundings of Iitate village is enough time to trouble anybody’s alarmism regarding such matters, but nowhere near enough to grasp the magnitude of the project that the organization have embarked on, nor of the post-disaster as it takes shape in their steadfast plotting of radioactive half-lives toward the vanishing point of regional resurrection and autonomy.

Solar energy is considered one of the most promising and rapidly growing sectors of the world economy. In line with the international trend of switching to renewable energy sources, particularly solar, and because of the tragic events at the Fukushima nuclear power station, Japan is experiencing a real “solar boom.” However, despite all obvious advantages of using solar power (ensuring national energy security, overcoming concerns about environmental consequences of using fossil energy sources, etc.), Japan is facing several problems in its development. The most important one is the fact that technological and social progresses in Japan do not match each other as a result of a unique history of the nation. In order to promote renewable technology, the emphasis should be made on the role of the governmental policy and the effects of built-in tariffs for renewable energy sources. Considering dynamics and character of solar energy development in Japan, new energy strategy, and megasolar plants construction, the conclusion might be drawn that in the nearest future Japan will keep its place among the leaders in this field.
