TOKYO (Kyodo) -- Masako Sakata was not fully supportive when her mother, Shizuko, started distributing self-made, mimeographed newsletters to campaign against nuclear power on the streets of a town in Nagano Prefecture more than 30 years ago.
"I thought her doubts over nuclear power plant safety might have been fair, but I had more belief in comments by scientists saying that safety issues had been sufficiently examined," Masako Sakata said.
But prompted by the nuclear emergency at the Fukushima No. 1 power plant, she recently reread the newsletters, called "Please Listen," and realized that what her mother had feared until her death in 1998 at age 74 had actually come about.
