World-renowned political dissident, linguist, author and MIT
Professor Noam Chomsky traveled to Japan last week ahead of the
three-year anniversary of the Fukushima crisis. Chomsky, now 85 years
old, met with Fukushima survivors, including families who evacuated the
area after the meltdown. "[It’s] particularly horrifying that this is
happening in Japan with its unique, horrendous experiences with the
impact of nuclear explosions, which we don’t have to discuss," Chomsky
says. "And it’s particularly horrifying when happening to children — but
unfortunately, this is what happens all the time."
