Former Ambassador to President Obama: Fukushima Unit 4 can cause “major global catastrophe” — This is the “most pressing global security issue”

Excerpts from Former Japanese Ambassador to Switzerland Mitsuhei Murata’s Letter to U.S. President Barack Obama, Published Oct. 28, 2013:

*Much reported contaminated water problem at Fukushima Daiichi is overshadowing the Unit 4 crisis which is the most pressing global security issue
*If the worst happens, the total evacuation will be imposed and it will be, as top scientists of the world warn, the beginning of a major global catastrophe
*It is urgently needed to set up an international task force
*Conditions of unprecedented complexity
*This requires the establishment of a new system based on the full assumption of responsibilities by the Government of Japan
*This is the crisis of Japan as a nation, not the crisis of the management of TEPCO
