Jinzaburo Takagi - The Citizen Scientist is Gone

by Mycle Schneider
Director of WISE-Paris
Chief Editor of Plutonium Investigation

Paris, October 2000

"Even at this last moment, I have things to write and leave to younger
generations, and as far as my health condition allows me, I will try so f=
or
some time". Three weeks after having scribbled with a pencil this very la=
st
letter to me, Jinzaburo Takagi passed away. I'll never forget his skinny,
tired hand waving a slow, final, and the ultimate good-bye a few hours
before cancer cut his life line. He knew, I knew.

Japan lost a prolific writer and gifted teacher, a superb scientist and a=
cid
critic of the nuclear establishment. Democracy has to do without this
tireless visionary full of stinging questions and his very own personal
answers. Children wait in vain for new books. Activists, journalists,
politicians have to do without his pertinent analysis and thoughtful
comments. And beyond the loss of an irreplaceable colleague and advisor, =
I
mourn my friend.

We met for the first time in Vienna, Austria, in September 1986. Five mon=
ths
after the Chernobyl catastrophe, the International Atomic Energy Agency
(IAEA) had set up a big conference to report on the origins and consequen=
ces
of the disaster. We called this the nuclear lobby's "Whitewash Conference=
"
and shared the revolting sentiment over an unbelievable =AD but neverthel=
ess
enlightening - statement by Dr. Morris Rosen, then head of the department=
 of
nuclear safety of the IAEA: "Even if there was this type of accident ever=
y
year, (S) I would consider nuclear power to be a valid source of energy".
Takagi-san and myself were members of an international task force, on the
invitation of Greenpeace International, to give an independent review of =
the
state of nuclear safety in the world. The outcome, an impressive 600-page
report, was presented to the press in Vienna in parallel to the IAEA
conference and stirred up massive media attention. Takagi-san was deeply
shocked by the Chernobyl accident and continued to closely monitor the
health and social consequences of the tragedy.

From then on, we met on many occasions around the globe. Our cooperation
grew into a new dimension after Takagi-san had invited me to the Omiya
International Plutonium Conference in 1991, my first visit to Japan. (Whe=
n I
was brought from the airport straight to a press conference - forget abou=
t
jet-lag or fatigue - it became obvious immediately that time management i=
s
different in JapanS). The Omiya Conference became a milestone in the deba=
te
over the separation and use of plutonium. For the first time in Japan, th=
e
entire spectrum of implications of the plutonium industry had been openly
discussed with competence and independence. After this event we met in
places like Krasnoyarsk, Siberia, for a unique fuel cycle analysis
conference co-sponsored by the local authorities, the nuclear industry an=
d
various NGOs; in Darmstadt (Germany), Amsterdam (Netherlands), Paris, Kyo=
to
and Tokyo, to work on the International MOX Assessment (IMA); in London (=
UK)
on plutonium issues; in K=F6ln (Germany) where I interviewed him for Germ=
an TV
on the Monju accident; and we traveled Japan together on speaking tours m=
ore
than once.

Takagi-san was a gifted teacher. When one does not understand the languag=
e,
one tends to observe people much closer. With my zero knowledge of Japane=
se
language I had ample opportunity for observation during the speaking tour=
s,
on- and off-the-record meetings and press conferences with Takagi-san. Hi=
s
audiences were fascinated by his talks. He was never acting, he just had =
a
very intense way of speaking, often slowly and soft, sometimes affirmativ=
e
and loud, but always convinced and therefore convincing. After a question=
,
many times he would leave a blank, not for effect, but because he actuall=
y
thought before he spoke.

Jinzaburo Takagi grew up in a family where science became a common goal. =
His
elder brother by two years, Kojiro, Professor of Physics at the Toyama
University, a man with a great sense of humor and the corresponding broad
smile, says that his generation believed in science as a fundamental tool=
 to
build up a new Japan growing out of the ashes of the Second World War. Hi=
s
eldest brother Ryuro heads a Psychiatric Clinic in Kyoto and has been a
great supporter of the nine year younger brother; his eldest sister is a
medical doctor. Only his lovely younger sister Hide Miyagawa resisted the
call of science and entered the administration of a music school.

In 1962 Takagi-san purchased second hand Glen Seaborg's 1958 book entitle=
d
"The Transuranium Elements". Seaborg had synthesized plutonium for the fi=
rst
time in 1941 and his book has deeply influenced the early Takagi-san.
Seaborg wrote: "The story of plutonium is one of the most dramatic in the
history of science. It was discovered and methods for its production were
developed during the last war, under circumstances that makes a fascinati=
ng
and intriguing story. It is, of course, a continuing story, and added
chapters will have to be written at a later date." At the time, Takagi-sa=
n
had just started working at a laboratory of the nuclear industry, a young=
,
dynamic research and technology sector, representing Japan=B9s future, an=
d he
was certain: "I resolved firmly to add a new chapter to the science of
plutonium. I was 23 years old at that time." It was the intrinsic link
between civil and military applications and the fascination that scientis=
ts
developed for both ends which first made him raise his eye brows. He was
shocked that such an outstanding scientist as Glenn T. Seaborg, recalled
=B3many ingenious and brilliant ideas=B2 to build nuclear weapons.
The following 13 years, mainly in the nuclear industry and at Tokyo
Metropolitan University, served not only to complement his education as a
nuclear chemist but also to sharpen his view for the lack of independence
and social responsibility in science and technology. While working on
nuclear safety, he was surprised to find out =B3how little we nuclear che=
mists
knew about the behavior of radioactive substances=B2. That would not be a
problem as such as long as Oyou know what you don=B9t know=B9 and as long=
 as
uncertainty is appropriately taken into account in risk assessment and
management. Takagi-san realized that his colleague scientists and enginee=
rs
brushed off growing citizen concern without having the appropriate basis =
to
do so. That was the =B3turning point=B2 in Takagi-san=B9s life.
The time he spent as a guest scientist in Heidelberg, Germany, at the Max
Planck Institute for Nuclear Physics in 1972-73 broadened his scientific
background and his cultural and linguistic knowledge. The Vietnam War too=
k a
significant place in the political debate of the time and Takagi-san beca=
me
a profound opponent of the war.

When he came back from Germany, Takagi-san went through a period of
difficult, sometimes painful, but decisive personal and professional
decisions. He quit his safe position as an associate professor for nuclea=
r
chemistry at the Tokyo Metropolitan University- and a top career -to set =
up
the Citizens' Nuclear Information Center (CNIC). What over the years has
become the key reference for independent critical information on nuclear
issues in Japan - not only for journalists, scientists, politicians and
interested citizens in Japan but all over the world - was almost a
revolutionary idea 25 years ago. The initiative to establish high level
analysis capacity outside the industry, the elite science institutions an=
d
the government was seen by many as impossible, by some as treachery.
Takagi-san's partner Kuniko Takagi-Nakada ("Hari-san") became the central
moral and mental support of his initiatives and remained an essential sou=
rce
of inspiration until his end.

The key driving force behind Takagi-san's workaholic writing, travelling,
speaking, teaching and consulting activities was his insatiable hunger fo=
r
justice and truth. He continued to be outraged by the decision making
process on nuclear - and other - issues in Japan and believed that his ro=
le
as a "Citizen Scientist", a term invented by Professor Frank von Hippel w=
ho
heads the Center for Energy and Environment at Princeton University, was =
to
increase the level of democracy.  The broadening of the understanding of =
the
implications of decisions and the progressive modification of the rules w=
ere
the goals. The basis for credibility are competence and independence. The
long term guarantee for fundamental and sustainable change of society is
only provided by absolute integrity and public accountability. This is wh=
at
Jinzaburo Takagi represented. This is why his disappearance hurts so many
people so much.

In 1995 Professor John Gofman, Professor Emeritus of Molecular and Cell
Biology at the University of California at Berkeley, nominated Takagi-san
and myself jointly for the Right Livelihood Award. Gofman is also a medic=
al
doctor who has a PhD in nuclear/physical chemistry and shares patents on =
two
processes for separating plutonium from irradiated fuel and a patent on
fissionability of uranium-233 with Glen Seaborg. The US based Environment=
al
Research Foundation's publication Rachel's Health & Environment Weekly
called Gofman "one of the greatest teachers of the 20th century". We were
thrilled that this outstanding and gentle man nominated us for the award,
commonly known as the Alternative Nobel Prize (which he had received hims=
elf
in 1992). But it was only after the nomination had been re-introduced for
the third time  that the jury selected us for the award in 1997, recogniz=
ing
"a unique partnership in the struggle to rid humanity of the threats pose=
d
by the manufacture, transport, use and disposal of plutonium". The jury
stated that "they were honored for the scientific rigor of their research
and the effectiveness of their dissemination of its results, which have
served to alert the world to the unparalleled dangers of plutonium to hum=
an
life, and empowered many to resist the misinformation and the secrecy
whereby the plutonium industry imposes these dangers on the public". We w=
ere
enthusiastic about the award that we considered the most prestigious
recognition for our work.

The technical analysis is only the first step of the approach needed to
master a given problem. The development of policy implementation strategi=
es
remains the core of progress towards social change. We spend many hours
discussing political and institutional barriers in Japan and in France. I=
n
his Award acceptance speech, Takagi-san said: "There seems now no reasona=
ble
justification for continuing any civil plutonium program. One of the key
factors which keep the program alive is above all the huge bureaucratic
inertia. You can easily understand why the two countries with a very much
centralized bureaucratic system, i.e. France and Japan, are going to be
plutonium giants." Another barrier for change is the rigid elite system i=
n
both countries and the almost religious belief that top technocrats "don'=
t
make mistakes". In reality they have been making so many mistakes in the
past, in particular in the energy sector, that both countries have been
driven into a dangerous nuclear one-way street. The plutonium saga is onl=
y
the tip of the iceberg. Trillions of Yen have been and shall be spent on =
a
plutonium program that very clearly has failed to provide any net social
benefit. The findings of the major two year social impact assessment into
the use of plutonium fuels (MOX), directed by Takagi-san and myself, has
never been rebutted by the plutonium industry. Why should the industry do
so? No political decision making process forces the nuclear industry to
public accountability. The public inquiries prior to licensing in the
nuclear sector are a hoax, in Japan and in France, and are a shame for a
so-called democracy. And thus the autocratic machinery rambles on, beyond
political and citizen control. In Japan there seems to be an unhealthy
leftover of the Samurai tradition: carry on straight ahead and if you wer=
e
wrong commit harakiri. The recent banking crisis seems to recall this
mentality, no remediation measures until bankruptcy. But the plutonium
industry has been off-scale in this respect. They have been wrong in ener=
gy
consumption forecasts, on uranium price development, on cost estimates, o=
n
facility construction time evaluation, on spent fuel management schemes,
etc. But it simply does not matter. It just goes on. And it will go on, i=
n
Rokkasho-mura or elsewhere, as long as a truly democratic decision making
process does not force the lobby to face public scrutiny.

One week after Takagi-san went, the Japanese nuclear utilities declared
their intention to conclude further contracts for oversees reprocessing -=
 or
better plutonium production - with the French plutonium company COGEMA. T=
he
operational risks and the environmental pollution - the plutonium plant a=
t
La Hague discharges about 20,000 times as much radioactivity than an aver=
age
French nuclear power plant - stay in France. The nuclear risk export and =
the
illegal storage of Japanese wastes in France  shall continue.
For how long? Takagi-san's hope was always based on the young and future
generations. He consciously devoted a significant share of his efforts to
public education, whether in speaking or writing. Takagi-san published 58
books and co-authored 46 more. Two further books are not published yet; o=
ne
of which is his first short novel. Many were translated into several
languages, including some of his children's books (which my children enjo=
y
in French). The variety of his writings, whether novels, technical report=
s,
biographies or children's books reflect his broad based culture. It also
made it easier for him to navigate in this unofficial international netwo=
rk
of concerned scientists and citizens. This assisted him to make his scien=
ce
impeccable and his political efforts more efficient.

Takagi-san decided to use the Right Livelihood Award money to launch an
independent school to lead scientists in a non-academic way to system
analysis and accountability towards the citizen. In his last will he
confirmed this choice and calls for the creation of a Fund which will ser=
ve
to support young students. The great challenge will be to teach the teach=
ers
what Jinzaburo Takagi's ideas were all about. Because he is not there
anymore to guide or even answer a quick phone call or e-mail message. I m=
iss
him badly already.
Good bye, my friend.

Subject: (abolition-usa) Clinton vetoes secrets bill/hooray

Hi -- this article just in (and posted by one of our colleagues) updates a
"Print Bite" piece I wrote for our November newsletter, Citizen's Watch.
HOORAY, HOORAY for this veto. --mk

Clinton vetoes bill to tighten secrecy
By Deborah Charles
CHAPPAQUA, N.Y., Nov 4 (Reuters)

President Bill Clinton vetoed legislation
on Saturday that could impose prison terms on officials who leak classified
information, a measure that had drawn fire from news organisations.

Dozens of news organisations wrote to the president to complain about the
bill, saying the language was too broad and that it violated the free speech
provision in the First Amendment to the U.S. Constitution.

"Today I am disapproving H.R. 4392, the 'Intelligence Authorisation Act for
Fiscal Year 2001," because of one badly flawed provision that would have
made a felony of unauthorised disclosures of classified information."

The legislation, which was passed in Congress, was initially requested by
the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA). The Senate intelligence committee
inserted the anti-leak provision into the measure after closed hearings.

"Although well-intentioned, that provision is overbroad and may unnecessarily
chill legitimate activities that are at the heart of a democracy," Clinton
said.

While Clinton said he agreed that unauthorised disclosures could be
"extraordinarily harmful" to U.S. national security interests, he said the
free flow of information was essential in a democracy.

The CIA asked for the provision because it said it had lost agents and
sophisticated surveillance methods due to newspaper articles based on
leaks of classified information. The CIA has declined to comment on the bill.

"These leaks risk lives and endanger intelligence sources and methods --
sources and methods that may not be there to warn of the next terrorist
attack, crisis or war," Sen. Richard Shelby, an Alabama Republican and
chairman of the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence, said in reaction
to the veto.

Still, opponents of the legislation hailed Clinton's decision to veto the
legislation.

"The president has taken an important step toward protecting the rights of
all citizens to receive the information that keeps government accountable to
its people," said John Sturm, president and chief executive of the
Newspaper Association of America.

"Just the threat of criminal prosecution has a chilling effect on the free
flow of information to the public," he said in a statement.

Unlike many other countries, the United States has never had an official
secrets act.

Under current U.S. law, it is a crime to release classified information if it
helps a foreign power, exposes intelligence agents or relates to national
defence. The new bill appears to go beyond this, extending to virtually all
classified information.

The measure calls for criminal penalties for anyone who "knowingly and
wilfully discloses or attempts to disclose" any classified information.
Those found guilty could be imprisoned and pay a fine of up to $10,000.

Clinton said it was his obligation as president to protect the government's
vital information from improper disclosure but also to protect the rights of
citizens to receive the information necessary for democracy to work.

This legislation did not achieve the proper balance, he said.

"I deeply appreciate the sincere efforts of members of Congress to address
the problem of unauthorised disclosures and I full share their commitment,"
Clinton said.

The legislation as currently written could discourage government officials
from holding "legitimate" official activities like press briefings and public
discussions, he said.

"When the Congress returns I encourage it to send me this bill with this
provision deleted and I encourage the Congress as soon as possible to pursue
a more narrowly drawn provision tested in public hearings so that those they
represent can also be heard on this important issue," Clinton said.

In a recent appearance, U.S. Defence Secretary William Cohen said the biggest
disappointment in his four years at the Pentagon was the constant leaks of
top secret government information to Washington newspapers.

The secretary lamented that he even read personal memos to him in the
newspaper before they reached his desk.

Nuclear Weapons Tests
The Associated Press
Russia completed a series of subcritical test blasts of nuclear weapons on
the Arctic Novaya Zemlya archipelago this week, the Nuclear Power Ministry
said Friday.
The tests were successful and radiation levels were normal in the testing
area, said ministry spokesman Yury Bespalko.
Subcritical experiments - in which plutonium is blasted with explosives too
weak to set off an atomic explosion - are not prohibited by the
international Comprehensive Test Ban Treaty. Moscow says it will continue
the subcritical tests because they are necessary to ensure the safety of the
country's nuclear arsenal.

        NUCLEARIZATION AND MILITARIZATION OF OUTER SPACE

        A Presentation by Bruce Gagnon

        Coordinator
        Global Network Against Weapons & Nuclear Power in Space
        Gainesville, Florida

The US military is blunt about its plans to control space and the Earth
below. "US Space Command - dominating the space dimension of military
operations to protect US interests and investment. Integrating Space Forces
into warfighting capabilities across the full spectrum of conflict,"
trumpets the US Space Command in its report _Vision for 2020_. These words
in _Vision 2020_ --its cover a multi-colored depiction of a laser weapon
shooting its beams down from space, zapping a target below--are laid out
like the crawl at the start of the Star Wars movies.

They're not out of Hollywood, however, but in an official publication of the
US Space Command which "coordinates the use of Army, Naval, and Air Force
space forces," its website notes, and was set up by the Pentagon to "help
institutionalize the use of space."
(Karl Grossman, author of _The Wrong Stuff: The Space Program's Nuclear
Threat to Our Planet_).

In a recent story about his message concerning nuclearization and
militarization of space (US space defense policy) in _The Tampa Tribune_,
Mr. Bruce Gagnon expresses concerns about the negative impacts of the US'
multi-billion dollar space program on global peace and stability, saying,
"The policy today is to create a new arms race."  At the same time, Gagnon
added "the most vulnerable of citizens will be impoverished to pay billions
or trillions of dollars for projects like the International Space Station
and even more expensive plans to mine planets and asteroids." This
sophisticated militarization of space goes hand in hand with commercial
exploitation of space for the sole benefit of private American aerospace
corporations. Gagnon added, "I call it 'Pyramids to Heaven.' The aerospace
corporations are the pharaohs of the space age."  He warns "that once
billions have been spent to build elaborate space networks, the government
will turn the projects over to the corporations, leaving the taxpayers
nothing to show for their contributions."


On the other hand, there has been a growing popular movement in the United
States and around the world which has been mobilizing itself against more
militarization of space--reflected poignantly in the 1997 protests against
NASA's $3.4 BILLION Cassini space probe, powered by 72.3 pounds of
plutonium, that is planned to reach Venus.  This movement questions and
protests the nuclearization and militarization of space, demanding that
outer space be treated rightly as the "common heritage of human beings," as
elaborated by both the Moon Treaty and the 1967 Outer Space Treaty which
bans nuclear weapons and weapons of mass destruction in space. Mr. Gagnon
was the organizer of the Cancel Cassini Campaign that drew enormous support
and media coverage around the world and was featured on the TV program 60
Minutes.

Between 1983 - 1998 Bruce was the State Coordinator of the Florida Coalition
for Peace & Justice and has worked on space issues for the past 13 years. In
1987 he organized the largest peace protest in Florida history when over
5,000 people marched on Cape Canaveral in opposition to the first flight
test of the Trident II missile. Project Censored (from Sonoma State
University, CA) named a story on space weaponization by Bruce as the 8th
Most Censored story in 1999.

Mr. Gagnon will speak on the topic of "Nuclearization and Militarization of
Space" on Tuesday, November 14 at the University of Hawaii at Manoa.  *
