Agence France Presse has reported that 100 anti-nuclear rallies across Japan -- including in Tokyo (photo, left), Osaka, and Hiroshima -- took place on Saturday, marking three months since the Fukushima nuclear catastrophe began in the aftermath of the March 11 earthquake and tsunami. The Tokyo rally was organized by the Japan Congress against Atomic and Nuclear Bombs. Greenpeace, after monitoring high radiation levels in the prefectural capital 40 miles from the Daiichi nuclear power plant, have called for the expanded evacuation of pregnant women and small children.
