Beyond Nuclear speaks out against Fukushima Daiichi radioactive wastewater dumping in the Pacific Ocean
Kevin's statement, with Japanese subtitles:
Coalition letter to Japanese government agencies, opposing planned radioactive wastewater dumping into Pacific Ocean
Beyond Nuclear joined with 70 other organizations in writing to Japan's Ministry of Foreign Affairs, as well as Ministry of Economy, Trade, and Industry. The coalition is urging the Japanese national government to reverse its unwise and dangerous decision, announced two months ago, to begin -- a couple years from now -- dumping 330+ million gallons (1.25+ million metric tonnes, or 1.25 billion+ liters) of highly radioactive wastewater into the Pacific Ocean at Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant.
