December 16, 2022: Join an international webinar to oppose Japan’s plan to release Fukushima’s contaminated water into the Pacific Ocean.

The Japanese government and Tokyo Electric Power Company (TEPCO) are preparing to release “ALPS-treated” contaminated water from the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant into the Pacific Ocean despite strong opposition from both within and outside of Japan.

The Japanese government has stated that it will not take any action without the consent of relevant stakeholders. However, everyone who shares the Pacific Ocean will be affected. Japan must consult not only Japanese fishermen, but also other communities in Japan and other parts of the world, including Pacific Island nations.

Let’s listen to the voices of young Marshallese in the Pacific, whose livelihoods depend on the ocean, and people active in the West Coast of the United States.

Let’s collaborate to find a way to halt the dumping of
radioactive water into the ocean.

Speakers:

  1. Ruiko Muto, Citizens’ Conference to Condemn Further Pollution of the Ocean (KOREUMI) – from Fukushima
  2. Mulan Andrew, Marshall Islands Student Association (MISA)
  3. Tsukuru Fors, Pacific Asian Nuclear-Free Peace Alliance
  4. Dr. Arjun Makhijani, Institute for Energy and Environmental Research
  5. Video messages from Korea, China, Taiwan, and Australia

Organized by: Citizens’ Conference to Condemn Further Pollution of the Ocean (KOREUMI)

Supported by: FoE Japan, Peace Boat, Manhattan Project for a Nuclear-FreeWorld, Pacific Asian Nuclear-Free Peace Alliance
