Hear from health and environmental experts.
Japan has begun the release of over a million tons of radioactive water from Fukushima into the Pacific Ocean. Many experts have stated that this is a dangerous way to dispose of the waste.
On July 11, 2023, the Berkeley City Council abstained on a proposal from the Peace and Justice Commission to oppose the discharge. Since then Japan has twice released water from the damaged Fukushima Nuclear Plant into the Pacific Ocean. The public will hear from prominent scientists, environmental experts, and health professionals, as the world faces the first-ever release of massive amounts of radioactive wastewater into the Pacific Ocean, over the next 40 years.
