How will Japan’s radioactive water discharge into the sea affect us?

Chat Lounge

Japan is months away from releasing into the sea more than 1.2 million tons of radioactive wastewater accumulated from its crippled Fukushima nuclear power plant. Is the release really in line with international practice? How will it affect the environment and our health once the process begins? And what ramifications will it generate after the opening of the Pandora’s box?

Host Tu Yun is joined by Nobel laureate Dr. Tilman Ruff, infectious diseases and public health physician and Co-President of the International Physicians for the Prevention of Nuclear War, Changhua Wu, Executive Director of the Professional Association for China's Environment, and Josef Mahoney, Professor of Politics and International Relations, East China Normal University on this episode of Chat Lounge.
