ACT NOW! Stop Japan from dumping radioactive water!

SIGN the petition to the Government of Japan demanding that contaminated water be stored on land and solidified rather than being dumped into the Pacific Ocean.  　  

 

The Japanese government intends to release 1.2 million cubic meters of water contaminated with radioiodine, radiocesium, radiostrontium and tritium into the ocean. This water, which exceeds emission concentration standards, has been accumulating since the Fukushima nuclear reactor meltdowns and explosions in 2011. Yet more contaminated water will likely be dumped from the ruined reactor sites in the future. 

 

Japan civil society groups and Fukushima fishing unions are strongly opposed to ocean discharge. For the fishing industry, this is a matter of life and death. You can sign the organization or individual petition. This petition is sponsored by Citizens' Nuclear Information Center, No Nukes Asia Forum Japan and Friends of the Earth Japan.
