Japan's nuclear water release: Relevance to Filipinos
Manage episode 370912866 series 2910458
Japan is planning to release 1.3 million tons of treated water from the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant into the Pacific Ocean, which covers more than one-third of the planet.
The power plant's regulators, and even the government of Japan, say that the release will not cause any harm to the world's oceans, but fisherfolk and activists from different countries surrounding the Pacific, including the Philippines, say otherwise.
In this B-Side episode, Gregg Yan, founder and executive director of the environmental group Best Alternatives, discusses with BusinessWorld reporter Beatriz Marie D. Cruz why Japan's planned release of treated water from its nuclear power plants should matter to Filipinos.
