#Fiji PM’s stance on #Fukushima waste discharge worrisome

by Shania Shayal Prasad, August 8, 2023

"Civil society organizations are urging Prime Minister #SitiveniRabuka to reevaluate his position regarding #Japan’s intentions to dispose of the #FukushimaDaiichi #Nuclear Plant’s waste into the #PacificOcean.

"Rabuka recently expressed contentment with the International Atomic Energy Agency’s report, which appeared to allay worries about potential harm to the #ocean #environment.

"#Climate activist and Pacific Conference of Churches general secretary Reverend #JamesBhagwan says that they been voicing apprehensions about this matter for several years.

"#ReverendBhagwan claims that this situation coincides with Japan’s increased development assistance to the region. Bhagwan asserts that the credibility of the #IAEA report is being contested.

"These organizations are appealing to the government to reconsider its stance and take a firmer position in advocating for the implementation of secure and sustainable solutions for handling Fukushima’s nuclear waste water."
