DESCRIPTION:What:  The Berkeley Peace and Justice Commission invites the public to an 
 educational roundtable to address the question, "Fukushima nuclear waste 
 release: Is it safe?"  The public will hear from scientists, environmental 
 experts, and health professionals as the world faces, for the first time 
 ever, the planned  release of 31,000 tons of contaminated water into the 
 Pacific Ocean by March, 2025, and then more releases over the next 40 
 years.  This is an in-person event. * \n         \nSelected Speakers 
 include: \nDr. Tatsujiro Suzuki, former vice chairman of Japan's Atomic 
 Energy Commission and now a member of the Advisory Board of Parliament's 
 Special Committee on Nuclear Energy  \nDr. Arjun Makhijani, President of 
 the Institute for Energy and Environmental Research and member of the 
 Pacific Islands Forum Independent Expert Panel on TEPCO's Fukushima 
 radioactive water dumping proposals\nDr. Katsumi Furitsu, a radiation 
 specialist working with impacted people in Fukushima\nActivist and 
 environmentalist Jackie Cabasso, Executive Director of Western States Legal 
 Foundation\nDr. Robert Gould, President of San Francisco Bay Physicians for 
 Social Responsibility\nDaniel Hirsch, retired Director, Program on 
 Environmental and Nuclear Policy, UC Santa Cruz; President, Committee to 
 Bridge the Gap, a nuclear policy NGO\n\nOn July 11, 2023, the Berkeley City 
 Council did not support a proposed "Resolution Opposing Tokyo Electric 
 Power Company and the Government of Japan's Planned Discharge of Wastewater 
 from Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant into the Pacific Ocean".  Since 
 then, Japan has released radioactive wastewater from the damaged Fukushima 
 Nuclear Plant into the Pacific Ocean twice.  The roundtable will extend the 
 conversation from the City Council meeting by providing a panel of experts 
 and a forum for representative community, faith, and political action 
 groups to speak. \n* Some presenters will appear by pre-recorded video from 
 other parts of the world.\n\nFree\n
