Webinar announcement: Considerations about offshore release of Fukushima Daiichi treated cooling water

Wednesday 20th October, 10:00-12:00 (CET)

Webinar organised by SHARE, NERIS & ALLIANCE

A decade since the nuclear accident at the Fukushima Daiichi NPP, Fukushima is still setting a precedent for emergency and recovery management. In April 2021, the Japanese government announced its approval of the offshore release of water used to cool the damaged Fukushima Daiichi NPP reactors that has been accumulating in onsite storage tanks. The planned water release is raising many pressing questions regarding technical issues, radiological effects on the environment, international agreements, ethical considerations, and consequences for post-accident management.

Taking up on these questions, this webinar gathers experts from different fields including citizen scientists, radioecologists, ethicists, emergency managers, national authorities, and international organisations.

Confirmed speakers:

Ms. Yuki Tanabe, Nuclear Accident Response Office, Japan
Dr. Thierry Schneider, ICRP, CEPN, France
Prof. Jordi Vives i Batlle, SCK CEN, Belgium
Mr. Azby Brown, SAFECAST, Japan
Prof. Deborah Oughton, CERAD/NMBU, Norway
IAEA representative


The webinar will be moderated by Joke Kenens, PhD candidate and SHARE member.
