Fukushima: never again

First anniversary of the Fukushima Catastrophe

One year after the disaster of Fukushima it is time to analyse its profound consequences, both, in Japan, but also in the rest of the world. With the help of experts from Japan we will assess the situation on site and in the region around the Fukushima reactors.

We are especially honoured that the former governor of the Fukushima prefecture Eisaku Sato agreed to hold a keynote speech to share his insights regarding the disaster and its consequences with us.
