トリチウム放出危険

Release of tritium

Dear Friends,

There is mounting opposition against possible release of contaminated water containing tritium of Fukushima into the sea.

In March,2003,Dr.Masatoshi Oshiba (Nobel Laureate, Physicist) and Dr.Akira Hasegawa (Maxwell Prize Laureate, Former Chairman of the American Physical Society Division of Plasma Physics)sent the attached petition to  then Prime Minister Junichiro Koizumi.The dangers of tritium is stressed in the document pointing out that the 2-kilogram tritium stored in ITER could kill two million people when the tritium water leaks out to the underground water system.

I was personally involved in preparing the petition.

The international society is expected to take it seriously into consideration.
