Oppose Nuclear Waste on Japan's Coast

The Rokkasho Nuclear Waste Reprocessing Plant, located along the coast in Rokkasho Village, Aomori Prefecture, Japan, is about to become fully operational in February 2008. A single day's radiation discharge is estimated to be the equivalent of what is produced at a typical nuclear power plant during an entire year.  The publicly announced  plan for the discharge is to release it into the atmosphere and into the ocean about three kilometers offshore, threatening the safety of the food supply, people’s lives and the lives of future generations.

To this end, Surfrider Foundation has started a petition drive against the operation of Rokkasho Nuclear Waste Reprocessing Plant and against the possible discharge of radiation into the atmosphere and the ocean. We would be grateful for your support.
