Dr Billy condemns Japan’s actions over waste dumping

Dr Billy in a statement said Japan is being very irresponsible in dumping partially treated nuclear waste in the Pacific.

“We are reminded of the events of 1946 and 1958, the United States detonated 67 nuclear bombs on, in and above the Marshall Islands — vaporizing whole islands, carving craters into its shallow lagoons and exiling hundreds of people from their homes; many have eventually died of cancer, especially thyroid cancer.
