FUKUSHIMA TWO YEARS LATER: Global symposium to address mounting medical & ecological consequences



Highly recommended!
 Much of the information and analysis that the participants will present is new.  All of it is highly relevant to the current debate about the future of nuclear power in Japan, the U.S. and globally.
The symposium program is posted at www.helencaldicottfoundation.org. Members of the public can obtain information and register for the event online at http://www.helencaldicottfoundation.org/symposium.html
