Mario Damato, executive director of Greenpeace East Asia, talked on the organization's flagship Rainbow Warrior at Incheon Port that Korea should stop developing nuclear power plants citing worst ever Japan's nuclear accident. Greenpeace monitored radiation on both sea and land for about two months near the earthquake-stricken Fukushima nuclear power plant in Japan. They discovered the radiation levels of sampled marine life, vegetables and soil were much higher than official limits, raising serious concerns about continued long-term risk to people and the environment from contamination. Greenpeace will visit potential nuclear plant sites and do the anti-nuclear energy campaign until June21. Source: The Korea Times, International Herald Tribune |
