On September 22, 2022, a group of the foremost nuclear and marine scientists appointed as a panel by the Pacific Island Forum released an article in the Japan Times and made it clear that, “We conclude that the present plan does not provide the assurance of safety needed for people’s health or sound stewardship of the ocean.” As a response, two organizations, Ocean Health Co-op and Mother Earth, began compiling an open letter to the Prime Minister of Japan and the Secretary General of the United Nations.
