Between the 9th and 15th of March 2013 a delegation from Japan will tour Australia to share first hand accounts and experiences of the Fukushima nuclear disaster that occurred following the Tsunami that devastated East Japan on March 11, 2011. Today, families continue to deal with the stress, upheaval and break down as over 150, 000 people have been forced to leave their homes, communities and businesses.
The tour will commemorate two years since the disaster occurred with public meetings and events in Melbourne, Brisbane, Sydney, Canberra and Darwin. The delegation will also visit the town of Jabiru within the bounds of Kakadu National Park to view the Ranger Uranium mine.
