Background
The British Science Association (BSA) is a registered charity that 'exists to advance the public understanding, accessibility and accountability of the sciences and engineering in the UK'.
Nuclear events
In September 2013 the BSA's Physics and Astronomy section organised a free panel discussion entitled, 'Fukushima two years on: The real story'. Those attending, it claimed, would be able to 'Find out the facts about the Fukushima incident in 2011 and implications on the future of energy generation'.
- The incident at Fukushima following the tsunami of March 2011 left behind it a trail of confusion and misinformation. Two years on, we now have the benefit of hindsight to evaluate exactly what happened and bring to you the real story of Fukushima.
The programme was as follows:
15:30 Talk: The nuclear physics of Fukushima Participants: Paddy Regan 16:00 Talk: Radiation and risk at Fukushima Participants: Steven Judge 16:30 Talk: Concerns and lessons learned from Fukushima Participants: Paul Dorfman 17:00 Questions and Answers: Discussion / questions Participants: Paul Dorfman, Paddy Regan, Steven Judge
Polling on public attitudes to nuclear power
- Nick Pidgeon, Learning the lessons of Fukushima
