Foreign activists urged Tokyo on Friday to give up its policy of exporting nuclear technology as the impact of the meltdown crisis at the Fukushima No. 1 power plant continues to ripple through Japan and other countries even after three years.
"My humble request to the Japanese and the Japanese government is please don't dump this destructive technology on people who love you," Sundarrajan Gomathinayagam, a member of the Indian environmental group Poovulagin Nanbargal, said at a news conference in Tokyo.
He made his appeal at the Foreign Correspondents Club of Japan, where he was joined by fellow antinuclear campaigners from other countries, including France and South Korea, who met five evacuees from the crisis-hit areas this week to learn about their current situation.
