Posted on May 25, 2011

Matthew Penney, an assistant professor in the Department of History, co-authored an op-ed about the Japanese nuclear crisis for the online journal, Global Research. He states: “As the nature of the Fukushima crisis relative to Chernobyl continues to be contested, the important issue of radiation exposure of Fukushima school children remains at the center of public debate. To date, the Japanese government has failed to respond effectively to critics of policies that pose long-term risks to the nation’s children.”
