One Year Later: has Fukushima really changed the game?

The Fukushima nuclear disaster raised a whole range of fundamental questions, many of which remain to be answered. Our experts Gaëtan Girardin and Pierino Lestuzzi disscused the topic in our first "Science! On tourne" open conference.

Science! on tourne - épisode 1

The events in Japan almost one year ago remain fresh in our minds and many questions still need to be answered. Is the local population still at risk from radiation exposure? Should we expect future earthquakes similar to the one that caused the devastating tidal wave and subsequent catastrophe? Would our own nuclear power plants be able to resist a similar natural disaster? Our experts covered these topics and more during the first of our new informal seminars ‘Science, on tourne!’ on Wednesday, February 22th, at the Café Klee, Rolex Learning Center.
