Following an explosion that rocked a nuclear plant in quake- and tsunami-devastated Japan, a science advocacy group urged the Philippine government on Saturday to take steps to protect Filipinos from possible environmental effects of the incident.
The Advocates of Science and Technology for the People (AGHAM), which made the call, also said the incident should make proponents of reviving the Batanes Nuclear Power Plant (BNPP) think twice.
“Japan should issue a full disclosure of the status of their nuclear plants and immediately implent protocols to contain the potential meltdown," AGHAM chairperson Giovanni Tapang said in a statement posted on the group's website.
“The affected communities should be protected and nearby countries such as the Philippines should also ready in case the emissions affect our surroundings," Tapang added.
