In this episode of ‘Meet a Columban’, Fr Jim Mulroney speaks to Fr Paul McCartin about his missionary life in Japan since 1979. They also discuss the human and ecological impacts of nuclear and other disasters in Japan, as well as Japan’s relationship with America.
Fr Paul explains how some nuclear power plants in Japan are built directly above earthquake faultlines even though earthquakes are very common in Japan. Yet the government and the regulatory bodies have allowed this risky policy to continue.
