Roche to attend Fukushima disaster ceremony

A group of Japanese businessmen have invited the founder of Chernobyl Children International, Adi Roche, to take part in high-profile ceremonies to mark the anniversary of the Fukushima nuclear disaster.

Ms Roche is the only representative from a Chernobyl-related organisation to be asked to travel to Japan for the anniversary.

She will attend commemoration ceremonies on the perimeter of the exclusion zone Saturday week. She will also enter the contaminated zones and visit the Hiroshima and Nagasaki memorial sites.
