Open Learning Highlight ─

The devastating 3.11 Japan earthquake had led to subsequent radiation leaks in Fukushima area that scared the rest of the world. Two years have passed, Fukushima survivors still live in the shadow of nuclear disaster. What lessons have we learnt from the Fukushima nuclear accident? Does the HKSAR government have any contingency measures to deal with similar types of crises occurring at the Daya Bay nuclear plant which is just a stone's-throw away from us?

The Open Learning Platform presents a video of the summit entitled 'Nuclear Power Panic? The Society's Response of the Disaster and Crisis' and a free course material on Geology and Geomorphology of Hong Kong to help you better understand the pros and cons of using nuclear energy in Hong Kong.
