LESS THAN an hour after north-eastern Japan was rocked by the biggest earthquake in the country’s history, in 2011, a towering tsunami crashed into the Fukushima Dai-ichi nuclear plant and triggered a triple reactor meltdown. In the decade since the disaster, water has continued to flow through the wreckage. Some 1.25m tonnes of liquid now sits in storage tanks near the reactors . But authorities are running out of space to put the stuff.
The waters are a mixture of fluids used to cool the cores of the damaged reactors, as well as ground and rainwater that constantly flow through the plant. TEPCO has tried in vain to stop the accumulation, even attempting to construct an underground ice wall to prevent water from seeping into the plant. Yet the water continues to build up at a rate of 170 tonnes per day, complicating the already devilish decommissioning process.

Since that they call it drinkable, they can just drink it.
Because the Japanese institutions have zero transparency and the shame-based culture has led to them hiding catastrophic mistakes from the public.
They think the world is too busy with the Covid 19 at the moment to deal with their release of wastewater into the ocean. The same tactics used by China. Japan the quick learner!
“the Japanese government announced it would release the wastewater into the ocean after treating it to remove most radioactive elements”
🤦♀️
Do you think this is what people really need right now?
