Tokyo Tuesday -- a plan that faces opposition at home and has raised"grave concern" in neighboring countries.
The decision to release the wastewater comes more than a decade after the nuclear disaster at the Fukushima Daiichi plant in 2011, having been repeatedly delayed due to safety concerns and strong opposition from local fishermen still reeling from the fallout of the crisis.Work to release the water into the Pacific Ocean will begin in about two years, and the whole process is expected to take decades, according to the Japanese government.
Fukushima residents still suffering as 'recovering Olympics' press ahead 04:38Tritium only"emits weak radiation" and its impact on health is"very low," the statement said, adding that operators of nuclear reactors around the world routinely discharge tritium into the sea and air.
Fukushima 10 years later: Struggles to rebuild continue 03:53"The government has been emphasizing that the decision needs to be made through transparent disclosure of information and consultations with neighboring countries.
First China and their Wuhan now Japan and this nonsense.
And the USA goverment said thanks for Japan's hard working of the nuclear water.
I would bottle it and sell it as a health product.
If this treated water is completely safe to release back into the ocean, the people in charge of the water treatment process, should be able to prove its safety by drinking some first themselves?
Tritium exists in air and water, cannot pass through even paper, and is excreted immediately after entering the body. Tritium emitted at nuclear power plants around the world Fukushima's emissions are 1/7 that of Korea, much less than that of China, others
I don't know the scientific fundamentals of this, but it sure scares me of the possible repricussions.....
Nuke them if they do!
日本人怎么不把处理后的放射性水拿来自己喝？
It’s so crazy how Japan doesn’t care about shit know
Why didn’t the Japanese government use their brains to recycle these nuclear waste waters so that they don’t have to be discharged into the sea?
Now this is 1 to be stopped.
This disaster was significantly undercovered by media. Pu239 has a half life of 24k years, cesium137, over 3 decades. These were vaporized and released into the atmosphere via hydrogen explosions. 30 gigabecquerel (GBq) of radioactive material flowed into the ocean for years.
I don't trust this at all.
Now they can kill dolphins even faster!
Place it along routes from Mexico to the US.
美国感谢日本！
Who’s gonna stop this ?
🇰🇷🇨🇳 who do not understand the scientific basis should not eat bananas 🍌 for the rest of their lives😅
Why does the US government support Japan and why does it not support Russia to discharge Cerberino
World standard🌏
Cesium has a very short half-life and is far les radioactive than most radioactive elements, such as Uranium!
Still gonna be less harmful radiation than coal.
😯
Fingures crossed, its now 100% pure😳
Absolutely disgraceful
and Biden no say even a word to such irresponsible behavior when facing the Japanese Prime Minister......
Everything is in trade for US geopolitical interest. If this is CHN, they'll definitely deliberately omit the word 'treated' to manufacture indignation towards CHN. This is how the CIA mouthpieces work.
And we are ok with this How can the rest of the world let this happen
The radioactive water was not treated well though they said that it was treated. But it is totally different. And expects said Japan needs to have communications with other countries, but it still hasn’t asked any countries to help them. It is so irresponsible.
同意俄方对于日本的处理结果 建议使用氢弹净化污染
No more sushi and cancel the visa to Japan. If anybody tell me Japan is a very clean country，i will slap his face.
So, angry mutated dolphins will get their revenge in a few years?
Yer not a good idea
We are the virus for the 🌎
If this treated water is completely safe to release back into the ocean, the people in charge of the water treatment process, should be able to prove its safety by drinking some first themselves?
CNN put this news out days ago. Has there been an update? or just nothing else to fill the gap? Give us something fresh MSNBC
Does anyone remind me when the sea dogs last fought? And when did the sea cry because a fish rebelled against it? How did it manage to escape when not outside the sea from the life of the fish 🤷♀️
Radioactive Sushi!
Why they don't drink or use it directly if as they said.?
This will affect many generations. If this water hasn’t been tested on life forms to see it’s effects then this decision should not have been made. See how many plants can grow with this treated water, see how many fish can thrive in this treated water. Stop killing the planet!
Just in case they haven’t done enough damage to the oceans. The world needs to hold Japan and China accountable for their disgusting treatment of the earth!
elenaevdokimov7 Environmental catastrophe
CCP is looking to fish there actually, now can go back to Palawan area
science But, releasing 1MmtT sounds like how many square miles? nam_mathematics Perhaps, oceanexplorer EPA might suggest natural or man made evaporation. SO, AMS_ProbStat NatGeoEducation UN How far apart one drop of evaporated 1MmtT will fall apart from each other? Perhaps
the Japan gov said the water is clear, could drink without any risk, why not the Japanese drink the water everyday.
Why are they allowed to? Why?
Great I found a place that needs water.
The Japan government says the nuclear water is harmless and drinkable. So, why do they bottle up and sell to Japanese? There is no need to dump into the international sea.
Not only on this issue, but the Japanese government ignores the opposing opinions of the majority of the people and forcefully implements what they want to do. This is no longer a democracy, this country.
What a thoughtless and stupid country Japan is to forcefully implement such a ridiculous thing when so many people are worried about this matter.
Just because an expert says, 'This is safe,' doesn't mean the anxiety will go away. What a thoughtless and stupid country Japan is to forcefully implement such a ridiculous thing when so many people are worried about this matter.
OMG😲😬
Great....more shitting in the drinking water. Nice solution to a problem. Should be criminal.
If BP needs to pay for accidently spilling oil into the Tampa, why does Japan need to pay nothing to purposefully pour contaminated water into the sea?
This seems like a bad idea
The Japanese government held a relevant cabinet meeting on the morning of April 13 and formally decided to release radioactive water from the Fukushima nuclear plant into the ocean.
美丽国“发明”的新型核讹诈：中俄若不就范，就让日本排放核污水。
Sweet can’t wait until Californians see 70% spike in cancer diagnosis and the state government recommends to avoid swimming in the pacific ocean for at least 50 years 👎
Let's ban plastic straws!!! Everyone has to do their part to save the planet!!
They will regret this after their citizens-- voracious seafood eaters--begin suffering predictable radiation poisoning.
Into the water? If it's treated then bottle it and keep it in Japan!
RIP
This should Not Be Allowed.
Animals live in the pacific do not deserve that water.
Oh no, here comes Godzilla!
Send it up into space away from earth and moon
Godzilla in the making.
This can't be a good idea.
. Intelligence is the knowledge about something and common sense is knowing to use the knowledge you have at proper place and time.
common sense is basically the good sense in practical stuffs whereas intelligence is the ability to gain knowledge and skills and apply the same when and where required.
What a sicko and irresponsible Japan!! ☠☠☠☠
It's a big ocean what could go wrong.
StopIt Japan RadioactuveWater The ocean is not your sewer, you were above the mother nature,. Be fair to all sea life & environment.
Dare not eat fish(*꒦ິ⌓꒦ີ)
Why didn't cnn report the nuclear waste water discharged from Japan?
Wouldn’t it be funny (tragic, I know) if when they dump it another tsunami would come and just bring the contaminated water back to their shore?
Horrible
Isn't this how godzilla came about
the US gov support this decision. hope every US officer can get one bottle to drink this 'well treated water'
😯
SEND IT TO MARS , 2 PROBLEMS SOLVED.
For everyone and US government who said it’s safe. Please drink it for others. No worry, it’s safe.
I can't imagine such a civilised country can perform such an uncivilised act ! Atrocious !!
Vielleicht sollte man da mal etwas einsteigen. Kann nicht sein das hier Privatpersonen sich dem Klimawandel entgegenstellen.... und da schütten sie radioaktives Wasser ins Meer...
I bet the seafood will taste real good with glowing approvals all round
paschalpanther 🔄 ❤️
SHAME ON JAPAN
Why not just keep it stored wherever it's being stored right now
I can't believe I am reading this. No! There must be a better way of dealing with the water? It should not be discharged into the ocean. Another environmental disaster.😪
Perhaps in the future, we'll power electric boats by sticking a wire in the water. FreeEnergy
If you believe it is an actual problem, don't go to a swimming pool ever again, lol.
What 😳
All the countries has nuclear power will do the same thing. Don’t blame china only in the future. Let’s destroy our world together
It' s a shame for Humanity! Please, don' t... 🙏🏻🙀😱😫😢☠️
Treated but is it safe ?
Godzila will be coming
Japan should be sanctioned by the whole world for polluting the ocean
It is appalling that the US Gov thanks the Jpn Gov for doing such an environment atrocity!
God will forgive us, right?
No!
Japan is a wicked country.
I'm proud to say I'm among the people benefiting from trading, I got another $48,700 from an investment of $6,400 all thanks to Trpescod171 Contact her now. You aren't sending money to anyone so don't be scared. Be Wise!
Japan wants people all over the world to consume nuclear waste water that pollutes raw seafood in the ocean.
Research? Just like whaling?
Sounds like a great plan
Great. Might get a new species of radioactive fish 🙄
Japan is the cancer of the earth.
Sounds like a green new deal. Thanks
