Japan To Dump Nuclear
Power Plant Wastewater, Into Pacific Ocean.
The more than a million tons of wastewater comes from
the Fukushima nuclear plant that was wrecked
by the devastating tsunami in 2011.
The government of Japan announced
the decision via a statement.
On the premise of strict compliance with
regulatory standards that have been established,
we select oceanic release, Japanese Government, via NPR.
According to NPR, the wastewater
has been treated but it
remains radioactive.
Release of the wastewater will
occur over the course of decades, beginning in two years.
An area around the Fukushima plant is still uninhabitable.
Decommission of the plant will continue for decades.
Environmental and fishing industry groups called
the decision "undemocratic", saying that it will further
devastate fishing catches in the surrounding area.
Neighboring nations such as China also referred
to the decision as "extremely irresponsible."
