Concern spreads throughout the world as Japan prepares to dump radioactive water from Fukushima into the oceans

Japan is drawing criticism from nations around the world because it intends to release processed radioactive water garbage into the oceans after receiving formal approval from the UN’s nuclear authority.

At the nuclear power plant in Fukushima Daiichi, clean water was left lying. The choice complies with the International Atomic Energy Agency’s (IAEA) safety regulations, which the organization has approved.

12 years ago, a significant earthquake shook northeastern Japan. The strongest earthquake to ever strike the nation occurred on March 11, 2011, and it was followed by a tsunami that triggered an explosion at the Fukushima nuclear power facility. On the International Nuclear and Radiological Incident Scale, the catastrophic incident received a rating of seven, the same as the Chernobyl accident in 1986.

Since several years have passed, the wastewater dumping plan has not yet been implemented. According to CNN, Japan’s environment minister stated that the country had “no alternative options” except to dump the polluted water into the ocean due to a lack of productive land.
