Government authorities in Japan have announced<\/a><\/strong><\/span> new plans to start dumping highly radioactive wastewater from the failed Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power facility directly into the Pacific Ocean.<\/span><\/p>\n

Though the amount of radiation in the water far exceeds legally-permitted levels, according to the plant\u2019s operator and documents reviewed by the U.K.\u2019s Telegraph<\/em>, there\u2019s apparently no other place to put it at the site, which is on the verge of seeing its storage capacity completely maxed out.<\/span><\/p>\n

Reports indicate that approximately 1.09 million tons of contaminated water currently being stored inside 900 tanks at Fukushima will soon be drained in the Pacific in order to make more space for new water, a move that\u2019s sparking outrage among local residents and a number of environmental organizations that worry about what the vast contamination will do to the world\u2019s largest body of water.<\/span><\/p>\n

TEPCO, Japanese government have clearly been lying about \u201csafe\u201d Fukushima wastewater<\/h2>\n

The announcement is sure to be puzzling for anyone who believes the narrative that\u2019s long been conveyed by the Tokyo Electric Power Company (TEPCO) that nuclear wastewater at the Fukushima site is \u201csafe,\u201d containing only small levels of the radioactive contaminant tritium.<\/span><\/p>\n

It also brings up questions about the repeated assurances from the Japanese government that a so-called \u201cAdvanced Liquid Processing System,\u201d or ALPS, developed by the nuclear arm of Hitachi Ltd., has been effectively removing all other radioactive materials to \u201cnon-detect\u201d levels, which doesn\u2019t seem to be the case.<\/span><\/p>\n
