Japan plans to release water that was contaminated in the 2011 Fukushima nuclear disaster into the Pacific Ocean.
A team of inspectors from the International Atomic Energy Agency has been assessing the safety of the plan.
Al Jazeera’s @Rob McBride reports from Seoul, South Korea.

Ignore the clickbait headlines, the water released will be treated and will actually contain less radioactive material than the ocean water it's joining.
I do 5 presentations a week on Fukushima and research expedition each year for months , you can see them on my site and playlist , Fukushima is a major event .
Ten trillion grains of sand turns into a beach. I wonder what happens with all the "legal amounts" of lethal chemicals we put into our water systems?
these nuclear plants affect dna. affects generations. this is going to contaminate their fish suppliesand the sea life itself, utterdisgrce japan DONT BUILD THINGS that are dangerous for our planet thatharms all life. governments dont give a dmn about people on the planet oreco systems, wildlifem sealife, birdlife
its NOT PERFECTLY SAFE thhe world has been affected by this. they should have had plans in place for disasters to protect our oceans it affected all way to usa. on cali beaches hadhigh radiation after it for many months
Distant Godzilla Sounds
Cancer in Animals and in Humans. Straight back.
NO ! JUST NO ! 🤕
japan is doing truly criminal damages
58 uSv on that sign…. u can feel your balls falling off if u stay enough
“Scientists will monitor the water..” and do what, exactly, if the results are very bad?
All over the world, nuclear facilities are releasing tritium into air or seas.
La Hague (France, 2015): 13,700,000,000,000,000 Bq
Sellafield (UK, 2015): 1,540,000,000,000,000 Bq
Wolsong (Korea, 2016): 52,000,000,000,000 Bq
Fuqing NPP (China, 2020): 52,000,000,000,000 Bq (liquid) and 800,000,000,000 Bq (steam)
Sanmen NPP (China, 2020): 20,000,000,000,000 Bq (liquid) and 400,000,000,000 Bq (steam)
Under the Japan plan, Fukushima will release 860,000,000,000,000 Bq of tritium over 30 years or more (at most 22 TBq per year). The tritium concentration of the water is lowered to 1/7 or less of the WHO drinking water quality standard.
Radioactive elements other than tritium from Fukushima are sufficiently removed by ALPS treatment under the IAEA standards. IAEA support that clearly.
Why only Japan cannot emit tritium? That's so unfair.
If you deny IAEA, you should show the scientific basis.
Incoming tentacle raping monsters☻
When I visit Japan I will see fish walking on land!
Why doesn't japan drink it if it's safe.
That's when I will stop eating in Japanese restaurant
Godzilla is coming!
What if it's china or russia who's doing this . Definitely whole world will object . Now it's Japan and the usa is not objecting .
Just HOW treated is that stored water
Wtf
What's happen with Japanese ?
Whoever keeps the commandment keeps life,
but whoever despises the word of exhortation dies.
Japan is ruled by environmental terrorists. F u Japan 🗾
Godzilla says thank you to Japan.
Many people will die from this unprofessional doings..beware of eating fishes from the ocean
Bro china korea are you cool with this come on this evil 😈
Humans suck
No 👎👎👎
Japanese has higher tolerance level of nuclear material.
This will REALLY come back to haunt us.
If it is so "safe" release it into Japan's groundwater and see how the Japanese react to that !!!!…
