Releasing this water into the ocean is a stupidest thing they could do. Radioactive waste does not break down in water.
@Anthony Aguilar so Japan has so much nuclear waste it doesnt know where to put it and your solution is the Atom Bomb? Are you daft?
Boss Anova send it into space. Don’t drop it in the ocean, that’s dumb af lmao.
I don’t see your country helping anything on the issue but pointing fingers
You wanna eat radioactive ☢️ fish 🐠?? 😮
@Gilgamesh how is it pointing fingers? We all know its japan.
plz stop, if we let them do, we can’t eat seafood anymore. stop japan
oh no , sushi is seafood and I like sushi
@Abdulla Mohammed Susie by the seashore.
We can eat Godzilla ninja.
No more dipping my one eyed fish in the ocean
@Rose Theis, you wanna eat radioactive ☢️ fish 🐠?? 😮
This is worse than Chernobyl. The implications reach far out Japan’s borders.
BIG A in Chernobyl after the radiation spreaded kids had extra limbs and the elderly dies which is sad and scary while Fukushima had children but if they had extra limbs then it would of been the same thing as Chernobyl
I saw a Japanese child with straight eyes….
BIG A go to sleep
This is not worse than Chernobyl moron. A China Syndrome almost happened in Chernobyl which would have affected the Earth’s mantle and core. Dumping waste into the ocean is something almost every Seaport country does. You’re just so stupid you can’t think of another point of reference other than the most recent Netflix special about Radioactive and nuclear waste, which you clearly didn’t pay attention to. Otherwise, you know the difference between Chernobyl and other nuclear disasters.
All you need to know Japan’s “Environmental” minister wants to flush radioactive isotopes into the Pacific Ocean
Do you have a better idea?
Seriously? No GODZILLA!!! comments yet? Hmmmph, the internet is getting lazy 🙁
Mowgli Hajduk 😂😂
Hey , the rest of the world says ” oh hell no” .
Says hell no, but let’s them do it anyway
You wanna eat radioactive ☢️ fish 🐠?? 😮
The Waters of the oceans of the world will become polluted with the radioactive pollution
Wow!!!! I hadn’t thought of that!! 🤯
KiTT FOXXE I hope their next bowl of sharkfin soup gives them cancer.
Polluted with pollution you say? Impossible!
It’s allready been done by USA bomb testing after WW 2. Read up on it. Also nuke waste incased in concrete. Left over chemical weaponry from war dumped in metal drums thousands of tons. Oh well as long as we ban plastic straws we will be ok.
@Crown Royal And look at what the USA has done.
Yeah just dump the toxins in the Pacific Ocean real smart Japan
The last known time radioactive waste dumping has been a 1982 in the Atlantic ocean. Near Europe.
We only dump low levels, high levels would be something new.
@The Tick Low levels that cannot be treated conventionally because it’s critically dangerous to health? If it was so low levels they wouldn’t have to worry about keeping it contained in containers.
Let them drink it.
@The Tick, you wanna eat radioactive ☢️ fish 🐠?? 😮
Japan will do whatever they want. They will preach to others on their shortcomings yet do what they want in the end.
They have the most experience surviving high radiation.
@Boss Anova
Yeah, didn’t they get nuked twice?
Your describing Europe
Why would we let them do this? Cali is already mental this will be the cherry!
Last known dumping operation was in 1982 near Europe in the Atlantic ocean.
What about cali??
@The Tick ….the ocean current will push it to their shores…0_o
There’s already a nuclear waste vault to be used as a world repository being built. All Japan has to do is sit on it for a while… and just be Zen while its being constructed.
Keep it contained and Use bog type plants to filter out the radioactive waste.
You want Godzilla? Cuz this is how you get Godzilla.
GodZirra…..🤨
@Ken Me So Turnt GodZirra
Point him at Mar-a-lago
@dogsevenfive, 😮
….Or Ninja Turtles.
For a country who’s market and culture heavily depends on fishing, I find this strange for them to do.
@Dude My mistake. Many countries nuke this planet for testing. Hydrogen was used by the Russians I believe, that one was much bigger.
@Phill G wurd, they should’ve learned from chernobyl.
The radiation gives it flavor
@X.A.N.A., you wanna eat radioactive ☢️ fish 🐠?? 😮
@X.A.N.A. it cooks it so they don’t have to eat it raw anymore
They already have been Dumping it in the Ocean come on now !
For years since the meltdown billions of gallons been free flowing into the ocean….how is this new?
I was wondering that myself.
I won’t eat fish out the pacific, may even switch to freshwater fish
Earth: *exists*
Japan: *i’m gonna end this whole man’s career*
Cough mother earth
This isn’t new…. in 2013, TEPCO admitted 300 tons (71,895 gallons/272,152 liters) of contaminated water is pouring into the sea each day.
WHY HASN’T JAPAN BEEN SUED FOR BEING
RESPONSIBLE FOR THE DEATH OF PACIFIC SEA LIFE?!
Because they don’t control earthquakes??? That’s like saying you should be killed if you’re tire pops and you hit someone. It’s not your fault that your tire popped, so why should you be killed?
@Sheev Palpatine
But if you built your radioactive tire on a fault line and it popped and kills someone you are held liable.
You really should have known better
@ENDtheFED2012 You have a point I can’t ignore. I have to admit, well said.
Why hasn’t any nations help Japan and come up with solution or aiding them? Do you remember how many died during the earthquake disaster? Greenpeace and other NGOs did nothing to help
Why not, it’s been leaking into the ocean since the accident.
There is no such thing as Trititium. Why don’t you learn how to pronounce the real word: Tritium
Zom Bee Nature It’s what you get when you react tritium with titium.
Well I’m pretty sure she’s a news reporter reading off a teleprompter and not a scientist but that’s just a guest.
Tri-titium? LOL. Is the I.Q. of everyone dropping?
It’s three atoms of titium formed into a molecule. Of course!
