The Nuclear Crisis at the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Plant Continues
The destroyed Fukushima Daiichi nuclear plant, nearly 8 years after the accident. The nuclear crisis at the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear plant continues. Nearly 1 million tons of highly contaminated water is contained in storage tanks on the site, increasing by over 4000 tons each month. The government, nuclear regulator and the IAEA all support discharging this water into the Pacific. However, the communities along the Fukushima coast, including fishery associations have made their opposition to any planned discharge of this contaminated water.
TEPCO has been admitting that more than 80 percent of the nearly 1 million tons of contaminated water contains radioactive materials – such as strontium - many tens to thousands of times above the legal limit for discharge. Its processing water processing technology ALPS has failed. Strontium is one of the most hazardous radioactive materials concentrating in the human bone and increasing the risks of cancer., The nuclear crisis at the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear plant continues.
