Decision To Dump Radioactive Water From The Fukushima Nuclear Disaster Site Into The Ocean Sparks Alarm By Nevin Thompson for Natural Blaze
GNN Note – A few years ago I did a “back-of-the-napkin” equation in an attempt to wrap my head around the number of gallons of water that had already been dumped into the ocean. If you remember they were spraying ocean water, via firehoses, onto the reactors, not for hours, days or weeks. No, at least 2 years, 24/7. This water was could not have possibly been contained – entirely too much. The number I came up, once again this a few years ago, was 75 million gallons. This was based on the “official” number of tons of water that had been dumped on the reactors. It’s terrifying what these extremely evil people have done, and continue to do, to our world. #END
In mid-October, the Japanese government announced plans to dump water contaminated with radioactive isotopes from a nuclear disaster site in Fukushima, sparking alarm all over the world.
Japanese news service Kyodo reported on October 16 that the Japanese government had announced that it would authorize the release of about a million tonnes of radioactive water into the ocean from the Daiichi nuclear power installation in Fukushima prefecture.

Following the announcement, Greenpeace published a report stating the contaminated water contained “dangerous” levels of carbon-14, a radioactive isotope that can damage human DNA. Amidst concerns about the impact of the contaminated water on the environment and human health, however, some experts pointed out that it was difficult—if not impossible—to assess the true risk without knowing more about the government’s plans.
Fukushima’s economically devastated fishing sector opposes any sort of plan that includes ocean disposal, which might contaminate their catch. Japan’s maritime neighbour South Korea expressed “serious concern” as well. On the other side of the Pacific Ocean, the news alarmed some locals on Vancouver Island, on Canada’s Pacific coast, some 7,300 km from Fukushima:

Following a massive and destructive earthquake and tsunami on March 11, 2011, the Daiichi power complex on Japan’s Pacific coast, about 250 km north of Tokyo, was the site of the world’s worst nuclear accident since Chernobyl in 1986. The nuclear accident destroyed three of the four reactors at the facility, resulting in the release of radioactive materials that contaminated the surrounding communities, forcing mass evacuations.
