Because irradiated water needs to be stored away safely until it can be treated. You can't just keep recycling irradiated water over and over again without proper treatment to remove the radiation.
Japan should show us that households, agriculture and domestic factories use the water from ALPS as a promotion. Then all these debates and argues will disappear. People are busy and no time to study for this. We have so many issues around us. Just show us it is totally safe and any reports, any lectures from experts are NO required. All reports, experts already got contaminated by NOT Nuclear but Politics. I just want to see it is safe with my own eyes. And that's it.
That's a lot of expensive infrastructure for a publicity stunt. I say the release the water then sue the pants off them if it proves to have an environmental impact. Spoiler alert, it won't have an impact at all and a year from now all this will be forgotten. The real test/concern is to ensure they keep the high purity standards for the entire decommissioning.
If you want a summary of this video in a few words: The common people who have not read the studies are concerned. The science shows it is safe. In other words, what the Japan and other agencies have shown, is that it is safe. But did you come to that conclusion from the video? If not, then was it because you skipped the parts where officials were speaking?
Latest update : As at 27/10/23, the 2 staffs with high radioactive readings on their naked bodies due to direct exposure to the waste water, even though they were wearing full protective clothing were still "hospitalise". TEPCO remained quiet about the follow-up investigations of the accident. Another cover up ?
@@danadurnfordkevinblanchdebunk To you, the lives of 2 unfortunate persons were just a meme ( sigh ). At least the "incident" was serious enough for the Taiwan international news media to discuss about it. The silence of TEPCO to the international community is loud.

Such a fabricated story and you believed that. LOL....Try listening to scientist instead of anti -Japanese weirdos in your country which would be either China or Korea. LOL...
It'll be beneficial and insightful for the viewer if CNA bring several samples water from sea and river then test it at independent lab. Not just interview.
You are 100% right. And there is no proof that the water is worst off. This is just propaganda and fear. When you talk to nuclear scientists, they all say this is safe.
If it is so safe, those people who are involving in the decision should make it their drinking water or use it for their own farmand, not releasing it into the sea, and make their neighbors to have them as well.

On 25/10/23 ( Wednesday ) 11.10 am, 5 staffs from Fukushima nuclear plant were exposed to "treated water from nuclear core liquid waste".

So how would you propose to hold all water in the ocean until it's no longer radioactive? Since all water that ever existed on the planet is indeed radioactive, you should have never eaten anything in your entire life.
you are so terribly brainwashed by thepropoganda. how can naturally radioactive water compare with artifical radioactive water in terms of concentration? it is unbelievably ignorant for you to be so convinced that this nuclear waste water is safe! what is your judgement based on?your trust in the news? @@danadurnfordkevinblanchdebunk
We are discussing 1.3 million tonnes of Fukushima water, which is probably going to collect along other countries' shorelines. Few generations down the road, if discovered massive death was due to such incident, no one is going to take responsibility because these careless people won't be around by then. Why not use this safe water for factory operations, car washes, gardening, etc. rather than discharging it into the ocean? It just goes to demonstrate how their internal recycling process was impeded by their anxiety and uncertainty, which led them to discard the Fukushima water into the ocean. Nobody ask the Mayor or TEPCO such question.
Then why doesn't your country use the tritiated water you release for factory operations, car washes, gardening, etc. rather than discharging it into the ocean? All nuclear power plants on the planet have always released the same tritiated water and nothing in world history has ever been harmed by this practice.
It's water in the ocean. It's not going to collect anywhere. It circulates around the entire planet and the radioactivity is gonna be so diluted it won't make a difference. 1.3 million tonnes is nothing compared to the 352 quintillion gallons of water already in the ocean.
@@lingth And all their nuclear navy, this is what they do all the time. They don't have tankers following the carriers and subs to hold their waste water. And their isn't any perceptible effects of all this release from all the nuclear navies. Also I don't even want to think about what the USSR submarines effluent was like, but for all I know it could be cleaner than the USA navy.
I like the tough fisherman and strong cattle farmer. Well done...hope to see more about this very important topic. Here in USA Bill Gates is trying to build many nuclear plants and there is very little in the news about it.
From what I've read, Gates is building nuclear plants based on Small Modular Reactor (SMR) technology. These plants are purportedly much safer, scalable, and maintenance friendly.
Can anyone undo the adverse effects later on people around? They have already admitted that there are radioactive substances in the water but just claimed that "it is treated and safe according to standards". Standards are only "best known parameters" suggested by the so-called experts now. Can they guarantee? Or just have lines of fine print disclaiming responsibilities to cover themselves. Who will bear the responsibility for the victims affected by these radioactive waters after 5 or 10 years? If it is so safe and harmless, all these "Safe radioactive water" should be reused by TEPCO and, especially the politicians in Japan and not continuously releasing tonnes of radioactive contaminants to the world. Japanese politicians are irresponsible by forcing the world to take a hazardous risk that may affect the generations to come.
Water wa scheduled to be released in 2023, the plan was mooted in 2016 and countriees had a right of appeal. IAEA gave its thumbs up and China top nuclear scientist is the deputy director of IAEA and did not object. This is a smear campaign by little pinks.
Why don't you complain when Chinese nuclear power plants release higher levels of contamination than what Japan is releasing? Oh yeah, the CCP just ordered a stop to the regular release of data. LOL...
just be transparent and allow international scientist to conduct lab test and their findings, this is to reestablish confidence to the general public, dont hold anything back is the key to regain trust.
If TEPCO chose to keep quiet about the "treated water" incident on 25/10/23, that led to 2 staffs been sent to hospital due to high radiation readings on their naked bodies, despite wearing full protective clothing after being exposed directly to the "treated water", it would not be transparent in anything regarding the "treated water from melted nuclear core liquid waste".
@@DreamyCheshire-up9rf "Four workers were cleaning the piping when a drainage hose suddenly came off. They were splashed with the tainted liquid waste, which was not the wastewater running inside the system.

None have shown any health issues, according to plant operator Tokyo Electric Power Company Holdings, or TEPCO. "
If the Japanese Government is 100 % confident with the water's safety, use the water domestically. If people from the rest of the country support their act as well, take a flight to Japan and import their seafood to show your support.
Idk if u know this, but normal reactor core cooling water contains more tritium than this Fukushima waste treated water. Yet countries around the world dumps it into the ocean, claiming that tritium is safe when diluted. So the question comes, would you allow nuclear plants in your own country use the cooling water for agriculture?
@@Junispro31 Tritium comes from nature daily in greater quantities than man could ever produce, so yes agriculture all over the world has always been watered with tritiated water.
You avoid the main issue, when are we going to stop future dumping of everybody's nuclear contaminated into the sea after this precedence Can you ask say Iran or Korea or US not to dump similar kind of contaminants into the sea as fter this?
If they wanted to why would they wait for Japan or anybody else's permission beforehand? Your logic makes no sense, they are not forced to not dump it because nobody has done it before, they're not doing it because they haven't wanted or needed to yet.

@@shencheanglow3726 Many other countries with nuclear reactors, such as China, Russia, France etc, have been releasing tritiated water into the ocean for decades. I don’t see anyone complaining in the past decades?
The water is likely extra clean for now because of all the worldwide and local scrutiny. But Fukushima needs to do this non-stop for 30+ years! With the way most nuclear projects go, it may take well longer than their 30-year timeline for full clean up and likely end up costing billions of dollars more than budgeted - all while producing *0 watts* of power. This Fukushima waste water needs high levels of cleaning since it was *directly* exposed to the radioactive core of Fukushima reactors #1 thru #3. So it will contain Strontium-90 with *β radiation* and Cesium-137 with even more harmful *gamma* radiation. The IAEA is said to be doing regular monitoring and let's hope they're ever vigilant on their Solom duty.
There is always around 3400 grams of naturally occurring tritium in the earth‘s atmosphere as it is constantly being produced by cosmic radiation interacting with the upper atmosphere. Most of those 3400 grams are in the earth‘s oceans. The water in Fukushima only contains 2-3 grams of tritium so releasing it all at once would have no measurable impact.
@@danadurnfordkevinblanchdebunk I was not referring to tritiated water. My post was concerned about the _potential_ of _much more_ radioactive isotopes of Strontium-90 and Cesium-137 escaping. That could potentially happen if there any lapses in measurement at the worst time over such a long 30+ years period of wastewater release. And we just have to take IAEA word on it. Unless there are continuous independent monitoring also.
@@beyondfossil The water in those tanks has already been treated and the full report called, IAEA Review of Safety Related Aspects of Handling ALPS-Treated Water at TEPCO’s Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Station, First Interlaboratory Comparison on the Determination of Radionuclides in ALPS Treated Water clearly shows there is no concern for any isotope, not even tritium.
@@danadurnfordkevinblanchdebunk Sure, but those 1061 wastewater tanks will soon be completely *emptied* out into the ocean. My concern is still the decades long non-stop process of releasing treated wastewater into the ocean. It needs to be done without any mistakes.

@@danadurnfordkevinblanchdebunk The problem is probably the tritium that South Korea is discharging into the Sea of Japan. The tritium being washed away by Fukushima will follow ocean currents to the United States. However, it cannot even be detected in the ocean 20km away from Fukushima.

@@イチエフ I have NEVER "made a fuss" about the tritium that all nuclear power plants release. It is you by claiming that since debris/boats will wash ashore to the US that the Fukushima water does as well which is diluted millions of times further, even testing safe right at the plant.

What scares me is what they are not telling us and just how bad the situation rely is .What happened in Germany with Chernobyl disaster has left that part of the world radiated and unsafe for human habitation for at least the next 1000 years and mutated the wild life in just a few short decades . So wye is the aftermath of Daiichi downplayed in its severity because both are the same kind of reactors and tech Fukushima wont be safe to live in for century's just like Pripyat and the fact they are all ready dumping Nuclear wastewater back into the Pacific will most likely make sea food from the ocean unfit for consumption .In reality tow thirds of what we used to call the Civilized world are now living in radiated depravity and slowly dying away .The western side of the world is all that is for now still healthy and safe to live in .
Because its not that harmful (chinas own nuclear reactor actually are dirtier and makes nearby water so too) and also transporting the water or using it to drink is a pointless exercise cause the moving of said water and the filtering plus desalination (if for drinking) would ultimately cause more pollution and cost tons of money just to prove a bunch of crazies wrong. If you still think theres long term damage, then you may as well be anti nuclear which is a whole other debate.
because it is save and it is saltwater. Where do you want to store so much salt water forever. There is no issue here other than "I don't understand so its bad"
In fact, the water released was so harmless one could use the water in the tanks for drinking water with ZERO risk of any harm from the trivial amounts of radiation in it. Note that there is no recorded case in history of anyone being harmed by the feeble radiation from tritium... and this despite tons of it being made for use in thermonuclear weapons. I'm a physician who has personally studied all of the major examinations of biological effects of radiation on humans conducted over the last 100 years, and much of the discussion of same. I'm also trained in the sciences... at Harvard. The tales told by hysterical liars such as Greenpeace of danger from that water are 100.00% entirely falsehood. It's hardly surprisoing that those here allgeing there was some threat from the water neglect to mention their medical and scientific qualifications... either in general or more importantly with respect to issues of biological effects of radiation on humans. Hysterical and entirely baseless fear of radiation is the norm, thanks to the hundreds of millions spent per year by the fossil fuel companies, in part, who know that only nuclear power poses a threat to the continued dependence on their products. And thanks to contemptibly fake and fraudulent "environmentalists" who, either paid off by the fossil fuel companies (as was the case with the Sierra Club and NRDC) or simply from massive dogma and faith-based ignorance oppose nuclear power and baselessly fear radiation. Note I have all my life been a (far) leftist, a fighter for social justice, for free medical care for all, and for extensive and sound management of public health, and vocal when there are REAL public health threats (such as those from lead paint, and lead and other toxins in the water in Flint and elsewhere). Deadly to effective efforts to improve public health is the dissemination of hysterical lies, such the radio-phobic hysteria about the harmless water in those tanks at Fukushima, or the (entirely totally harmless) trivial amounts of radiation released by US above ground low yield nuclear bomb testing in Utah and Nevada, or insane hysterical claims of harm from the totally trivial and harmless amounts of radiation released after the Three Mile Island and Fukushima accidents. Radiation is basically harmless, for near all intents and purposes and real world situations, but FEAR of it is massively deadly: 2000 people died in Japan due to a totally needless rapid evacuation of the area around the Fukushima accident, despite the UN World Health Organization AND an independent research team that published in Nature (one of the most respected peer-reviewed journals of science and medicine) which found that so little radioactive Cesium 137 and Strontium 90 (the two main potentially problematic isotopes) was released in the Fukushima melt downs that there was ZERO chance of any increased risk of cancer or other disease to ANYONE... even one living a kilometer from the accident. But people in intensive care units were evacuated, stacked up in high school gyms, and DIED by the hundreds, in hysterical and deadly reaction to fear of NON EXISTENT danger from radiation. In western Europe, 100,000 to 200,000 women elected to have abortions for otherwise wanted pregnancies when they heard criminally irresponsible news reports of a "plume of radiation" wafting over toward them from Chernobyl. There WAS a "plume" of radiation that DID waft over... but the levels of radiation in it were a fraction of normal background radiation. THAT the news did not mention. Pregnant survivors of the Hiroshima and Nagasaki bombings received 1000 to 10,000 and more times the dose of radiation of that people exposed to the Chernobyl "plume" got. Their new born babies were found to have NO higher level any issues that could even remotely be related to radiation exposure than a control group of similar folks who were not exposed to the bomb's radiation. These babies... and their mothers... were followed for FIFTY YEARS, medically, and compared to the control group, and over all that time there was NO greater prevalence or incidence of any medical issue that could remotely be related to radiation exposure. Again: Radiation is for near all intents and purposes ENTIRELY harmless to humans (at worst). But hysterical and ignorant fear of it is HUGELY deadly.
How is it that radiation poisoning can cause death in humans if radiation is "ENTIRELY harmless" to humans? How is it that there are multiple harmful effects from radiation in humans (including death) and something called acute radiation syndrome if radiation is "ENTIRELY harmless" to humans? How is it that even too much UV radiation from the sun can damage the DNA in human skin cells which can lead to skin cancer and nearly 20 Americans die each day from Melanoma and 7,650 deaths were attributed to Melanoma in 2022 if radiation is "ENTIRELY harmless" to humans? Why is it that the people evacuated from Pripyat were told three days, but decades later still not allowed to return due to high levels of radiation? How is it that the Liquidators (clean up crew) could only remove radioactive materials from the roof of the reactor for 2-3 minutes because of such high radiation if radiation is "ENTIRE:Y harmless" to humans, yet with all of the protection they used, radiation sickness still occurred? How is it that cancer rates and birth defects rose drastically in the area after the meltdown if radiation is "ENTIRELY harmless" to humans? How is it that the Russian soldiers that occupied the Chernobyl area during the first few month of invading Ukraine got radiation sickness from digging in radioactive soil if radiation is "ENTIRELY harmless" to humans? Why is it that the people of Bikini Atoll still can't return to their homes due to such high levels of radiation, and fishing not allowed in the area due to high levels of radiation in the waters and fish if radiation is "ENTIRELY harmless" to humans? Are scientists & governments telling lies about how UNSAFE radiation is and/or can be? Is it the scientists and governments causing this "hysterical and ignorant fear" by telling people that is it harmful (especially in high doses) and can be deadly?
@@wildwolfwind6557 It only begins to be harmful past a certain level. There is always around 3400 grams of naturally occurring tritium in the earth‘s atmosphere as it is constantly being produced by cosmic radiation interacting with the upper atmosphere. Most of those 3400 grams are in the earth‘s oceans. The water in Fukushima only contains 2-3 grams of tritium so releasing it all at once would have no measurable impact.
@@ForbiddTV Are you referring to tritium at certain levels or radiation overall? When a person says radiation is ENTIRELY harmless, it is incorrect. Radiation poisoning is a thing and radiation sickness is a thing because radiation exposure in high doses or with prolonged exposure can cause problems including death as has happened in the past. If it wasn't the case, why do they wear the special suits to work near the radioactive material? There are more types of radiation than just tritium. Tritium is much safer than other radiation, yes, but the other radiation (the 99% being removed) isn't as safe is it? Otherwise why would they need their special suits and why would they feel the need to remove the other 99% of the radioactive material? Where does the unsafe 99% go? Does it just magically vanish? And if radiation is so harmless, why do people fear nuclear weapons being used? and not the the explosiveness of the nuclear weapons, but fallout. Why is it people would fear something that is said to be ENTIRELY harmless, like nuclear fallout?
@@wildwolfwind6557 Everything on the planet is and always has been radioactive. Life on this planet would not exist without radiation. No one was injured by Fukushima radiation and the areas bombed in WWII are thriving communities today. An unfounded fear of radiation just because you are taught to fear it isn't logical.
Desalination would require more energy which would ultimately pollute and cost more money just to prove crazies wrong. Desalination also has its own problems as well. Plus lots of other nuclear plants in certain other countries are dirtier (of which the water around em too are )but those arent mentioned funny enough.
Five Questions Raised by Chinese Representatives at the World Health Assembly: If the Fukushima nuclear-contaminated water is safe, why doesn't Japan keep it for its own use? Why doesn't Japan use the "safe" nuclear-contaminated water for domestic agriculture and manufacturing? If the Fukushima nuclear-contaminated water is safe, why doesn't Japan discharge it into its domestic lakes? Is discharging nuclear-contaminated water into the sea the only viable option? What will be the long-term global impact of discharging nuclear-contaminated water into the sea?
The focus of this water release is on Tritium because the other contaminants have already been removed from the water. As tritium water and normal water cannot be easily distinguished and separated, thus why tritium contaminated water is released .
If the water is so clean and even drinkable as Japan has claimed, then how about pouring this "clean" water to your water utility system and let your citizens drink it? BTW: Looks like most western countries are basically silent about this. If the same thing happens on China, how would Japan (and those western countries) react? Western countries accuse China of their "uncontroilled" rocket debris threating lives and damaging environment, but allow Japan to dump radioactive water to the ocean. Double standard!
The Qinshan nuclear plant in the eastern Zhejiang Province discharged around 218 trillion becquerels of tritium in 2021, roughly 10 times the maximum annual release set for the Fukushima water at 22 trillion becquerels, according to the data from a yearbook on the Chinese nuclear power industry.8 Aug 2023
Tokyo Electric Power Company (TEPCO) has reported the presence of radioactive substances such as Cesium (Cs)-137, Strontium (Sr)-90, Cobalt (Co)-60, etc., at levels ranging from 0.1 to 1 becquerels per liter (Bq/L). It's important to note that there is no mention of radioactive materials contained in nuclear fuels, such as Uranium and Plutonium. Strontium-90 is a radioactive isotope that chemically resembles calcium. Consequently, during the intake of calcium by living organisms, Strontium-90 may be inadvertently absorbed. Strontium-90, in particular, has a tendency to accumulate in the bones of living organisms. Furthermore, there is a possibility of Strontium-90 being biomagnified through the food chain. Specifically, when plankton absorbs water containing Strontium-90, there is a potential for the accumulation of Strontium-90 in fish and other organisms that consume the plankton. Strontium-90 absorbed into the body emits radiation, posing a potential risk of exposure to tissues sensitive to radiation, such as bone marrow, which may have implications for health.
Not just there but also the whole Pacific and the South China Sea is already highly radioactive. I think all our oceans and seas are already radioactive! And all of them are highly polluted!
The most perfect way is for the Japanese government have to declare that it will no longer discharge water into the sea, then just silently and quickly discharge it because anyway they have to treat that water in the future.
The other increases include water price by an astounding 30%, carpark fees by 27%, town council S&CC, ERP rates, electricity and gas tariffs, university fees, and kindergarten and childcare centre rates. Soon to follow will be the introduction of a sugar tax and carbon tax. Not satisfied, the PAP will increase the GST from the current 7% to 9%.
The water samples are taken and given/tested by the Japanese. There is some trust issue here. The refusal of sampling & testing by external parties like those from Korean and Chinese speak the volume of objectivity of the whole process. IAEA only tested sample provided by the Japanese, and they haven't issued any statement about the safety of sea water after the release of the contaminated water. CNA, why did you avoid looking into what Korean and Chinese concerns.
You could have read the full report before spreading false information. Seven countries have tested the water. South Korea is one of them. China refused to participate since they need the propaganda potential.

Every country with nuclear power plants discharges triated water and have been doing so as long as nuclear power plants have existed. And the amount discharged annually in Fukushima is actually less than normal nuclear power plant discharges annually.
All nuclear power plants release the same tritiated water. Japan has spent more money than any other nuclear power plant in this water release in the history of nuclear power.
Can you not pull out the strontium 90 and sell it to a space program? Donate the ceasium 137 for cancer treatments? It must be very difficult to separate all that material, maybe too time consuming and resource intensive? Each country could help out so that we don’t do things like this to ourselves and our children, to our homes. Sorry no one tried to help you with all this Japan! 😔
when I first learned of this disaster. My immediate concern was over the nuclear waste water being dumped into the pacific ocean. I was raised, eating wild Pacific coast salmon which is one of the world's best seafood delicacies. I have seen a disastrous change in the quality of our salmon shortly after the Fukushima nuclear disaster. Earlier documentaries about the Fukushima disaster revealed that there was over 300 million tons of nuclear contaminated waste leaking from hastily built steel holding tanks. I learned that the japanese workers at the nuclear plant sacrificed their own lives in efforts to keep the nuclear reactors cooled in efforts to prevent a meltdown. The 2011 earthquake and tsunami was unpredictable and unprecedented and the reality of such a disaster of such a great magnitude was virtually impossible to prevent this type of disaster. I was livid and furious when I first learned of this disaster. I haven't kept up with the incident over the last few years because my anger was causing backlashes at my japanese/ canadian friends who I was taking my anger out on. Then I came to the realization that it was not their fault that this happened. The amount of nuclear pollution in the pacific ocean is believed to last possibly for the next 750 years or longer. Some of my friends and family have mentioned that our Pacific coast salmon are showing signs of nuclear poisoning and various types of cancers are increasing around my home region and along much of the pacific coast of the United States and Canada. Right away since the 2011 disaster in japan, I pointed blame directly to the Fukushima nuclear disaster of 2011

The thing is, this is total hypocrisy. It is almost impossible to differentiate the various cesium-137, strontium-90, "insert fission byproduct here", etc. contamination from sea water. Also the tritium contamination itself is negligible since it's not easily absorbed by humans and is already present in greater quantities in various parts of the world without any affect on human lives. The amount of contaminated water released by France each year equals to 500x times the amount released by Tepco during the process. The contamination from nuclear tests in the ocean contaminated the oceans for years to come, and has already affected billions of humans lives. Trace amount of plutonium-239 can be found is humans who never got near the ocean.
To be Truthful No one knows the long term affects of Nuclear accidents and storage this is Pandora’s Box these are small warnings so we can seek other ways & means
We most certainly do know the "long term affects" of this water release. The nuclear power industry has been releasing the same tritiated water regularly for over seven decades.
This is why nuclear power, certainly in its present form is just not viable, that is not to say nuclear energy research should stop, but reactors that melt down if cooling pumps fail are just crazy.
Wow that 'expert' sounds very positive about there being minimal effects from Fukushima water release. Maybe Insight should have had a second 'expert' opinion to balance his views.
No bio accumulation. Because of the role of hydrogen in metabolism and its ubiquitousness in the environment, organisms have not evolved mechanisms to accumulate or concentrate hydrogen or its isotopes in food chains. Therefore, biomagnification of tritium is not a factor in food chain transfer.
1 what can they do if the tank full?, 2 if they don't produce nuclear product Japan will no Electric to use, 3 Tritium has every where in the whole world, 4 what the whole world will help Japan or not about this thing? 5 we are humanity no matter where we are live , what are we going to do with this things problem?. ?????? .
... so what was the result of the farmer fish test? it is the only independent testing result. why not show the result as well? everyone wanted to compare tepco result of 10 Bq/L with the farmer fish.
@@Shion0Hibiki The report is not from the Japanese Government, nor is it from TEPCO. One of the countries 'protesting' the release was South Korea which backfired on them since they had to admit the water was safe to release after they tested their samples.
@@Shion0Hibiki Read, IAEA Review of Safety Related Aspects of Handling ALPS-Treated Water at TEPCO’s Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Station, First Interlaboratory Comparison on the Determination of Radionuclides in ALPS Treated Water, before making further uneducated comments.
@@danadurnfordkevinblanchdebunk Like I have said the six nation you talk about is in bed with Japan. South Korea Government is one of them. South Korean people are the one that fighting for stopping the release, not their government.
NOW ? , NOW YOU DEMAND AMERICA PAY FOR THE SHONKY PLUTONIUM THEY SOLD! A SPLIT PLUTONIUM ROD MEANS THEY TRANSPORTED IT BEFORE IT HAD ACHIEVED CRYSTALLINE STABILITY! 185.185' days for it to find stability! **GOD**
First of all the sea water used to cool the out of control nuclear chain reaction was never captured and put in tanks, only a small amount was. This is an on going disaster.
@@toerag1242 No you're silly, maybe you are demented. You can't spell either, two wrong in just one sentence. Your computer has spell check, use it, and figure out how that caps lock button works.
Yeah. Especially TEPCO claimed that the "treated cooling water from the melted nuclear core liquid waste" was safe, yet Japan would not recycle it. Preferring to dump into the ocean for the next 30 years.
So rather than store it where they used to store it especially since they just dumped it in the ocean and it should be empty. They dump it straight into the ocean instead. Wow neat.
So G Wo, did you ask any government officials, experts and TEPCO - why not use the water in those tanks as drinking water for the Japanese? Guess more important to revive Fukushima’s economy. What a piece of copping out reporting.
@@danadurnfordkevinblanchdebunk why the Japanese is not eating the seafood in Fukishima. Watch this article from: @chiwong1443 2 weeks ago The contaminated water (or treated water as Japanese called it) from Fukushima is not only contained tritium, it contains tens of difference types of radioactive elements, which some of them have their half-life over thousands of year. Method of removing radioactive particles from a host still remained as a challenged subject in science, not mentioning use it in industrial scale. If Japan government and their scientists really done it as they claimed, they should be awarded with Noble prize, get the pattern of IPR and make a colossal amount of money. Furthermore, Japan is not a country have abundant of freshwater. Why their government not use these "treated water" for their advantages such as drinking, washing and cultivating their lands, instead of dumping these useful resources to the ocean. It just not make sense!!! Unless the Japan government is fear of these "treated water" and just want to get rid of it in the cheapest way.
People's lack of critical thinking, sheer stupidity, group think and irresponsibility is reflected on the fact that the public opinion on the ill-defined notion of climate change is extremely heightened while the stance on nuclear power, even in a country devastated and nearly destroyed by it, with all of its catastrophic and irreversible environmental consequences is lukewarm at best. There is little hope for the future.
How is Japan devastated, destroyed, etc by the Fukushima accident? What is the catastrophic, irreversible, etc harm to the environment? Your meme is full of holes.
Never been in the ocean. I don't eat seafood. Never will! For supposedly smart people....let's put the backup generators in the basement. Yeah, real bright idea!
Hydrogen fuel generator was safer to have at each home About the size of a bin can create gas..powering a home..gas to heat cook Run a small generator to produce electricity No toxic fumes A car can be fueled on hydrogen gas From salt water Safer
