Every day at the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear plant in Japan over a hundred tons of water is flushed through its corroded reactors to keep them cool after the calamitous meltdown of 2011. Now Japan has nowhere else to store its 1.3 million tons of radioactive waste water. So next year it will begin to release (treated waste water) into the pacific. Its neighbors aren't to pleased.

@Nupe117 this is one of my greatest fears about nuclear power. i keep hearing it touted as a way for transitioning from fossil fuels. but if you contaminate water in this way, why is it the transition? 🤔
