- Japan's government maintains that it has treated the water - enough to fill 500 Olympic-sized swimming pools - that was used to cool the fuel rods of the Fukushima plant after it was damaged by the earthquake and resulting tsunami. The treated water will be diluted to well below internationally approved levels of tritium before being released into the Pacific, which minimises the risks, Material physics professor Robin Grimes of the Imperial College London tells CNA’s World Tonight.

The problem is Japan did not invite China or South Korea or any neighboring countries scientists to come check themselves! How do we know the release water has the same levels as whatever sample sent to IAEA?
The scientists are not those in their mind, not the ones we know.
That 70 billion on public relations will not save Japan from their sin.
Japan should dump the radioactive wastes into their own rivers and reservoirs if they are really sure it's safe. Let the scientists who confirmed its safe to drink the contaminated water.
If those scientist won't drink the water..just let them take a bath there in Fukushima..
That would be logistically almost impossible. They'd have to truck it there. The site is right by the ocean so it can be more easily deposited there once treated. Not ideal at all - but maybe the least worse
@@micah1754that'stotally an excuse and beingirresponsible
@@mengsun3007 from what I understand they've tested the water and its within the safe bounds for tritium. I understand the perception issue will be a big factor though . Understand local fishermen would be concerned due to people not wanting to buy seafood from those areas anymore
@@micah1754 Japanese are dishonest, heard the test result conducted by IAEA was no good, there are still more than 60 types of radioactive elements found in the water, however Korean media accused IAEA of accepting money from Japan to allow the results to be altered in the report. Most recently, on 5 June TEPCO released a report indicating that black rockfish caught in the harbour at the Fukushima nuclear power plant in May had caesium levels that were 180 times higher than Japan's food safety standards
Since the nuclear wastewater meets international standards, why doesn't Japan consume it themselves
Yes, use it to brew sake.
Put into their swimming pools and reservoirs for their own consumption.
Japan is water rich country. So they don't have to consume it.
And if Japanese consume it, the water goes to sewage and finally ocean.
Your idea is worthless🤣
@@Tin-gq2ry Being water rich does not mean you cannot use the water. That is a stupid argument. It's like saying I am rich and I cannot use additional money.
Why don’t you drink your toilet water instead then?
It meets international standards for drinking water for sure.
If the water is claimed to be safe and furthermore is fresh water. Don't waste it, use it to water crops all over Japan !!! Also connect them direct to domestic drinking water pipelines.
If you use that water on farmland, now you're going to propagandize that Japanese crops are contaminated, aren't you?
If the contaminated water from the nuclear power plants in Korea is clean, then that water can be used for drinking, industrial, and agricultural purposes, right?
@@garyusya4748what a stupid argument…the water release by other countries were cooling waters, which were not contaminated by the nuclear reactor melt down….dont forget chernobyl is still a no mans land….
@@garyusya4748yes, we believe the crops will be contaminated as well. But it is u ppl who suggest it is safe, so it is ur responsibility to consume those crops isnt it?
Correct, if it is safe, Japan should have used the water for agriculture purposes or car wash or swimming pool even drinking water, they dare not, even Japanese people refuse to buy Fukushima produces. There are still 60 types of radioactive elements found in the water and no way there will be diluted in the ocean…Most recently, on 5 June TEPCO released a report indicating that black rockfish caught in the harbour at the Fukushima nuclear power plant in May had caesium levels that were 180 times higher than Japan's food safety standards. The best is stop eating seafood from now on, not just Pacific Ocean, fishes caught in South China Sea, Indian Ocean and Atlantic Ocean will be affect due to strong currents move the sea water around the world.
@@garyusya4748 So you think it is better to contaminate the ocean and our ecosystem on earth? Very selfish mindset! I thought Japanese don’t like to cause trouble to others, it is not true anymore. There are other options available however Japan rather choose the cheapest and worst option of dumping the water to the ocean. Quick and dirty!😢
Then why waste the water?
Use it to water plants in Japan lah.
Ha ha ha!
Japan is water rich country. So they don't have to consume it.
And if Japanese consume it, the water goes to sewage and finally ocean.
Your idea is worthless🤣
@@Tin-gq2ry
"the water goes to sewage and finally ocean."? You must be from a 3rd-world country. Ha ha ha!
@@Tin-gq2ry Don't lie. As Japan is a typical volcanic island and a country with chronic water shortage, seawater desalination technology is first-class.
Japan focuses more on saving cost instead of safeguarding marine environment and protecting people’s life and health. On the disposal of nuclear-contaminated water, there are options including long-term storage, hydrogen release, geosphere injection, underground burial, and vapor release. Japan has chosen the discharge plan with minimum cost among all options, shifting the risks of nuclear contamination to the rest of the world. The act of putting money ahead of people’s life and health is doomed to be opposed by the international community.
Well said!
正确的
do you drink toilet water?
Then why don't Japan use that water to irrigate their own farms? It's far more cheaper than dumping it to ocean.

Scientists say Fukushima nuclear water release into the ocean is NOT safe
On the 26th, the National Assembly of South Korea held the "Foreign Experts Invited Seminar on Fukushima Nuclear Wastewater Discharge". A panel of scientists told the meeting that the data provided to them by Japan was incomplete, inappropriate, incoherent, inaccurate and unsuitable for any decision.
"Hankyoreh" stated on the 27th that the Pacific Islands Forum (PIF) scientist group participated by 18 Pacific island countries, including New Zealand and Fiji, pointed out at the "Fukushima Nuclear Wastewater Discharge Overseas Experts Invited Seminar" that Japan's Tokyo Electric Power Company Nuclear Power Co., Ltd. Wastewater testing data cannot be used as the basis for determining discharge.
Fake.
The Korean Nuclear Society said that Japan should not postpone the day of waste water because the Korean politicians would say "the water is dangerous!! So japan postponed the day"
The scientists who oppose the plan are opposing only psychologically not scientifically.
Stop eating Japan seafood, stop eating seafood from China waters and the south China Sea its dangerous
Of course NOT safe. Japan is twisting data about the safety of the ALPS process.
Their own reports/manual says "The Multi-nuclide removal equipment (made by Toshiba/ALPS) utilizes the chemical and physical attributes of contaminated water to REDUCE the concentrations of 62 types of radioactive maters. "
No doubt we can scientifically REDUCE the level of any chemical especially when you dilute it enough. Yet Japan public relations states that Toshiba/ALPS machine could "eliminate" all radioactive elements except tritium.
Reduce and Eliminate are 2 different things.
Why not consume or use it for irrigation?
IAEA denies any responsibility if anything happens. Please report the whole truth! Ask them. To drink the water if it is safe.
Just data and verbal manipulation. ALPS own reports/manual says "The Multi-nuclide removal equipment (made by Toshiba/ALPS) utilizes the chemical and physical attributes of contaminated water to REDUCE the concentrations of 62 types of radioactive maters. "

Why not release it at UK coastal area instead since it’s safe ?
whats it got to do with the UK?
We should stop eating Japan seafood, stop eating seafood from China waters and the south China Sea its dangerous
Pls export the seafood to those countries that support the Japan government decision of dumping tons of radioactive waste into sea and ocean. Japan should be the largest consumer of the highly potential radioactive seafood to show that their proclaimed comply safety standard radioactive seafood is safe to eat now and in the future. Also as a token of appreciation to Prof Robin, pls continuously deliver the safe seafood to him and his beloved family to consume for decades.
US already ban Japanese Seafood import.
@@乔峰大哥 I can't find such news.
It will not be just in the ocean. It will evaporate and come down as rain.

Not how it works.

If the water is safe, why need to dump it into the sea?
Japan can use the water for farming if it is safe or better yet, put it back to water supply to prove that it is safe
Japan has an abundance of water and there is no need to reuse the water discharged from Fukushima. It is discharged because it is unnecessary. It is the same as discharging treated sewage water into the ocean in your country.
@@gu9yenk
Few days ago before discharge, farmers in Japan reported shortage of water.
Stop eating Japan seafood, stop eating seafood from China waters and the south China Sea its dangerous
Why not ask experts from Asia.
UN is under US and US says it's safe. Hope this radioactive water will flow to the US.
Hawaii is probably the fastest destination to release from Fukushima into the Pacific Ocean. The IAEA investigation has not been questioned by senior U.S. government officials.
Eleven countries participated in the IAEA mission. Scientists from America, China, South Korea, France, Switzerland, Austria, etc. For the objectivity of the study, four independent research agencies outside the IAEA (USA, South Korea, Switzerland, and France) also collected water samples. After a complex process, they conclude that "environmental effects are negligible."
The point of this news is that non-scientists are fueling fears.
it will - look at the ocean currents
A Korean journalist ask the head of IAEA Grossi whether IAEA staff had accepted 1 million euros from the Japanese side.
Grossi lost his temper and shouted at the reporter, it’s absurd and denied the accusation.
What Japan emits is that after the 311 accident, the furnace core exploded, the nuclear furnace material leaked, and the water that came into direct contact with the furnace core was left to this day because of the toxicity, and then now they say that they will prepare to be discharged into the sea in 30 years, which is the largest marine pollution incident in modern history.
Normal general nuclear power plants discharge cooling water from the hull of the body, and there is no leakage of nuclear substances.
ALPS removes all but the tritium, so the water is identical to what all NPP release.
Yes. Japan had turn the 311 disater from level 2 to level 7 - because of their lies and coverings. Now it is diasater level 1000..

Now Japan will make everyone on earth suffer together.
Regarding the Fukushima nuclear wastewater discharge issue, I think currently the international scientific community and scientists face the following difficulties:
1) The nuclear wastewater composition is complex, and long-term impacts are hard to predict, requiring massive observational data and complex ocean environment simulations, while current related research is still insufficient.
2) The Japanese government and TEPCO have not disclosed sufficient detailed analysis of the nuclear wastewater composition and treatment details, leading to the inability for independent assessment by outsiders.
3) Scientists from different countries and institutions may be influenced by the policy positions of their respective governments, making it hard to remain absolutely neutral.
4) Conducting cross-disciplinary comprehensive assessments requires huge investments in scientific research and long-term observations, necessitating cooperation among countries.
5) There are certain scientific uncertainties, and different models may yield different conclusions, requiring thorough demonstration and discussion.
6) The issue involves complex political, diplomatic and economic considerations, not just pure scientific questions.
7) Currently the public attention and major research resource investment are limited.
In summary, this is indeed a very complex and important issue, requiring the global scientific community to transcend political boundaries, conduct pragmatic cooperation, share data and models, fully discuss different viewpoints, in order to reach scientific and rational conclusions. This entails a long-term process, but being responsible for our shared ocean environment is very important. I hope this provides some objective and rational analysis on this complex topic.
Even elementary kids would know such nuclear contaminated toxin is not safe. Saying so otherwise just show how irresponsible Japan really is. And doing so willfully is a crime against the world.
If it's safe, why wait until now release ?
They dump the water with only approval from IAEA, UN and US only, but WITHOUT APPROVAL from people of their neighbouring countries such as China, South/North Korea, Taiwan, Thailand, Philippines, Vietnam, Russia, SouthEast Asia countries, and Pacific countries, even Japan's people also protest their govt's action. If all of us disapprove Japan's decision and protest their action, it means that they SHOULD NOT dump the water into the ocean.
But China and Korea's nuclear power plants have released more nuclear wastes into the open sea than Japan's. Why would you criticize the Japanese when China is doing far worse???

Not even the approval. Just paid a bunch of money for a "Expect" report. US does that all the time.

The question to ask is: are there alternative. The answer is yes. Use the water, mix it with cement to make concrete. Use the water cement mix in large civil projects like say sewer pipes.
Another question to ask is will it affect the fishery industry. Answer is yes. Most affected will be Japanese fishermen. Also fish farms in surrounding countries. Just the perception alone will affect demand but over time this will subside as water quality of large sea base farms can be monitored.
Moral issues: the seas and ocean should not be dumping ground for waste. Japan should set an example. This is no difference from discharging pollutant into the atmosphere.
Again why total silence on alternate solutions. Use the water with cement to make concrete. This alternative has already being studied and found feasible.
Reporters do your job.
It is puzzling that the Japanese would rather spend ten times the price on public relations all over the world than discharge nuclear wastewater into the sea. 70 billion yen is enough for the Japanese to safely dispose of these radioactive waste ten times.
If it is safe, Japan should use the radioactive water to irrigate their farm land
Stop eating Japan seafood, stop eating seafood from China waters and the south China Sea its dangerous
Can tell the international expert to ask their children to drink the water ?
Or bottled the water and sell in Japan ? Don't release into the sea. Why waste ?
It's because there are so many earthquake at Fukushima. The tanks will be damaged and untreated water will spill out.
The radio active waters should be treated, monitored or reused. It is important to know the actual grade of the water being tested for radio activity, since it is to take some years before it becomes clear.
It's going to be a really long battle. It is a plan that will take about 30 years.
The IAEA will set up an office in Fukushima. Grossi visited Fukushima and promised local residents that the IAEA will be here to the last drop.
If the water is really safe, keep it. Releasing it is a proof that it is not safe. It will revive the atrocities of World War 2.
Thank you. Japan is twisting data about the safety of the ALPS process.
Their reports says "The Multi-nuclide removal equipment (made by Toshiba/ALPS) utilizes the chemical and physical attributes of contaminated water to REDUCE the concentrations of 62 types of radioactive maters. "
No doubt we can scientifically REDUCE the level of any chemical especially when you dilute it enough. Yet Japan public relations states that Toshiba/ALPS machine could "eliminate" all radioactive elements except tritium.
Reduce and Eliminate are 2 different things.
Mr. Grossi and those working for the CNA should drink it to prove to the world that it is safe.
Such a stupid move, iea is useless organization
Good idea.They should prove it
IAEA has no mandate to approve this.
The concern has been around the fact that this water is not regular wastewater used to cool regular operations but contaminated water that came in contact with a nuclear leak likely to contain not just tritium and carbon-14, which can't be removed, but potentially a large number of other substances, radioactive materials.
So what we really should be doing is trying to minimize human exposures to radiation that are unnecessary and can be avoided. Any unavoidable exposure should be kept as low as possible.
In this case, there's a very important argument to be made about whether this discharge actually needs to happen and whether the alternatives have been properly considered and explored. Because for people, especially outside Japan, one could argue that there is no benefit from this discharge. There is only harm.
As for the ALPS devise, it's not widely used in industry practice. It's not been scientifically approved and tested in terms of its efficiency and effect.
The Japanese side repeatedly mentions the term "treated water." The fact is that of the 1.4 million tons of contaminated water, only a little bit has been treated. We don't know how the ALPS device could handle the vast remaining quantity of contaminated water.
The IAEA has no mandate whatsoever to issue a green light for Japan's discharge of contaminated nuclear water. What the IAEA can do is to set up the scientific standards, request compliance with those standards and monitor whether they have been followed or not by its member states.
This is not normal discharge. This is waste material that's projected to be discharged over many decades, which will continue to accumulate. We're not just dealing with the almost 1.4 million tons of contaminated water that's present now, some of which has already leaked into the ground water and will end up in the ocean, but many more tons that will accumulate over decades.
the final report and statement made by the chief of IAEA are self-contradictory and highly controversial. The director general stated that the treated water was drinkable and swimmable. That is surprising. If the water after treatment is safe, as he said, and can be used as drinking water and be used for swimming pools, why doesn't Japan use this water for its domestic agriculture and industrial purposes? If it's clean and safe enough, there was no need to discharge it into the oceans.
At the moment, we don't have any convincing evidence that the treatment of the water will work. Based on the evidence that TEPCO has released so far publicly, 72 percent of the samples of water that had been treated by APLS in one treatment round did not meet the regulatory standards. Some of them were almost 20,000 higher than the regulatory limit.
So we really have no proof that the purification system will work as intended. That's a very direct concern about this discharge. The one approach which the Japanese government is applying is dilution, as if somehow diluting the material, it obviously reduces the concentration. But the total amount of that material is unchanged. Dilution is not a solution, because it doesn't change affect the amount of material in total that is released at all.
ALPS removes all but the tritium so the water is identical to what all NPP releases, and based on your first meme it's pointless to read your entire book.
Precisely Japan nuclear is the most toxic nuclear waste in planet earth as yet.
If safe Japan would have saved it for their personal use. 🥲
Under the pollution of Japan's nuclear contaminated toxic, every time we eat seafood, our bodies accumulate a trench of such nuclear toxan. Over the decades, we will get all kinds of diseases. 🥲
Thank you for your detailed explanation. Much appreciated. 🙏
IAEA is not trust worthy - and it has been influenced and controlled by US on this matter. This is how the US legal system works. Take a proposition and then buy an expert report. In real life, the other side could examine the "experts" and inspect the "evidence". In this case, they don't even want to play fair not letting others examine or inspect. Simple creating a controversy and continue with the murderous act.
@@suikai2776 Tritium doesn't bio-accumulate.
IAEA is not an international agency; if so, why not allow all concerned countries’ scientists to test the safety of contaminated nuclear radioactive water before release it to the ocean.
Quote for you: "The IAEA is an autonomous international organization within the United Nations system" its international.... even has a Chinese representative
Four countries have tested the water and Japan's water release plan meets all international industry safety standards.
Koreans complaining too. They're even closer to Japan than China
Thank you for the video. Hahahaha, so safe it is mix with seawater during the discharge into the world's largest dumping ground - Ocean. If it is so safe, discharge in on land. The trees and plants welcome the water for growth, no need to wait for rain. They can also be used to water roadside shrubs and plants, cleaning of roads, building facades, etc. Such a waste not been able to recycle use for all the fresh water used.
Japan consulted with the IAEA on five methods.
(1) water vapor release. heat up and throw away
(2) hydrogen release; separates into enzyme and hydrogen and releases hydrogen
(3) underground burial
(4) geologic injection
(5) garine release

Scientists should prove that water is safe by swimming in the sea.
Good idea.They should either drink it or swim in the sea
Why there isn't any experts drink the nuclear waste water if they claimed it was do safe?
Instead of just releasing the water into the ocean, is there anything else useful that can be done with the water? Can it be converted into steam to drive turbines to produce power? Can the chemicals contained within be separated and recycled/re-used? We need to re-think everything that we're used to and look at all possible ways to re-use and recycle everything we use, not just this nuclear wastewater, given how our earth is being polluted and abused for our convenience and so-called "progress and development".
Should ask space x to send those radioactive water to sun atmosphere to evaporate it better but US should pay for all this expenses.
Even if the water was converted to steam it will still be radioactive steam. The radionuclides contained in the water once removed from the wastewater through their purification process can potentially have some use as additional nuclear fuel but I’m not sure. Honestly, this is the best course of action because sooner or later there will be another earthquake that can rupture the tanks and release the water into the ocean regardless.
They can learn from Russia's handling of the Chernobyl nuclear power plant accident

In South Korea, the Wolseong nuclear power plant and the Gori nuclear power plant are 3.2 times and 2.2 times higher, respectively.

On October 3, 2019, South Korean media reported that uranium up to 157 times the standard level was detected in 76 underground water sources used for drinking purposes. In many rural areas of South Korea, water supply is not widespread, and when the South Korean government investigated the quality of groundwater nationwide, many radioactive materials and uranium were detected, resulting in a level of 157 times the standard value, a level that could have a significant impact on health.
It has been half a month since it was revealed that a fuel rod in the reactor core at the Taishan Nuclear Power Plant in China's Guangdong Province was partially damaged. As yet, the Chinese authorities have only emphasized that "no radiation leakage has occurred" and have not revealed any details.

Too many things are based on short term safety and benefits of individual interest on matters in this world
Other options are watering their farms or bottle them as drinking water. Personally, i won't buy any seafood import from Japan.
Some are comparing nuclear water with urine & sea water....Here is the statement. If you use diluted urine / sea water in to farming, many would consider it totally acceptable. However, if some use diluted nuclear waster water, no one will eat anything coming out that farm.
The IAEA chief and the Japanese PM should spend a day in the waters after the release. Those that believe it’s safe must jojn them for better impact on the safety of the water. Do some fishing and have a barbecue too
Then you should do this in your country as well since they release the same tritiated water.
IAEA is not trust worthy - and controlled by US on this matter. See how US is the first one jumping out supporting Japan's murderous act?
While US is the one who had cut Japanese seafood import most significant since 2023. They knew what is coming.
@@imdba3685 US knew about the toxicity of the Japanese Nuclear Contaminated waste. That's why they have cut import of Japanese Seafood most drasmatically.
@@ForbiddTV . My country does not have a nuclear power plant. I think you should swim with them too catch some fishes and take selfies
@@Benjamin-bw5ek Then your country kills many people every year from the burning of fossil fuels. No one has died from Fukushima radiation. Coal ash is more radioactive than nuclear waste.
If the water is safe to release why not just use the water for agricultural purposes.
Stop eating Japan seafood, stop eating seafood from China waters and the south China Sea its dangerous
All nuclear power plants on the planet have always released the same tritiated water.
Becasue it's Japan. Now we all know more about Japan.
Indeed, the more they try to cover it up, the uglier they are revealign themselves.
@@imdba3685 What exactly are they hiding about this water release?
Why so worry, the ocean are powerful enough to dilute them, it is not as dangerous as cutting down trees n unnecessary buildings in the greedy name of development, the most dangerous are ocean plastics that keep flowing all over wherever they can float.
why not go to fukushima and openly drink the contaminated water. the Japan government will be very happy to crown you as national hero.
Please distribute to English Channel, Mediterranean, Atlantic, Indian Ocean, etc to ensure fair distribution
Stop eating Japan seafood, stop eating seafood from China waters and the south China Sea its dangerous
Which ever so called scientists said is safe,make sure to catch him and feed him with that water daily
Great bottle the water since only twice higher than drinker water.... can sell it as novelty item...
The question is there are many countries having nuclear plants. Is it therefore alright for all such countries to release their waste into the ocean ?
Japan’s water is contaminated because it touch the extremely radioactive core rod of nuclear plant, while other countries’ water is used to cool the process not contacting directly with the core.
That is not nuclear wastewater, but indeed radioactive contaminated water because of Fukushima disaster. Though Japan claims it has been treated, but no scientific evidence to proof that the water is safe. We should think the worst impact of the water. We are from South East Asia countries should protest Japan's government action.
@SarahKim-uc7bl Korea and China dumped wastewater is a common wastewater, but Japan's is nuclear contaminated water. It s very distinctive. If they think the water is safe, they can use it to irrigate their own farms and fields, or distribute it as household tap water, instead of dumping it to the ocean. Don't treat all of us as guinea pigs of their contaminated water.
They dump the water with only approval from IAEA, UN and US only, but WITHOUT APPROVAL from people of their neighbouring countries such as China, South/North Korea, Taiwan, Thailand, Philippines, Vietnam, Russia, SouthEast Asia countries, and Pacific countries, even Japan's people also protest their govt's action. If all of us disapprove Japan's decision and protest their action, it means that they SHOULD NOT dump the water into the ocean.
The prof should drink a glass live to show his confidence
Safe then why waste it. Drink or use it for farming.
Not consuming Japanese sea products will have negligible impact on our environment。
If its not dangerous, then let the Japanese bottle it and drink it or water their crops with it.
Do you drink seawater or use it for agriculture in your country?
South Koreans panic-buy salt before Japan releases treated Fukushima nuclear water into sea
Supermarkets across Seoul, South Korea have recently run out of sea salt as people stock up on the condiment ,ahead of the planned release into the sea of radioactive water from Japan. Although Japan has repeatedly reassured its neighbours that the water from the 2011 Fukushima nuclear disaster no longer carries health risks, citizens are not convinced.
Scientists also said the power plant was safe.
Since the water is safe, why not japanese just drink it n use it to bath?
How much japan pay IAEA?
Korean media reports, 1 million euros😂
I wanna know where they store the radioactive when they said the purify the water? They neutralize it or they seperate the radioactive from the water?
Assuming the treated Fukushima's radioactive water is safe, then they must be released into Japan river, lake and reservoir, not into Pacific Ocean and South China Sea.
Stop eating Japan seafood, stop eating seafood from China waters and the south China Sea its dangerous
Countries should cancel their signatory with IAEA.
Yeah then we can all dump nuclear waste, great idea
Diluted considerably? So it just okay?well, If the toilet water meets the safety standard, is it okay to pour that SAFE water to others face? HELL NO!
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 without dilution would have no measurable impact.
Boycott US GMO Food & Japanese Seafood 🙏🫣
Here comes Godzilla!!
If the nuclear contaminated water is safe and not harmful to human, why japan needs to dump the nuclear contaminated water into the ocean? They can totally drink up the "safe" nuclear contaminated water, or use it to farm some radioactive fish to the market of japan, those fish should be totally "safe" to be consumed by human, or "safe" to be consumed by japanese and american at least.
まずこれ海水だから飲めねぇよあと海に流せば流すだけ安全になる。なぜなら薄まるから
The nuclear pollution caused by Japan ，but it discharged nuclear wastewater into the ocean of all mankind. The world can do without Japan, but can not do without the ocean.
The world can do well without ignorant comments. All nuclear power plants on the planet have always released the same tritiated water.
@@ForbiddTV If you think Japan is doing the right thing by releasing radioactive water. Then buy you a drink of Japan's radioactive water. Prove you were right.
@@user-pd9ct5ib5r Never worry about what 1450 says. They just repeat the scripts which Japan had provided for them. That come out from teh 70 billion "public relations"
@@user-pd9ct5ib5r The 1450s do not care about your point. Indeed the more they tried to justify the uglier they have revealed themselves.
Biggest BS😢😢😢
If it’s so safe…pls release it just in Japan internal lakes and rivers😮😮😮
Damn you devilish officials….
Let’s all Asian nation boycott Japanese seafood once these water are released 😢😢😢
you know what. I find a new way to release all harmful chemistry liquid product. First, dump it into a large pool so that the concentration will satisfy the "standard". Then, I can legally dump them into the ocean!
What about cutting corners later when people stop paying attention?
The scientist keep saying its only mainly tritium..... which I call bullshit. Why don't they use it for farming. They should publish the percentage of different radioactive elements in the water. It is stupid to compare it to reactor cooling water release. Reactor cooling water is 100% tritium with a half life is 12 years, which is created from neutron bombardment. But Fukushima waste water touched the fuel. They need to tell the public how the cs137 sr90 was removed from the water and what is being done with the material removed.
Why don't you use the tritiated water you produce for farming? ALPS removes all but the tritium, so your meme is moot.
China and Korea should collect and release these radioactive wastes water at U$A EU UK coastal area.
Since all agree are safe, all should share happily.
Just like Texas Gov. Greg Abbott says he sent the two buses of migrants from the U.S.-Mexico border who were dropped off near Vice President Kamala
helpless & hopeless, I do not have power to do anything to stop releasing toxic water to the ocean.
Karma, where is the tsunami with 10+ earthquake?
how sad whole regions of people will impact by Fukushima toxic waste. why do we have to rely on a director general of IAEA's decision & get suffer. US lashes out every PRC movement made but kept silence on releasing toxic water by Japanese gov't.
なぜならどの国の処理水より安全だから
IAEA's report is not a approval for japanese to release the water!
The Japanese water release plan meets all international industry safety standards.
US report say it is safe and is 100% trusted. If report from other countries, it will be questionable. Even if it contaimiated Asia has so many people and removing some will be more green for the world.
Japan should dump the radioactive wastes into this Robin‘s house.
IF THE WATER IS SAFE.....USE IT TO COOL THE PLANT AGAIN.....DO NOT RELEASE!!!!
If it’s safe . Why throw? Might as well use it for local consumption in Japan. Better still, bottled it and export to US. 😂
截至 2017 年底，中国的债务总额达到 669 万亿元（1 K2 万亿）；如果从 2017 年底到 2021 年底的 4 年中继续增加，债务总额将膨胀到高达 1236 万亿元（2 K2 万亿）。 中国经济无疑正处于崩溃过程中，未来诸多矛盾将不断暴露。 尤其是年轻人，他们将忍无可忍。 据说，失业率可能已达到 40%。 世界各国开始从中国撤资，一周内就有 1 000 亿元人民币流出。 中国共产党干部被拖出天安门广场的日子可能很快就会到来。 无论在哪里，共产党的统治都已达到极限。 似乎是为了掩盖中共的失败，它正试图将人们的注意力集中到日本福岛，掩盖中国核设施发生的 2021 年事故，以及比福岛多数十倍的污染水被排入大海的事实。 只有大约一到三个国家对中共的说法表示同情，因为世界上其他国家都知道真相，而这是一个 13-18 岁孩子的知识水平所能理解的，但中国一定有相当多的人没有达到这个知识水平。 有很多中国人在受到政府的刺激时会大吵大闹。
Energy is conserved. Without terminating the energy reaction, or isolating the energy transmission, the radiated energy will not disappear out of thin air. The current practice is just to dilute it, and if enough people eat it, they won't die. But after the water is absorbed by the body, it irradiates the cells through the blood. What to do with egg cells, there is only one copy of DNA, if it is destroyed and develops into an adult, there will be organ function defects and limb disabilities
Hmm... one question. You know countries with nuclear plants, how do they clear their nuclear water. If its the same method, and who knows at far higher levels than Japan and not known to us, whats the difference? The ocean is already contaminated since the time these countries with nuclear plants are established. *sweatdropped*
Why is Japan releasing water and is it safe?
6:20 Japan consulted with the IAEA on five methods.
(1) water vapor release. heat up and throw away
(2) hydrogen release; separates into enzyme and hydrogen and releases hydrogen
(3) underground burial
(4) geologic injection
(5) garine release
↓
IAEA "2, 3, 4 are unparalleled in other countries and have risks and are rejected. 1 is high cost and requires a long period of time. 5 has the lowest environmental impact and can be completed in a short period of time (about 30 years)."
The IAEA will set up an office in Fukushima. Grossi visited Fukushima and promised local residents that the IAEA will be here to the last drop.
Eleven countries participated in the IAEA mission. Scientists from USA, China, South Korea, France, Switzerland, Austria, etc. For the objectivity of the study, four independent research agencies outside the IAEA (USA, South Korea, Switzerland, and France) also collected water samples. After a complex process, they conclude that 'environmental effects are negligible.'
The point of this news is that non-scientists are fueling fears.
If you're so confident about their studies, why not make yourself a subject to their study? Why not drink that water all by yourself?
@@muhiddenmisbak1013 Do you not understand the difference between industrial sewage, agricultural sewage, and domestic sewage? Is it illegal in your country to discharge unconfirmed human consumption of wastewater from factories and sewage treatment plants?
TBH, if they really are sure the water is safer than drinking water, they could easily do two the following things to clear the doubt.
1. Invite experts from country that has doubt to conduct study on whether their treated water indeed is what they claim it is
2. Have some amount of treated water used domestically, or even just have some interview and have those scientist drink it on the spot. (This is not practically economical as you would argue, but I think being able to convince people and have long term economical impact on their fishing industry and public image).
The fact that they are under such public dispute pressure that will cause huge impact on their fishing industry and international image, while there exists such obvious and easy ways to prove the their claim. The fact that they don't do it, just speaks for itself that they are not anyhow confident about their claim.
he said she said.
If it is safe it should be send to politicians and media company that agrees with this as "free mineral and enhanced drinking water" for their daily consumption especially for the Japanese, South Korean, Australian, American and maybe CNA.
Australia and USA might think that they are far away and not affected, they are definitely wrong as ocean are connected. Some also think that they will eat fresh water fish and that will keep them safe but think deeper, river flow into the ocean but there are living creature move upstream and ecosystem happens. Seaweed and sea salt should not be taken for granted. MSG and many products need seaweed as part of the ingredient as well
You are quite right . Scientist estimate it will reach the Atlantic Ocean in 18 months.
Why does CNA continue to invite Western guests in their interviews? Do we not have qualified Asian guests?
Majority of Asian countries don't have nuclear powerplants so why do they have to pay for Japan's mistake？
Show who "is paying" for this Japan tritiated water release.
Yeah, they said it was safe but if you are to force them to bathe and drink it everyday, I can bet that none of them would dare to do so.
Everyone on the planet that ever existed has bathed in tritiated water.
