The Issue

Releasing ultra-toxic radioactive water from Fukushima into the Pacific Ocean can damage human DNA and destroy Ocean life, A Greenpeace investigation said. Carbon-14 in the radiated water has a half-life of 5,370 years and becomes “incorporated into all living matter”, the report said.

The Japanese government and Tepco are lying to the public when they refer to the tainted water– as “treated water.” 

“Nearly 10 years after the start of the disaster, Tepco and the Japanese government are still covering up the scale of the crisis at Fukushima Daiichi,” said Shaun Burnie, author of the report and senior nuclear specialist with Greenpeace Germany.

“They have deliberately held back for years detailed information on the radioactive material in the contaminated water. They have failed to explain to the citizens of Fukushima, wider Japan and to neighbouring countries such as South Korea and China that the contaminated water to be dumped into the Pacific ocean contains dangerous levels of carbon-14."

Japan’s government is expected to announce a decision on the water’s fate next week-October 2020. Media reports said the project begins in 2022 at the earliest and takes decades to complete.
