TOKYO-The Japanese government is pushing ahead with its plan to release 1.3 million tons of radioactive water from the defunct Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant into the Pacific Ocean.
Ever since the 2011 Tohoku earthquake and tsunami devastated the Fukushima power plant, crews have continuously pumped water through the wrecked reactors to cool the nuclear fuel, much of which melted.
The water will be discharged at a single point for decades, so tritium, which can be bound into animal and plant tissue, and other radioactive isotopes may still accumulate in marine organisms and work their way up the food chain to fish and humans.
