Japan is set to win approval to discharge more than a million cubic meters of treated water from the Fukushima nuclear disaster site into the Pacific Ocean, a contentious plan that’s soured ties with neighbors including China.

    This is a non issue. The ALPS water has been treated for every radio isotope except for tiritum, which is harmless. The release of this water will be a great case study for studying pacific ocean currents and that’s about it.

      Could you source another article? Better to be backed with sources when disproving political claims on news websites.

        Because that’s what they do. Find any reason to feel slighted by ‘the other countries’ so they can hold it against them.
