THE FUTURE OF FISSION NUCLEAR POWER

Tokyo Electric Power, operator of the damaged Fukushima nuclear facility,   discharged 11,500 tons of untreated water into the Pacific Ocean .  That was way back on 5 April 2011, almost a month after that   Great Tohoku Earthquake, Tsunami and Nuclear Cataclysm .  That chart is NOAA's accounting of where this radioactive fluid went two years later. Wikipedia   reported on the most recent discharge of radioactive water from the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant: Discharge of radioactive water of the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant   into the   Pacific Ocean   began on 24 August 2023, following the   Fukushima Daiichi nuclear disaster   triggered by the   2011 Tōhoku earthquake and tsunami   on 11 March 2011 in Japan. Due to the massive tsunami that disabled the cooling systems at the nuclear plant, three reactors experienced meltdowns, leaving behind melted fuel debris. Water used subsequently to cool the debris became contaminated with radioactive   nuclides . [3]   The m
