Fukushima Is Releasing Its Nuclear Wastewater

The Fukushima Daiichi nuclear disaster, triggered by an earthquake and tsunami, led to significant radioactive contamination. Efforts to manage the crisis included releasing less contaminated water into the ocean and constructing barriers to prevent further leaks. Advanced treatment systems were implemented to reduce radionuclides in the water. International studies confirmed the treated water's safety, though concerns remain about marine life. Future plans involve sealing off damaged reactors. Ground News provides diverse media perspectives on the ongoing situation.
