Japan to decide Tuesday on Fukushima water release date

"Nothing about the water release is beneficial to us," third-generation fisherman Haruo Ono, 71, whose brother was killed in 2011

Except for particular company those water are not benefit anyone at all.

Just get on with it?

China not happy?

Just send them a list of pollutants they release on a daily basis.

The build up to this is quite exciting.

Let me guess...the rubber stamp has already been acquired....

Maybe missing something but why couldn’t the water be reused in a closed loop system? Run through ALPS, cool it down and run it through the reactor again, repeat….

I'd bet that the scheduling of the start has been decided upon a long time ago, and this is just more propaganda to make it appear they are doing do diligence.

1.34 million tons of water? Do you have any idea how large of a system would need to be built, and not to mention that the water would become ever more irradiated that there would never be a chance to dispose of it at a future date.

All it might do, at the best, it put off the need to release it sometime in the future. Delaying the inevitable, and making countless times worse.

Releasing radioactive material is never safe

We’ve been in Japan long enough to know that when it’s bad news they try and ease and soften its impact by giving 10,000 head ups.

I'm trying to eat as much sushi as I can these days. After they release that water, I'll have to avoid eating fish from that day on.

Oh Bull!!!!

Kishida, TEPCO and the other government officials involved have already determined a date.

We learned this from Covid. Every time they were going to do some type of lock down, two weeks ahead of time they would say "maybe on this date we will discuss it and maybe on this date implement it". However, that exact date always happened.

Nothing was discussed, they determined on their own.

Talk to the Experts. B.S. They didn't listen to the experts and please tell me who these supposed experts were when we have never had this happen before.

Kishida is not looking for "understanding" as they keep saying. They just want to "FORCE" the issue and do it no matter what the locals or anybody else think.

Fukushima keeps saying "NO". The Fishermen keep saying "NO". They will release anyways.

This all was a huge mess because of this government and TEPCO lying. Are you to believe them now?

With currents and tides, this Tritium and Radioactive water will be distributed throughout the world. Cancer and other bad things are just waiting down the road.

If it's so safe and everybody involved along with their families shower, bathe, drink, have their food made and only use this water exclusively for everything for 10 years.

Show the world a clean bill of health after that and we might accept it.

NHK is reporting that the date will be the 24th of Aug.

World crime and a big lie.

Great, from Tuesday we all stop eating Fukushima and Pacific coast seafood. Well, smart people stopped over 10 years ago.

As regards a nuclear power plant's income statement, loss seems to far exceed income, taking into consideration an unexpected accident like what TEPCO's Fukushima nuclear power plants met. So, why should Japan pursue the same old nuclear power policy as before, touting, "Nuclear energy is the promise of the bright future"? The same applies to all countries.
