why consent of local residents only? They want to dump contaminated water into the ocean or a pond?

process it to remove the radioactive materials and then release it into the Pacific Ocean.

They cannot remove all of the radioactive materials. They think it cost saving, because they have no idea of paying any compensation for the further contamination. Someone has to file trillion dollar lawsuit to nail the coffin of TEPCO, so that they will do no more bad things.

If they "consent" it means they get to stay in their homes and maybe get subsidies.

If they "don't consent," it means it's too dangerous (since they can't dump the death water) and have to leave, their homes and everything behind.

Make no mistake, they'll do whatever they want, everything else is just fake window dressing.
