As Typhoon Hagibis hammered Japan on Saturday, thousands of bags containing radioactive waste at Fukushima were reportedly carried into a local stream by floodwaters.
Experts warn the radioactive bags could have a devastating environmental impact across the entire Pacific region, reports Taiwan News.

According to Asahi Shimbun, a temporary storage facility containing 2,667 bags storing radioactive contaminants from the 2011 Fukushima nuclear disaster were “unexpectedly inundated by floodwaters brought by Typhoon Hagibis.“
Torrential rain flooded the storage facility and released the bags into a waterway 100 meters from the site.
Officials from Tamara City in Fukushima Prefecture said that each bag is approximately one cubic meter in size.
Authorities were only able to recover six of the bags by 9 p.m. on Oct. 12 and it is uncertain how many remain unrecovered while the potential environmental fallout is being assessed.
The radioactive waste swept away by Typhoon Hagibis represents the latest setback for Fukushima officials who have struggled to adequately quarantine the radiation.
StatesmanJournal reports: Seaborne radiation from Japan’s Fukushima nuclear disaster has been detected on the West Coast of the United States.
Cesium-134, the so-called fingerprint of Fukushima, was measured in seawater samples taken from Tillamook Bay and Gold Beach in Oregon, researchers from the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution are reporting.
Because of its short half-life, cesium-134 can only have come from Fukushima.
Also for the first time, cesium-134 has been detected in a Canadian salmon, the Fukushima InFORM project, led by University of Victoria chemical oceanographer Jay Cullen, is reporting.
In both cases, levels are extremely low, the researchers said, and don’t pose a danger to humans or the environment.
Massive amounts of contaminated water were released from the crippled nuclear plant following a 9.0 magnitude earthquake and tsunami in March 2011. More radiation was released to the air, then fell to the sea.

Sushi anyone?
That should help wipe off some more of the ocean which the Jews have spent so much effort doing.
Wow! Seek help!
Japan is good at making cars but when it comes to nuclear waste or energy they just don’t care, how many warnings do they need before they clean up the mess?
The Fukashima power plant was run by the Japanese mafia. They were told of the instability of that power plant, but they didn’t care about anything other than spending money taken in. Even the Japanese government allowed them to run the plant as private property. All of this could have been avoided if they had listened to the manufacturer of the plant. Corruption rules.
The Pacific Ocean has Continually received Millions & Millions of Gallons of Radioactive Waste Daily since 2011 & has Destroyed All Pacific Ocean Ecosystems as it will soon Destroy the Gulf via the Panama Canal which will be in addition to the underwater Oil Leaks that have been present since at least the early years of the Corrupt Obamination Regime. But Don’t Worry they tell Us – “It’s Not Harmful”. BULLSHIT!
