The International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), has just approved a large Fukushima discharge into the Pacific Ocean and some of Japan’s neighbours are not happy.
The UN nuclear watchdog gave Japan the “greenlight” to dump over over 500 Olympic-sized swimming pools worth of ‘treated’ radioactive water from the crippled Fukushima plant into the ocean, saying the move was consistent with international safety standards.
But China, the biggest buyer of Japan’s seafood exports, is not happy with the plan which has also sparked concerns in Hong Kong.

Chinese customs and food safety regulators are warning against the move and are threatening to block seafood imports from Japan.
Natural News reports: The Fukushima disaster is not over.
Back on March 11, 2011, the Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant was struck by 15-meter tsunami from a catastrophic 9.0 earthquake. Immediately, eleven reactors at four nuclear power plants shut down. In the first three days, all three cores largely melted down, releasing radioactive material, especially through days 4-6. The three units were no longer able to maintain proper reactor cooling and water circulation functions, and their electrical switch gear was disabled. For weeks, operators worked to restore heat removal from the reactors.
All four Fukushima Daiichi reactors were decommissioned due to extensive damage from the meltdown. For years, the basic ongoing task was to prevent the release of radioactive materials, particularly in contaminated water that leaked from the three units.
The Fukushima controversy continues over a decade later
Over a decade later, “treated” radioactive water is set to be released directly form the Fukushima plant into the Pacific Ocean. Hong Kong’s Environment and Ecology Department is not on board with the decision. The Department head, Tse Chin-wan, issued a warning for Japan. If Japan discharged the “treated” water into the Pacific Ocean, Tse Chin-wan said China would ban all imported, frozen, refrigerated, and/or dried seafood products, including unprocessed or processed seaweed and sea salt. This impacts China’s supply of scallops, shrimp, tuna, and Japanese rice wine sake, all of which are popular staples in China. China is the largest buyer of Japan’s seafood exports, so the confrontation has enormous implications.
As Japan gets international approval to dump the treated radioactive water into the Pacific Ocean, Hong Kong warned that they will crack down on Japan’s seafood exports and ban products from a “large number” (10) of Japanese prefectures. China’s General Administration of Customs said the ban is to prevent “contaminated food” from hitting Chinese supermarkets. Chinese Customs lambasted IAEA’s report, claiming it “failed to fully reflect expert opinions” and that China will take “all necessary measures” to ensure that Chinese consumers are safe from radioactive waste.
Wang Wenbin, a Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson addressed the issue in a recent press briefing: “If some people think that the nuclear-contaminated water from Fukushima is safe to drink or swim in, we suggest that Japan save the nuclear-contaminated water for these people to drink or swim in instead of releasing it into the sea and causing widespread concerns internationally.”
Absolutely true. All 12 safety mechanism needed to fail for the disaster to occur. It’s a disgraceful whitewash. The whole business. They made the Royal family visit there to say it was safe and the Princess got sick and died afterwards.
They sent Caroline Kennedy to be Japan’s ambassador after it happened.
That disaster was worse, than Huroshima and Nagasakd combined and made the chernobyl and the other big one look like nothing The while things been downplayed unbelievably. It was massive Like a huge nuclear war unleashed in one spot. Leuren Moret s spent years lecturing around the world on it, but around 2016 she was somehow induced to lay low or her site was hacked or something because she just appeared to stop.
Who knows. They do weird things with the Internet.
Now you’re a nuclear physicist?
Go away little boy Go and read some comics.
At least I can read, unlike yourself.
CHINA IS DEAD RIGHT AGAIN!!
THE RADIOACTIVE will never be contained-it is on going and is worldwide with the radioactives seen around the world and is one of the reasons for our damaged WOOBLE WORLD off axis and radioactive levels off the charts
Too close to the OCEAN and not modern.REACTORS have never been a GOOD BET howard knew that in vegas and died stopping the ATOMIC CLOCK AT MIDNIGHT as he also saved the world from the CUBAN NUKES
Japan once invaded china and ran parts of it until china took back their country .This pattern of china taking back and standing up the world order with CSTO even in cuba seems like their right.I don`t think anyone will want to eat radioactive food or buy anything from that zone in japan including america
Oh you idiot You live next door to nevada which is the most heavily irradiated state in the whole world and which has spread low level radiation all over Anerica That’s why your all brain damaged be ause that s what low level radiation attacks first The brain.
OH it`s all much WORSE THAN THAT!.WE are a WAR state and we sing about our BOMBS BLOWING UP! HOTEL CAL.!
JAPAN`s five melted down reactors are still leaking and leaching radioactives worldwide.The ATOMIC bee hives and atomic voiced singer ELVIS.The RAY bans,the testing has been done all over the world and the leakages follow the fault lines back into the core in most cases.I was never in the ray ban club fakemous know nothing spam bombs&sticky cookies? again? in a KKK Mask boring NON-union bad marketing non-jewish want 2B
The underground testing in VEGAS are not sill leaking like the japan reactors into the ocean which are also into the clouds and worldwide.WE ARE ALL JUST FINE HERE the counter isn`t buzzing but Vegas is now safer than any coast line in the world all full of japans nuclear fallout wastes.Howard had 200 PH-D`s at Vegas which he encamped and died stopping but that age is FAR from oVER
Did Japan forgot about what happened to them as humans? But It became very clear with no single doubt, all international big titles abbreviations are cooperating under the demon’s sign. It will be endless shame to destroy your neighbors and yourself to serve the horns.
CESIUM-137 lasts over 30 years and bonds with water and biologicals and is deadly and is still leaking
