Japan will start releasing treated and diluted radioactive wastewater from the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear plant into the Pacific Ocean as early as Thursday — a controversial step that the government says is essential for the decades of work needed to shut down the facility that had reactor meltdowns 12 years ago.

Holy shit, it’s been 12 years already? 2010-2020 was like a fever dream.

What are the alternatives?

As the saying goes: The solution to pollution is dilution.
In WWII the US processed Ocean water to get the same radioactive components, and now Japan wants to put them back.
Have they considered the kaiju implications of this?
I think… maybe Japan wants one ?
They’d have a national crisis to justify country-wide emergency production of giant robots…
Good! About damn time. Tritium isn’t dangerous when diluted in the ocean, which contains 4.5 BILLION TONS of uranium naturally.
This seems like Godzilla’s origin story. Should be fun.
