Measures to prevent the discharge of contaminated water into the ocean include A) Groundwater leakage prevention by a steel water barrier on the sea-side and B) Pumping up of groundwater dammed up behind the sea-side water barrier from the well points and groundwater drains. Due to these measures, the volume of contaminated water discharged, 540m3/day in May 2014, fell to 80m3/day in FY2023, and was below 100m3/day in FY2024.</p><p>"In the reduction of the toxicity of contaminated water, cesium and strontium are removed, and after the removal of impurities using a reverse osmosis (RO) membrane, the multi-radionuclide removal equipment (ALPS – Advanced Liquid Processing System) then removes 62 radionuclides [NOT COMPLETELY!!!]. The water is then stored in tanks (containing 1,297,190m3 as of January 30, 2025. However, due to past equipment <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/malfunctions" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>malfunctions</span></a> and operational policies, around 64% of the stored water exceeds the notification concentration). </p><p>"Oceanic release of the ALPS-treated contaminated water began on August 24, 2023, a total of 78,285m3 being released in ten batches by January 2025. Table 2 shows the amounts released in each release and the total amount of tritium released. The concentration is gradually rising. One further release is scheduled during FY2024. In addition, roughly 15,720m3 of water remain in buildings, and a further 8,946m3 of strontium-treated water, etc., 5,644m3 of water treated by RO, and 9,463m3 of concentrated wastewater, etc. also exist onsite."</p><p>Read more:<br><a href="https://cnic.jp/english/?p=8272" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="">cnic.jp/english/?p=8272</span><span class="invisible"></span></a><br><a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/FukushimaIsntOver" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>FukushimaIsntOver</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/WaterIsLife" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>WaterIsLife</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/PacificOcean" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>PacificOcean</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/TEPCOLies" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>TEPCOLies</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/FukushimaNuclear" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>FukushimaNuclear</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/RethinkNotRestart" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>RethinkNotRestart</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/RadioactiveContamination" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>RadioactiveContamination</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/HormesisIsBullShit" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>HormesisIsBullShit</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Bioaccumulation" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Bioaccumulation</span></a></p>

However, despite his long-standing authority, he left without resolving key decommissioning issues at Fukushima.</p><p>Awareness of Tsunami Risk Without Action</p><p>"In February 2009, a critical internal meeting—later known as the 'Gozen Kaigi' (御前会議) —highlighted the risk of a tsunami exceeding the plant’s protective barriers.

Founded in <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/RioDeJaneiro" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>RioDeJaneiro</span></a>, the unique film festival, also known as <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/AtomicAgeCinemaFest" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>AtomicAgeCinemaFest</span></a>, is the only film festival in <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Brazil" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Brazil</span></a> to receive this honor this year. </p><p>"'The Uranium Film Festival is certainly one of the most unique festivals we've ever had on our list, but its singular focus shines an important light on problems that unite communities all around the world — and in fact our entire world.

Inevitably, folks wonder whether there are enough films on the subject to warrant a festival. The answer is yes.
