Japan’s release of nuclear-contaminated water from the tsunami-damaged Fukushima plant has sparked global criticism 🌏 – and Peru is the latest to join the chorus of concern. The third discharge, ending November 20, dumped over 23,000 tonnes of treated radioactive water into the Pacific Ocean, raising alarms from coastal communities to international observers.
CGTN Stringer hit the streets of Peru, where locals didn’t hold back. 💬 'The Pacific belongs to everyone,' said one resident. 'Japan should listen to other countries before doing something that affects us all.' Others called the move 'selfish' and warned of long-term environmental risks 🐠🌱.
While Japanese authorities insist the water is safe, Peruvians argue transparency is key. 'This isn’t just Japan’s problem – it’s a global issue,' shared another. With the next discharge reportedly planned for 2024, the debate shows no signs of cooling down. 🔥
