Third Wave of Fukushima Water Release Sparks Fury in Pacific
The third round of nuclear-contaminated wastewater discharge from Japan’s tsunami-damaged Fukushima plant wrapped up on Nov. 20, releasing over 23,000 tonnes of treated water into the ocean 🌍. While Japanese officials claim the water is \"safe,\" Pacific communities are pushing back hard.
'The Sea Is Our Lifeline'
CGTN Stringer recently hit the streets of Fiji, where local fisherman David didn’t mince words: \"Japan’s approach is rude and self-serving.\" 🎣 He told reporters the nuclear water dump has already impacted his business, adding, \"The ocean isn’t just water—it’s how we feed our families.\"
Pacific Islanders, environmental groups, and neighboring countries have repeatedly criticized Japan’s discharge plan. With seafood industries and marine ecosystems at risk, the debate over balancing nuclear cleanup and ocean protection is heating up faster than a TikTok trend 🔥.
