Japan’s Tokyo Electric Power Company (TEPCO) confirmed it discharged 7,800 tonnes of Fukushima nuclear-contaminated water into the ocean this month—the fourth such release since August 2023. Over 23,300 tonnes have now entered the sea, igniting debates worldwide 🌍.
In street interviews by CGTN, residents from the US, UK, Australia, Canada, and New Zealand voiced alarm. Sophia, a US citizen, said, \"It makes me fear for our future.\" Darren from the UK criticized the move as \"dumping toxic sewage\" and urged Japan to \"listen to neighboring countries.\" 🗣️
While Japanese officials insist the water is treated and safe, experts remain divided. The release has strained Japan’s ties with regional neighbors and eco-conscious communities. Activists demand transparency, with protests trending online under #StopOceanPollution.
