On March 11, 2011, a big earthquake in Japan damaged the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear pwer plant (核电站), leading t the release f radiatin (辐射). Ten years later, the damaged plant is still causing prblems fr the whle wrld.
Japan recently made a decisin t dump ver 1 millin tns f nuclear wastewater, enugh t fill 500 Olympic-sized swimming pls, int the Pacific Ocean in tw years. It’s the same water that was used t cl the damaged reactrs (核反应堆) at the Fukushima pwer plant.
Many peple are wrried and angry abut the decisin, as the water has radiactive cntaminants (放射性污染物). Accrding t the US Envirnmental Prtectin Agency, radiatin can make peple feel sick. High levels f radiatin can result in cancer and even death.

Sme rganizatins dubt whether the treated water is truly safe. Back in 2018, experts fund a large number f radiactive elements ther than tritium, such as carbn-14 (碳-14), cbalt-60 (钴-60) and strntium-90 (锶-90), in treated wastewater.
