I went to Japan(Kyushu) recently and I was shocked to see a lot of plastic waste in their shore. When I got closer all labels are written in Hangul did not see a single trash with a Japanese character.
Cos theyve been complained before. Lets say, someones down the street is complaining to u about the dog faeces of ur pet dog on ur lawn. Then ur neighbour....who is friend with the guys down the street, also got dog faeces of his pet dogs on his lawn. You complain. But they stay silent. Thats the issue.
Then there is toxin concentration up the food chain, typically toxins go up ten times each step up the food chain. Tritium would be different. But other radionuclides could get concentrated 10,000 times from phytoplankton into human bodies.
the funny part is this scare caused Mainland Chinese people to buy dosimeters and found out all of their walls have more radioactive particles than Japan's treated water. hahaha

China releases more contaminated water into the ocean yearly than any other nation. They have no room to criticize Japan for its controlled and monitored release of water. Take a look at how much is reported and remember, in China, reports are government approved, so the actual amounts are most likely much much higher.
Japan has been one of the most responsible countries if not the most careful when dealing with radioactive waste. The water they're releasing has no harm on the environment. It's been treated multiple ways and dilluted with a ton of water. Very different to how irresponsible countries like China deal with their waste.

I tell you all what is more scarier then Shin Godzilla. It's finding out that the oceans can no longer support life. This isn't anything that will effect us right now, on no no no. No this is something that our children and their children will have to deal with. I have never considered myself a tree hugger. I always thought if you own the land, then you are allowed to dig holes, build on it and chop down trees. Did you know that back when America was founded, a squirrel could jump tree to tree from the Mississippi River to the Atlantic Ocean without hitting the ground.
For context, the increase in radiation in the the local waters from that water Japan is dumping is effectively nothing. Its already been given time to lose the vast major of its radioactivity, and once diluted into the ocean, will be even less so.
Japan finding a way to treat the water waste before dumping it into the ocean is way way honest than other countries who dumped ones before and even now..evidences speak their effort..some or many of the countries opposing the Japanese’s way of disposing the waste seem subjective due to their history with Japan, especially those who manipulate what comes out in the media misinforming their citizens..Personally, it’s better they dispose the processed water waste than leaving them in those drums..it’s known that Japan is not safe from specific natural disasters..if those unfiltered water leaks due to earthquake and such, that would be more dangerous… Edit: However, they shouldn’t make it a habbit😅..the world should find a safe way to dispose their chemical waste
its only considered as radioactive waste water because it was used at that nuclear plant... otherwise its actually handled very well by japan... even went above and beyond by international standards...

Tritium has a half life of around 12 years, so if you had 100 units of triium, after 100 years you would have 0.012 units because it decays atomically rather quickly. Basically, tritium water can be returned to the environment in controlled releases.
Not to mention, it's getting created naturally in the atmosphere on a constant basis in large quantities. Slowly dumping the already treated leftovers won't change much other than making people uneasy.
Not to mention that the amount of tritium in all the Fukushima water is less than the amount of sugar in 1 12oz can of soda. And theres three half lifes, physical, biological and effective. "The average biological half-life of tritium is 10 days, but it can vary naturally by 50 percent or more and is dependent on the body-water turnover rate."

After Fukushima, I compared the alleged "dramatic" increase in fish radioactivity with regular environmental radioactivity (mostly radon). I don't remember the exact numbers (in Becquerels), but it was still way way below the typical and very common radon radiation exposure.
The easier number to remember is grams. Theres fewer grams of tritium in the water than there is sugar in a 12oz can of soda. (39g of sugar vs 2.2g of tritium) And the tritium is more diluted.

They pump untreated wastes straight from their reactors. Typical hypocrites if you ask me. But of course, not everyone knows this because not many would like to take the time and learn about what they are criticizing.
The way i see it, they can treat the water and release it to ease up on the storage, or we can F around, and wait till the next tsunami hits that area, and the treated water AND untreated water, gets swept into the ocean anyways. take your pick. One way or another its going in the ocean, its just a matter of is it treated before hand or not.
listening to the full explanation of the process, from cleaning the water to monitoring marine life, the situation seems to me like it's being handled better than the rest of the countries that continue the same practice and will result in far less damage.
Not like this can really do damage. The ocean is more radioactive by itself. If anything that would lower the overall radiation by a billionth. Not like its an issue in the first place. Water is extremely good at stopping radiation. You can even swim in nuclear reactors safely if you don't get shot by the guards.
We are doing better year over year. Its mostly the plastic and chemical companies now. Though there are still places that look like burning tar pits over 100 years old.
both meaningless protests by ignorant people who consume headlines 🙄 this water is barely contaminated at all. its extremely diluted and treated. china's a fkn hypocrite for whining about this because their rivers are 2 orders of magnitude more radioactive than this water and they dump them non-stop on the ocean. and protesting trump... open your fkn eyes, your country became trash in the hands of libs. how much abuse will you have to take before you learn that leftism is a blight in the world?

better than leaving it plus if i remember right there background tritium before its dumped is lower than the water France drops into the ocean, from there own reactors. this is just a scare
@@patrickday4206 The water they are discharging and the tritium therein is so diluted that it cannot possibly harm anything. You seem to be forgetting that all the radioactive materials in the nuclear plant came from the earth in the first place. They could take water right out of the reactor, put it on planes flying at high altitudes, and spray it around without harming anything aside from the planes themselves and the ground and aircraft crews if they weren't protected from the concentrated radiation.
To put some numbers on it, the amount Japan is releasing contains less than 1500 Bq/L, and the limit for drinking water concentration is set at 10,000 Bq/L by the WHO, and 740 Bq/L by the EPA. The Japanese limit would provide a yearly total dose of < 3 millirems, if water at the maximum radioactive limit was ingested in the normal amounts over that time period. That is a bit less than the total extra radiation exposure you receive from 1 round trip cross country (USA - 12 hours total flight time).
@@Girl-Next-Door Hiroshima and Nagasaki were repopulated only 15 years after being bombed. Nature around Chernobyl was practically unfazed. People worry far too much about radiation. Just spread it far and wide and it goes right back into the background radiation from whence it originated.

This is not harmful to the environment. It’s being greatly diluted and the radioactive particles are also greatly slowed down by the density and depth it is in. That being said this is very safe and will not cause radiation related illnesses.
Dumping dangerous matter like radioactive substances is always something that should be closely inspected and debated, because it is an issue that can cause serious problems if done wrong - and I think Japan seems to have handled it really well. Part of the reason for their meticulous and transparent work has to be attributed to the critical eye of the affected public holding them responsible.
The reason most the fish(the ones not with cesium contamination) are likely fine as well as wild life is largely due to tritium being extremely weakly radioactive, diluted in water making it even less so. Tritium's radiation cannot even penetrate human skin, and only has a half life of 11 years, simply its hydrogen that has 1 more neutron than deuterium which 'also' exists in nature in extremely dilute amounts. As for the Cesium contamination, my thoughts on that, I'd be more suspect of the corium at the reactor itself, how exposed is that actually to the ocean? I mean your looking at a large lump of molten radioactive magma, water probably has no issue eroding it. Even if they got it sealed by now your still looking at a lot of dust/sand corium material getting into the ocean for a few years. Just a thought anyways.....
Theres three half lifes, physical, biological and effective. "The average biological half-life of tritium is 10 days, but it can vary naturally by 50 percent or more and is dependent on the body-water turnover rate."
Because there's absolutely nothing wrong with it since it followed regulations and has been properly treated. Unless you're one of those people who immediately imagines those glowing green sludge in movies every time you hear the word radioactive.
@@maki0794people tend to make unreasonable judgments when ignorant. They don’t even have a clue how much radiation we get exposed to just by doing daily activities.
To be correct, it's not nuclear wastewater but nuclear contaminated water. It's completely different from nuclear wastewater and is far more dangerous. Nuclear contaminated water contained over 60 radioactive contaminants, yet they kept talking only about tritium, keeping silence about the rest, which is way more dangerous. If the treated radioactive water is so safe, why did Japan refuse when other countries want to come and test it? Saying it safe is a unilateral statement from Japan. And why do you have to corner China in everything? China is not the only country that banned seafood from Japan. Several other countries, such as Hong Kong, Taiwan, South Korea, Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand, Australia, Russia, and even the United States have imposed import bans on seafood and other food products from Japan. Why this video only mentioned China? And if the treated water really safe, why doesn't Japan release it into their own rivers, and instead chose to dump it into the world's ocean??? One more thing that this video didn't mention is that it's true that there are other ways to solve the nuclear contaminated water, but it costs a lot of money, and Japan chose the cheapest and easiest way, that is dumping it into the ocean. But they still want to save face and reputation so they did a little water treatment and declared unilaterally that the water is safe so that they won't be condemned. Japan is so hypocritical. Doing such a bad thing, but still trying to pose as a good guy. This channel is very bias and one-sided. It didn't tell the whole story, and is lacking in truth. Sadly most people believe it.
So hum. I think you should say from the start that the water is barely radioactive now and that it's rather safe. Probably better to dump and let it get diluted than letting it be until it spills by itself.
We do know how to "neutralize" it, its called lead shielding and other high-density materials. Materials absorb the radiation and stop it in its tracks. Even WATER ITSELF slows/stops radiation over time. Its just anti-nuclear activist groups insist that we haven't learned how because they don't know ANYTHING about the things they oppose or even why, they just get there big paychecks from the coal industry. They do everything in there power to block any and all research in nuclear physics including anything done to actually help the world or deal with the waste ect, even blocking waste cleanup efforts that'd work better, its nuclear, so they oppose it.
I always wonder why they dont consider most issues when inventing things but then I realize there would be no innovation if they did. And I cant even blame scientists or researchers for those problems because they most likely knew and had to communicate them but at the end theres a business/organisation that decides to disregard that information.
Because water already exists. What more do you want. And radiation is naturally occurring. The sun emits radiation. Live in a cave and you get exposed to radiation from radon. Bananas are radioactive. People are radioactive.
2:45 I'm laughing so hard when seeing Chinese doing that, their government literally dumpling nuclear waste in ocean the moment they have power plant from it. 😂 Ohh the irony.
I agree. And what Japan is dumping and other countries are dumping are not even the same thing. What Japan is dumping is not nuclear wastewater but nuclear contaminated water which is far more dangerous. Nuclear contaminated water contained over 60 radioactive contaminants, yet they kept talking only about tritium, keeping silence about the rest, which is way more dangerous.
Another thing that was not directly mentioned is that when the radioactive water is mixed with non-radioactive one, the radioactivity will disappear faster. Something similar is done to infertile lands in order to make them fertile again.
Everybody says China dump ratio active water and complains, but what about UK 2 Chinese power plant waste is still less than the UK power plant and every one chose to not talk about it
just saying if anyone here is a fan of salmon, they predominantly migrate between japan and washington state, so if this goes wrong salmon could be off the plate. forever.
Just because one country dumps in the ocean doesn’t make it ok, especially for others. In America we have to pay for our own healthcare. One reason, so capitalism can abuse us and the environment. If they had to pay for our healthcare, they may think twice about saving money by keeping us as healthy as possible and the environment as clean and pristine as possible.
I haven't watched the whole video, a bit of radioactive water shouldn't matter because it'll decay before it becomes enough to become a problem. At the same time though you could just boil the water to separate the radioactive contents. That might sound inefficient and like a huge waste of power however nuclear power plants operate by heating water until it evaporates into steam so it really shouldn't make any difference for them. I'm assuming the problem was that the nuclear plant was shut down so it would be costly to transport it for evaporation.
Good comment. Two things, tritium is naturally occurring and the amount in all the Fukushima water is less than the amount of sugar in a 12oz can of soda. Thats a lot of evaporating for 2g of tritium. It would be easier just putting it in the public drinking system but public perception. And the biological half life of tritium is 10-30 days mean it wont be in you for the 12 yrs people talk about.
So what you're saying is "Yeah the water is radioactive, yeah its better to not be dumped in the ocean, yeah we don't have a choice, so we'll do our best to make it safe."
The real truth is that these people who are billionaires only care about their own lifespan and doing this isn't going hurt them in their life on this planet.
A funny part of that story is that alot of pinks got radiation monitors, Went to japan to measure the radiation... then they did it at home and found 6-20x more

listening to the full explanation of the process, from cleaning the water to monitoring marine life, the situation seems to me like it's being handled better than the rest of the countries that continue the same practice and will result in far less damage.
Not like this can really do damage. The ocean is more radioactive by itself. If anything that would lower the overall radiation by a billionth. Not like its an issue in the first place. Water is extremely good at stopping radiation. You can even swim in nuclear reactors safely if you don't get shot by the guards.
A glittering gem is not enough.

It's been a while since I've seen a protest with a real meaning..
There are protests against trump, and that's DEFINITELY real meaning!!!
@caroljo420 oofff did you just equate a presidential candidate with radioactive waste dumping ? Talk about out of touch.
both meaningless protests by ignorant people who consume headlines 🙄
this water is barely contaminated at all. its extremely diluted and treated. china's a fkn hypocrite for whining about this because their rivers are 2 orders of magnitude more radioactive than this water and they dump them non-stop on the ocean.
and protesting trump... open your fkn eyes, your country became trash in the hands of libs. how much abuse will you have to take before you learn that leftism is a blight in the world?

Why am i hungry now?

radioactive tuna 🤤
better than leaving it plus if i remember right there background tritium before its dumped is lower than the water France drops into the ocean, from there own reactors. this is just a scare
They aren't dumping radioactive water. The water their dumping is way cleaner than natural rain runoff.
You don't know what tritium is then
@@patrickday4206 The water they are discharging and the tritium therein is so diluted that it cannot possibly harm anything. You seem to be forgetting that all the radioactive materials in the nuclear plant came from the earth in the first place. They could take water right out of the reactor, put it on planes flying at high altitudes, and spray it around without harming anything aside from the planes themselves and the ground and aircraft crews if they weren't protected from the concentrated radiation.
@@kirkjohnson6638 NOPE.
To put some numbers on it, the amount Japan is releasing contains less than 1500 Bq/L, and the limit for drinking water concentration is set at 10,000 Bq/L by the WHO, and 740 Bq/L by the EPA. The Japanese limit would provide a yearly total dose of < 3 millirems, if water at the maximum radioactive limit was ingested in the normal amounts over that time period. That is a bit less than the total extra radiation exposure you receive from 1 round trip cross country (USA - 12 hours total flight time).
@@Girl-Next-Door Hiroshima and Nagasaki were repopulated only 15 years after being bombed. Nature around Chernobyl was practically unfazed. People worry far too much about radiation. Just spread it far and wide and it goes right back into the background radiation from whence it originated.
When WATOP says he's getting coffee, that is a request to hit the like button. You might as well. I'm not sure it does as much as the content makers think it does, but doing so doesn't cost anything. It's the least I can do.
This is not harmful to the environment. It’s being greatly diluted and the radioactive particles are also greatly slowed down by the density and depth it is in. That being said this is very safe and will not cause radiation related illnesses.
The ocean is not a dumpster bruh
Dumping dangerous matter like radioactive substances is always something that should be closely inspected and debated, because it is an issue that can cause serious problems if done wrong - and I think Japan seems to have handled it really well. Part of the reason for their meticulous and transparent work has to be attributed to the critical eye of the affected public holding them responsible.
The reason most the fish(the ones not with cesium contamination) are likely fine as well as wild life is largely due to tritium being extremely weakly radioactive, diluted in water making it even less so.
Tritium's radiation cannot even penetrate human skin, and only has a half life of 11 years, simply its hydrogen that has 1 more neutron than deuterium which 'also' exists in nature in extremely dilute amounts.
As for the Cesium contamination, my thoughts on that, I'd be more suspect of the corium at the reactor itself, how exposed is that actually to the ocean? I mean your looking at a large lump of molten radioactive magma, water probably has no issue eroding it. Even if they got it sealed by now your still looking at a lot of dust/sand corium material getting into the ocean for a few years. Just a thought anyways.....
Theres three half lifes, physical, biological and effective. "The average biological half-life of tritium is 10 days, but it can vary naturally by 50 percent or more and is dependent on the body-water turnover rate."
You have to understand the sheer size of the ocean. We could dump millions of tons of waste into the ocean and it would have no effect.
boy that is one deceptive thumbnail
500 olympic sized swimming pools is literally nothing compared to the earth
You want Godzilla this is how you get Godzilla!
When you lose, don't lose the lesson.
This guy just said it made sense to dump radioactive material in the ocean!
Because there's absolutely nothing wrong with it since it followed regulations and has been properly treated. Unless you're one of those people who immediately imagines those glowing green sludge in movies every time you hear the word radioactive.
@@maki0794people tend to make unreasonable judgments when ignorant. They don’t even have a clue how much radiation we get exposed to just by doing daily activities.
@@maki0794 And tritium is naturally occurring and is already in the ocean.
To be correct, it's not nuclear wastewater but nuclear contaminated water. It's completely different from nuclear wastewater and is far more dangerous.
Nuclear contaminated water contained over 60 radioactive contaminants, yet they kept talking only about tritium, keeping silence about the rest, which is way more dangerous.
If the treated radioactive water is so safe, why did Japan refuse when other countries want to come and test it?
Saying it safe is a unilateral statement from Japan.
And why do you have to corner China in everything? China is not the only country that banned seafood from Japan. Several other countries, such as Hong Kong, Taiwan, South Korea, Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand, Australia, Russia, and even the United States have imposed import bans on seafood and other food products from Japan. Why this video only mentioned China?
And if the treated water really safe, why doesn't Japan release it into their own rivers, and instead chose to dump it into the world's ocean???
One more thing that this video didn't mention is that it's true that there are other ways to solve the nuclear contaminated water, but it costs a lot of money, and Japan chose the cheapest and easiest way, that is dumping it into the ocean.
But they still want to save face and reputation so they did a little water treatment and declared unilaterally that the water is safe so that they won't be condemned.
Japan is so hypocritical. Doing such a bad thing, but still trying to pose as a good guy.
This channel is very bias and one-sided. It didn't tell the whole story, and is lacking in truth. Sadly most people believe it.
@@B_Governance5G can control your brain and brainwash you 🙂
I’m waiting on Godzilla to emerge from the pacific ocean 🦖. 😊
POV: A Godzilla comes out of nowhere and destroys everything.
Japan had no choice. They waited and did everything they could to make it less harmful.
Japan lover love this video
That's crazy dawg😮
So hum. I think you should say from the start that the water is barely radioactive now and that it's rather safe.
Probably better to dump and let it get diluted than letting it be until it spills by itself.
I love your videos
Once you choose hope, anythings possible.
If we are smart enough to split the atom, why can't we figure out a way to neutralize radiation?
We do know how to "neutralize" it, its called lead shielding and other high-density materials. Materials absorb the radiation and stop it in its tracks. Even WATER ITSELF slows/stops radiation over time.
Its just anti-nuclear activist groups insist that we haven't learned how because they don't know ANYTHING about the things they oppose or even why, they just get there big paychecks from the coal industry. They do everything in there power to block any and all research in nuclear physics including anything done to actually help the world or deal with the waste ect, even blocking waste cleanup efforts that'd work better, its nuclear, so they oppose it.
I always wonder why they dont consider most issues when inventing things but then I realize there would be no innovation if they did. And I cant even blame scientists or researchers for those problems because they most likely knew and had to communicate them but at the end theres a business/organisation that decides to disregard that information.
Because of how radiation works
Because water already exists. What more do you want. And radiation is naturally occurring. The sun emits radiation. Live in a cave and you get exposed to radiation from radon. Bananas are radioactive. People are radioactive.
One of the few channels I'm subbed to, that I hit like on before I watch the video. Never a bad video.
2:45 I'm laughing so hard when seeing Chinese doing that, their government literally dumpling nuclear waste in ocean the moment they have power plant from it. 😂 Ohh the irony.
The workers in facilities are suited up to the max preparing to dump safe levels in ocean.
Japan is epic tho
Yes, epicly stupid.

This
Yeah it’s like saying the us nuked Japan before so therefore other countries can nuke each other as well
I agree. And what Japan is dumping and other countries are dumping are not even the same thing.
What Japan is dumping is not nuclear wastewater but nuclear contaminated water which is far more dangerous.
Nuclear contaminated water contained over 60 radioactive contaminants, yet they kept talking only about tritium, keeping silence about the rest, which is way more dangerous.

The title gets old pretty quick
Your comments get old after awhile😢
it does after all he is copying china with this title ahahaha
The topic is also old news. About time he covers it. He's about a year late...
Another thing that was not directly mentioned is that when the radioactive water is mixed with non-radioactive one, the radioactivity will disappear faster. Something similar is done to infertile lands in order to make them fertile again.
I'll see your "not much to worry about" and raise you a high level of skepticism in this game of nuclear waste poker.
okay then go do your own research on it. there's plenty of material out there on it.
It would make more sense to suggest liking the video near the end, once we've had time to decide if we liked it.
Do they want Godzilla? Cuz this is how you get Godzilla..
With what they release compared to the whole, they won't be the ones responsible for its creation.
Im curious about "this is how you get Godzilla". Please provide sources showing this is how you get Godzilla.
Everybody says China dump ratio active water and complains, but what about UK 2 Chinese power plant waste is still less than the UK power plant and every one chose to not talk about it
"What Japan Is Doing to the Ocean Shocks the World"
Are u sure about that china untreated radioactive water trillions of metric tons of it they dump in to the ocean
Why don't they just drop all the radioactive products in the volcano lava ?
just saying if anyone here is a fan of salmon, they predominantly migrate between japan and washington state, so if this goes wrong salmon could be off the plate. forever.
everyone!! like this video!! only you can get steve to stop reminding us to like the video by showing the reminder isnt needed!
Save Our Planet Now
And they say Beef is bad for you...
Just because one country dumps in the ocean doesn’t make it ok, especially for others. In America we have to pay for our own healthcare. One reason, so capitalism can abuse us and the environment. If they had to pay for our healthcare, they may think twice about saving money by keeping us as healthy as possible and the environment as clean and pristine as possible.
I haven't watched the whole video, a bit of radioactive water shouldn't matter because it'll decay before it becomes enough to become a problem.
At the same time though you could just boil the water to separate the radioactive contents.
That might sound inefficient and like a huge waste of power however nuclear power plants operate by heating water until it evaporates into steam so it really shouldn't make any difference for them.
I'm assuming the problem was that the nuclear plant was shut down so it would be costly to transport it for evaporation.
Good comment. Two things, tritium is naturally occurring and the amount in all the Fukushima water is less than the amount of sugar in a 12oz can of soda. Thats a lot of evaporating for 2g of tritium. It would be easier just putting it in the public drinking system but public perception. And the biological half life of tritium is 10-30 days mean it wont be in you for the 12 yrs people talk about.
Did you know? If the sand in a river feels sticky, it's likely not safe to swim there as it is 💩 mix with sand.
So what you're saying is "Yeah the water is radioactive, yeah its better to not be dumped in the ocean, yeah we don't have a choice, so we'll do our best to make it safe."
The real truth is that these people who are billionaires only care about their own lifespan and doing this isn't going hurt them in their life on this planet.
This is an excellently crafted video. I thank you for laying out as much information as possible. It allows opinions to build properly without bias.
Will You talk about Chines rivers? They are more contamined with all sorts of nasty things.
A funny part of that story is that alot of pinks got radiation monitors, Went to japan to measure the radiation... then they did it at home and found 6-20x more
