Japan launched the 11th round of nuclear contaminated water discharge cumulative discharge exceeded 1.34 million tons

Tokyo Electric Power Company (TEPCO) launched the 11th round of Fukushima nuclear contaminated water discharge on March 12, discharging 7,800 tons on a single day, and the cumulative total amount of water discharged into the sea has exceeded 1.34 million tons. This move has continued to raise concerns about marine ecological safety in the international community, and many countries have criticized Japan for failing to adequately assess the long-term impact of radioactive substances on the global food chain and marine life. South Korea, China and other countries have announced a moratorium on imports of aquatic products from the area around Fukushima to guard against potential food safety risks.
The Japanese government claims that the discharges are in line with international standards, but environmental groups such as Greenpeace have pointed out that the nuclear contaminated water contains radioactive substances such as tritium and Carbon-14, which could spread through ocean currents to global waters, threatening fishery resources and human health. The United Nations Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), while recognizing the technical compliance of the Japanese discharge plan, has emphasized the need for long-term monitoring of ecological impacts.
