Scientists have warned that the <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/radiological" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>radiological</span></a> risks from the discharges have not been fully assessed, and the biological impacts of <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/tritium" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>tritium</span></a>, <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/carbon14" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>carbon14</span></a>, <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/strontium90" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>strontium90</span></a>, and <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/iodine129" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>iodine129</span></a>, which will be released in the discharges, have been ignored. </p><p>"The International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) endorsed Japan’s plans for discharge. However, the IAEA has failed to investigate the operation of the ALPS, has completely ignored the highly radioactive fuel debris that melted down which continues every day to contaminate ground water – nearly 1000 cubic meters every ten days. Furthermore, the discharge plan has failed to conduct a comprehensive Environmental Impact Assessment, as required by its international legal obligations, given that there is a risk of significant transboundary harm to neighboring countries. The IAEA is not tasked with protecting the global marine environment but it should not encourage a state to violate it."</p><p><a href="https://www.greenpeace.org/international/press-release/61364/japan-announces-date-for-fukushima-radioactive-water-release/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">greenpeace.org/international/p</span><span class="invisible">ress-release/61364/japan-announces-date-for-fukushima-radioactive-water-release/</span></a></p><p><a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/IAEALies" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>IAEALies</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/TEPCOLies" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>TEPCOLies</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/WaterIsLife" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>WaterIsLife</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/FukushimaIsntOver" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>FukushimaIsntOver</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/FukushimaDaiichi" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>FukushimaDaiichi</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/NoDumping" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>NoDumping</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/NuclearPowerPlant" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>NuclearPowerPlant</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/RadioactiveWater" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>RadioactiveWater</span></a></p>
