#Fukushima nuclear plant will start to ditch 1 million tons of tritium-polluted water out into the sea.
> The decision comes weeks after the UN’s nuclear watchdog, the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), approved the discharge, saying that the radiological impact on people and the environment would be “negligible”.
Yea, right #IAEA. This is just as trustworthy as #Shell concluding that the burning of #FossilFuels has negligible effects on the earth's atmosphere.
The monitoring mission of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) has observed previously reported anti-personnel mines at the Russian-occupied Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Plant, Rafael Grossi, the agency's director general, said in a statement on Sept. 23.
International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) experts have observed directional anti-personnel mines on the periphery of the site of Ukraine’s #Zaporizhzhya#Nuclear Power Plant (ZNPP), Director General Rafael Mariano Grossi said 24 July 23
"having such explosives on the site is inconsistent with the #IAEA safety standards and nuclear security guidance and creates additional psychological pressure on plant staff"
This is the freaking nightmare scenario that Netanyahu haa been working 24/7 to achieve.
The moment IRI decides to leave NPT and blocks the IAEA, the whole world go into an even crazier frenzy about it with Israel being the loudest, bit no one will ever mention that israel NEVER signed the #NPT. They refuse to allow IAEA inspectors in or declare how many nuclear weapons they have.
Bot to forget that Israel was caught by #IAEA helping the former south African government under apartheid regime which they volunteerly abandoned and destroyed, but no one did anything to punish the Israeli government.
For the past two weeks, the experts from the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) have been denied access to the reactor halls of units 1, 2, and 6 of the Russian-occupied Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Plant, the IAEA said on Jan. 3.
Some have cast doubt on the #IAEA’s findings, with China recently arguing that the group’s assessment “is not proof of the legality and legitimacy” of Fukushima’s wastewater release.

"Robert H. Richmond, director of the Kewalo Marine Laboratory at the University of #Hawaii at Manoa, is among a group of international scientists working with the #PacificIslandForum to assess the wastewater release plan – including visits to the Fukushima site, and meetings with TEPCO, Japanese authorities and the IAEA. After reviewing the details of the plan, Richmond called it 'ill-advised' and premature.
"One concern is that diluting the wastewater might not be enough to reduce its impact on marine life. #Pollutants like tritium can pass through various levels of the #FoodChain – including plants, animals, and bacteria – and be '#bioaccumulated,' meaning they will build up in the marine #ecosystem, he said.
"He added that the world’s oceans are already under stress from #ClimateChange, ocean #acidification, #overfishing and #pollution. The last thing it needs is to be treated like a 'dumping ground,' he said.
"And the potential risks won’t just affect the #AsiaPacific region. One 2012 study found evidence that bluefin #tuna had transported #radionuclides – radioactive isotopes like the ones in #nuclear#wastewater – from Fukushima across the Pacific to California."
> Ukraine’s Zaporizhzhya Nuclear Power Plant (ZNPP) has completed the planned transition of its reactor unit 5 to cold shutdown while moving reactor unit 4 to hot shutdown, Director General Rafael Mariano Grossi said today.
The US State Department is calling for an end to hostilities in the immediate vicinity of the Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Plant (ZNPP), as the mining of the nuclear facility threatens the security of the entire region.
All six reactor units of #Ukraine’s #Zaporizhzhya Nuclear Power Plant (#ZNPP) are now in cold shutdown for the first time since late 2022 after unit 4 reached this operational state early today, Director General Rafael Mariano #Grossi of the International Atomic Energy Agency (#IAEA) said.
The Russian occupiers have once again rejected a request from the IAEA mission at Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Plant (ZNPP) for access to a nearby thermal power plant to assess the external backup power supply.
IAEA: #FukushimaDaiichi treated water release meets intl. safety standards
January 30, 2024
"The agency said in its earlier report in July that it found Japan's plan for handling the treated water to be consistent with international safety standards. It added that the discharge as planned would have a negligible radiological impact to people and the environment."
Director General of the UN’s nuclear watchdog Rafael Grossi visited the Russian-occupied Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant in Ukraine’s south on Feb. 7 to check the status of the plant’s cooling systems and assess whether it can operate with a reduced staff.
