Well, you confused me when you started talking about the Pacific Ocean dying.
You do know how big the Pacific is don’t you?
And all of the water discharged you Fukishima is processed so as to meet discharge permit requirements. Low activity.
It is costing a lot of money.

It’s probably one of the most freakish aspects of Fukushima. The radioactive fuel escaped containment and radioactive isotopes are found in wells around the plants. It is in the water table. I dont’ know if they are still flushing it but for many years after the melt downs, TEPCO continued to force tons of water over the fuel to keep it from heating up and that water was NOT contained. Tons and tons of radioactive water table water venting into the ocean - an open secret. Meanwhile they put up a cheap tank farm, and then worried that the tanks were falling apart and processing equipment continued to fail.
They then announced they would be dumping the tank water into the ocean. https://www.newsweek.com/fukushima-nuclear-waste-dumped-ocean-japanese-protests-637108
But that’s only Tritium. There are other isotopes - many others - loose around Fukushima. People who watched the Fukushima cams noted steam rising through open cracks around the perimeter of the plant and the power company acknowledges the fuel is a) not contained and b) cannot be contained. So the fuel cores of those plants are making their way into the soil, air and water. That’s why the theatre aspects of those tanks full of tritium water seems bizarre. “Look over here! Not over there!”
