A report today on SURFER‘s website details how the devastating March 2011 tsunami that struck Japan continues to devastate today – as the damage it did to the coastal Fukushima nuclear power plant has caused a leak that continues to allow radioactive water to seep into the ocean.
Neither Japan’s Nuclear Regulatory Agency (NRA) nor TEPCO (the organisation that runs the Fukushima plant) have been able to detect the origin of the leak, and until that happens the seas around the plant, and as far away as the USA (radioactive tuna have been discovered in California – presumably having been in contact with the waters around Fukushima) the ocean will feel the effects of the contamination.
