Measures to prevent the discharge of contaminated water into the ocean include A) Groundwater leakage prevention by a steel water barrier on the sea-side and B) Pumping up of groundwater dammed up behind the sea-side water barrier from the well points and groundwater drains. Due to these measures, the volume of contaminated water discharged, 540m3/day in May 2014, fell to 80m3/day in FY2023, and was below 100m3/day in FY2024.</p><p>"In the reduction of the toxicity of contaminated water, cesium and strontium are removed, and after the removal of impurities using a reverse osmosis (RO) membrane, the multi-radionuclide removal equipment (ALPS – Advanced Liquid Processing System) then removes 62 radionuclides [NOT COMPLETELY!!!]. The water is then stored in tanks (containing 1,297,190m3 as of January 30, 2025. However, due to past equipment <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/malfunctions" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>malfunctions</span></a> and operational policies, around 64% of the stored water exceeds the notification concentration). </p><p>"Oceanic release of the ALPS-treated contaminated water began on August 24, 2023, a total of 78,285m3 being released in ten batches by January 2025. Table 2 shows the amounts released in each release and the total amount of tritium released. The concentration is gradually rising. One further release is scheduled during FY2024. In addition, roughly 15,720m3 of water remain in buildings, and a further 8,946m3 of strontium-treated water, etc., 5,644m3 of water treated by RO, and 9,463m3 of concentrated wastewater, etc. also exist onsite."</p><p>Read more:<br><a href="https://cnic.jp/english/?p=8272" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="">cnic.jp/english/?p=8272</span><span class="invisible"></span></a><br><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/WaterIsLife" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>WaterIsLife</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/PacificOcean" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>PacificOcean</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/FukushimaNuclear" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>FukushimaNuclear</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/RethinkNotRestart" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>RethinkNotRestart</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/RadioactiveContamination" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>RadioactiveContamination</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/HormesisIsBullShit" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>HormesisIsBullShit</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Bioaccumulation" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Bioaccumulation</span></a></p>

This is where, 80 years ago, the first atomic bomb was detonated on <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Indigenous" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Indigenous</span></a> land. As a result, these lands are among those most affected by uranium mining and the nuclear industry in general. <br> <br>"Until now, few Indigenous filmmakers have tackled this difficult and often hidden subject. For this reason, the organizers are dedicating an award to promote the production of Indigenous and Native American films about nuclear power, nuclear weapons, nuclear waste, uranium mining, and their consequences. <br> <br>"The best film by an indigenous or Native American filmmaker will receive a special festival trophy in Window Rock.<br> <br>"Now in its 14th year, the International Uranium Film Festival (IUFF) is dedicated to presenting films on all nuclear issues and the entire nuclear fuel chain: from uranium mining to nuclear waste, from nuclear war to nuclear accidents. This unique-in-the-world film festival - named 'One of the 25 Coolest Film Festivals 2024' by MovieMaker Magazine - was founded in 2010 in Rio de Janeiro and took place for the first time in May, 2011. It has presented more than 300 films in 9 countries and more than 40 cities around the world. <br> <br>"The founders and directors of the International Uranium Film Festival, Márcia Gomes de Oliveira and Norbert G. Suchanek, were recently awarded the internationally respected 2025 Nuclear Free Future Award for their work.<br> <br>Film submissions are free for indigenous filmmakers and the deadline is September 20, 2025.<br>Contact for Film Entry: info @ uraniumfilmfestival . org (no spaces)<br> <br>We welcome any support, partners and sponsors.
