The team collected samples of zooplankton, phytoplankton, and small fish. It shows that the radioactivity levels of analysed marine life are below levels of concern for marine organism and human.EBSCO_AspNuclear Future
Naturally, the oceans hold about 1-2 becquerels (Bq) of radioactivity per cubic meter of water, where a becquerel is one decay per second. The researchers found hundreds to thousands of times more, with up to 3,900 Bq per cubic meter in areas closer to the shore, and 325 Bq in sites...
The Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant will start releasing treated and diluted radioactive wastewater into the Pacific Ocean as early as Thursday — a controversial step that the government says is essential for the decades of work needed to clean up the facility that had reactor melt...
So, after 120 years, the radioactivity level will drop by a factor of 1,000. The second alternative is to dispose of water permanently by solidifying it with mortar. In other words, concrete. This has been done in U.S. nuclear facilities. So I think both are technicall...

The ripple effects from one of the world’s worst nuclear catastrophes continue after a decade, with implications for human health and remediation efforts.
Uno is also concerned with TEPCO's credibility. "It says the radioactivity concentration in the nuclear-contaminated water meets the standards, but I can't believe that at all. The reliability of the measuring instruments themselves is questionable," she said. ...

Japan has started putting radioactive(放射性的) water from the Fukushima(福岛) nuclear power plant into the ocean. I.After the power plant was damaged, the power company stored radioactive water in 1, 000 huge tanks. The water has been treated to reduce its radioactivity. It is now being...
Seawater, sediment, biota and seaweed samples were collected in the Malaysian Economic Exclusive Zone (EEZ) marine environment within April 2012 to April 2014 as part of the marine radioactivity monitoring activities following the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power (FDNPP) accident. The objectives of this...
