CNIC Brief: A new argument for considering the issue of contaminated ALPS water releases from Fukushima Daiichi
This brief examines the amount of radioactive material that has been leaking from the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Station ever since the meltdowns occurred more than 12 years ago. It is huge. Both TEPCO and the government are undoubtedly aware of this reality.

While attention focuses on this release, this brief attempts to highlight the even larger problems of Fukushima Daiichi and the irresponsible way the authorities are dealing with them.
