Following the radioactive wastewater splatter incident at the crippled Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant, Tokyo Electric Power Company (TEPCO) began the release of the third batch of "treated and diluted" radioactive water into the ocean. TEPCO asserts that this method of ocean discharge is "safe," basing their claim on what they describe as "scientific" data, even though it poses serious risks to human health and the global marine environment.
