Tue situation in Japan lies in stark contrast. Tue disaster at Fukushirna Daiichi nuclearpower plant in March 2011 gave the lie to the legend that "nuclear power is safe". Aroundthe world, countries are shifting policy away from nuclear and toward renewable energy,while new nuclear construction projects are being called off.

On the other hand Japan, home to Fukushirna Daiichi, refuses to give on up its pronuclearenergy strategy and now proposes in its intermediate-to-long term roadmap todump at least 1.34 million tons of contarninated water from the accident (including waterretained inside buildings) into the sea over the course of 30 years. ...
