Radioactive water discharge from NPP
2023: Dumping from Japan's Fukushima nuclear power plant
According to data for 2023, water will be discharged from the Japanese Fukushima-1 nuclear power plant by 22 trillion becquerels (a measure of the activity of a radiation source), while the Japanese claim that other countries have discharged multiples of large volumes of radioactive water.
It is believed that super-heavy water quickly dissolves in the oceans to safe concentrations.
The Big Garbage Stain

Next was China with 32.3%, followed by South Korea 9.9%, USA with 6.5%, Taiwan with 5.6% and Canada with 4.7%.
