A group of journalists from HT investigates the impact of Fukushima's controversial plan to dump water into the ocean
Shaun Burnie , senior nuclear specialist with Greenpeace, confirms in the Fukushima nuclear power plant decommissioning project, considering it "fantasy" and that the discharge of contaminated and treated water into the ocean
Eleven years after the earthquake and tsunami that led to one of the worst nuclear accidents in history, Greenpeace is issuing a new wake-up call after reviewing multiple documents from different government agencies and industry.

Tokyo Electric Power Co. is the world's fourth-largest utility and the bastion of the nation's nuclear power, from which
Japan draws 30% of its electricity. Tepco serves a third of the population. The company that operates the nuclear power plant has contributed to the disaster with its management before and after the accident It falsified reviews, concealed information and delayed urgent measures
The company is contributing to the scandal, acknowledging that it has falsified safety reports, elevating fleeting inspections to exhaustive examinations. Tepco is also accused of irresponsibly delaying the cooling of the reactors with salt water because it was going to ruin them beyond repair.
The legacy of scandals in the sector in half a century has punished its credibility.
The Greenpeace organization recalls that the company's negligence brought the former IAEA management to task on numerous occasions, its spokesman Hidehiko Nishiyama denounced on numerous occasions as the errors in the measurements of radioactive water, apparently due to failures in the software used to carry out the measurements. , Nishiyama insisted, in the harshest criticism the company has ever received.
