Nuclear contamination was an extremely serious and horrifying topic in itself.
Nearly fifty years had passed since the Chernobyl accident, yet it remained a dead city, with a full 2,600 square kilometers still sealed off to this day.
Tens of thousands had died, hundreds of thousands had developed cancer, and millions had been affected.
Although nuclear wastewater was not as serious as a nuclear explosion, its radiation was absolutely beyond what humans could withstand. Needless to mention, the same applied even more to animals and plants.
Moreover, once discharged into the sea, the nuclear wastewater would flow with the currents to ocean regions all over the world.
It would directly affect the ecology of the entire marine system. By then, the number of marine animals and plants killed or injured would be astronomical.
In fact, the consequences were much the same as those of a nuclear explosion.
The leader who could make such a decision was utterly devoid of humanity.
On the news, the environmental minister claimed that ever since the Fukushima nuclear leak began, they had been storing the nuclear wastewater in storage tanks, but all the tanks were nearly full.
They had been forced into this last resort.
But anyone with even a little knowledge of the field knew that they had plenty of ways to deal with the nuclear wastewater.
There was still a large amount of abandoned land near Fukushima, more than enough for them to build a new storage-tank facility and wait until they developed a new solution for the nuclear wastewater.
Alternatively, they could have concentrated the wastewater in one place, sealed it off with metal and concrete to isolate the radiation, and buried it underground. Once they found a solution, they could simply dig it up and deal with it properly.
But they
