Fukushima dumping of radioactive water into Pacific Ocean violates international law
NaturalNews) The mass dumping of highly radioactive water (measured at 7.5 million times the normal allowed levels) into the Pacific Ocean is not just an environmental disaster; it's also a violation of international law. The Convention on the Prevention of Marine Pollution by Dumping of Wastes and Other Matter, passed in 1972, forbids nations and companies from dumping toxic wastes into the ocean. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conven...)
Japan, it turns out, gave the Fukushima complex special permission to release all this radiation, despite the international law. Of course, even Japan's granting of this "special permission" is, itself, a violation of that same international law. But who's keeping track, anyway?
Those managing this disaster in Japan say that releasing radiation into the ocean is their only remaining option right now. As reported in TIME, "There was no choice but to take this step to prevent (other) highly radioactive water from spreading into the sea," said Chief Cabinet Secretary Yukio Edano. "The fact that radioactive water is being deliberately dumped into the sea is very regrettable and one we are very sorry about." (http://ecocentric.blogs.time.com/20...)
Well, I guess it's all okay if they feel sorry about it, then.
But South Korea isn't happy about it, that's for sure: They lodged an official protest with Japan yesterday, complaining about their dumping of radioactive water into the ocean (http://www.theaustralian.com.au/new...).
