While Japan last month marked the\u00a010th anniversary of the devastating 2011 Tohoku earthquake and tsunami<\/strong>\u00a0with solemn ceremonies, the government has also been stressing the successes of its recovery efforts in the country\u2019s northeast.<\/p>\n

In truth, however, the country is still coping with the aftermath of the Fukushima Daiichi disaster, which has\u00a0already cost Japan trillions of yen and whose exclusion zone will require up to 40 more years to fully rehabilitate.<\/strong><\/p>\n

And with contaminated water continuing to build up at the ruined Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant, Prime Minister Yoshihide Suga says that the government must finally begin dumping it into the Pacific Ocean.<\/p>\n

With nuclear waste and fuel rods still contaminating the area,\u00a0over one million tons of radioactive waste water continue to seep from the facility<\/strong>, according to\u00a0The Japan Times<\/a><\/em>, forcing authorities into what Suga describes as the\u00a0\u201cunavoidable\u201d position of having to dump the water.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Officials claim that the water would be purified to the maximum extent possible, but environmentalist groups like Greenpeace\u00a0warn<\/a>\u00a0that the water contains hazardous material that could damage human DNA and the health of marine life.<\/p>\n
