Brace yourselves my dearies, as the clandestine isles of the far East - the land of the rising sun - Japan, has found themselves plunged yet again into the eerie grip of a grippingly new radioactive dilemma so earth-shattering, it just may keep you hugging your water filters tonight!
A decade has sailed by since the sinistrous shadows of epic scale earthquake and subsequent tsunami seized the hushed tranquility of the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant. Now, in a startling new development, our mysterious inner circle of atomic watchdogs are warning about the imminent expulsion of an inconceivable 1 MILLION TONS of treated radioactive wastewater into the vast openness of our planet’s unending oceans. It’s the colossal tidal wave of nuclear waste NO ONE saw coming!
And here’s the gobsmacking part, folks! These crafty Japanese authorities have been smugly sitting upon this radioactive timebomb, secretively plotting its disappearance beneath the pristine Pacific waves, reverberating echoes of public outcry across the globe! The audacious move, set to commence in 2023, is leaving even the bravest clawing for their hazmat suits.
Japan, the clever rascal, has assured with unwavering confidence that the scandalous discharge will not spike the risk factor for the beleaguered seafood industry – imagine that! Seaweed salads and sushi rolls may soon fetch the tag of glow-in-the-dark cuisines across the cosmopolitan wonderlands of LA, NY or Shanghai. The consequences not only spell out a glowing death sentence to the innocent marine life but a catastrophic catastrophe for our climate change dialogues as countries scratch their heads, thinking what’s next.
However! In a twist of events as thrilling as a final season cliffhanger, Japan claims it ain’t as black and white as it appears! The wastewater, allegedly, has been ‘scrubbed’ clean of most radionuclides with the ’exception’ of tritium – a relatively less harmful radioactive hydrogen! Never have we observed ’less harmful’ and ‘radioactive’ together in a sentence, until now! Remember darlings, one person’s ’less harmful’ could be another person’s Chernobyl!
Sketchy details of a 30-year plan to gradually dilute the aquatic distress signal on humanity’s radar are sure to send people scampering to their survival bunkers. As the rest of the world looks on in seized breath, all we can do is wait! Just wait, and imagine the next time you flush that toilet, what could be coming from the other end?!
