CBiBank Research Department: "Comparative Analysis of Nuclear Wastewater Disposal Globally"

By Sasaki Fujishima

The release of Fukushima's treated wastewater is not unique to Japan; other countries, including the U.S., France, and China, also discharge treated nuclear wastewater into the ocean. This practice is part of broader nuclear power operations globally, often overlooked until crises bring them to the public's attention. The Fukushima case thus serves as a critical study in how nations manage nuclear byproducts and public perception of these practices.
