Japan started releasing Fukushima treated radioactive water into the Pacific Ocean last Thursday, prompting China to impose a blanket ban on Japanese aquatic products.
It started releasing treated radioactive water from the wrecked Fukushima nuclear plant into the Pacific Ocean from 23 August after which China imposed a ban on sea food from Japan.
Despite firm opposition from Beijing, Japan has begun discharging treated radioactive water into the Pacific Ocean from the wrecked Fukushima nuclear plant.
Tokyo said it would begin Fukushima water release some time this summer, and received backing from the International Atomic Energy Agency for the plan earlier this month.
A ban would include imports of all live, frozen, refrigerated, dried or otherwise preserved aquatic products, sea salt, and unprocessed or processed seaweed.
Japan has faced opposition to its plan, both at home and abroad, including from South Korea, despite assurances that the water is safe after being filtered to remove most isotopes.
Japan plans to release 1.3 trillion tonnes of water used to cool the fuel rods of the Fukushima plant damaged by a massive earthquake and tsunami in 2011.
Over generations, Bihar’s bane has been its utter lack of urbanisation. But now, even Bihar is urbanising. Or let’s say, rurbanising. Two decades under Nitish Kumar have created a new elite in its cities.
Indian govt officials last month skipped Turkish National Day celebrations in Delhi, in a message to Ankara following its support for Islamabad, particularly during Operation Sindoor.
Bihar is blessed with a land more fertile for revolutions than any in India. Why has it fallen so far behind then? Constant obsession with politics is at the root of its destruction.
