Lots of very clever people in the comment section, so please tell me in which universe is releasing 1.2 million tonnes of radioactive waste water into the ocean ever justifiable as good or even preferable? The impacts would be felt for at least ten years across the world. The best way is to contain it, as they have for ten years, and Japan has polluted land to store the wastes, the only problem is the expense. And if you could solve it with money, that's not a big problem at all for a government. I suppose with this move, Japan can even threaten the world for support to help them contain the waste.
