Me, Japan's Nuclear Wastewater, and Godzilla

Early in the morning on April 13, 2021, the Japanese government held a cabinet meeting and formally announced that it would discharge nuclear wastewater into the ocean.

The great nuclear nation, the spirit of bowing to the task, welcoming a sea of tritium.

As the joke goes: "Release a lizard in Fukushima today, and a few decades later you'll get a Godzilla. Japan's done for."

But there was no need to wait decades. Before long...

Godzilla... was coming.
