Abstract

The nuclear disposal plan was launched in 2011 after the nuclear reactor explosion at the Fukushima nuclear power plant when the amount of nuclear contamination increased to 42 percent. After a giant tank was built to hold the radioactive water, it was nearly filled. That is why the Japanese government is considering dumping radioactive water into the sea. Therefore, researchers are exploring what might happen when underwater biota, especially squid, are exposed to nuclear waste. This research uses the literature study method. The tritium content in Japanese nuclear waste is a very low percentage, so it will not have a significant impact shortly. But it affects the long-term
