Fukushima Nuclear Disaster and the Pacific Ocean

Inside the wreckage of what used to be the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Complex, there are the remnants of three wrecked nuclear reactor cores, all literally now twisted masses of hundreds of tons of uranium, plutonium, cesium and strontium and more that are all so radioactive that they will kill anything still alive that approaches them for literally the next several billions of years.  After the meltdown, which followed a tsunami and earthquake in 2011, most of the materials in the plant’s reactors resolidified into difficult shapes in confined spaces, wrapping themselves around and through the structural parts of the destroyed reactors and the buildings.

Because of the Fukushima nuclear disaster, the waters of the Pacific Ocean, washing over and through this mess and the fresh land water leaking through it, are all being left very radioactive that as this radioactive water spreads, the ocean itself is becoming so contaminated that the cubic miles of water that have already come in contact with the wrecked facility, also destroy any life forms that happen to touch it.  Radiation of this nature lasts and spreads for so long and intensifies as it remixes with the already contaminated waters around it, that in mere decades, the overall contamination of the Ocean becomes very harmful that the Pacific Ocean itself will someday become unsupportive to life.  The symbiotic ladder of life forms in the Pacific Ocean is now collapsing in on itself.

It will soon become more obvious as people will become more aware of its ramifications on life.
