How far do they dump it from the coast?
0km from Fukushima's coast, so about 500km from South Korea
They aren't dumping it. They dug miles of caves below the sea floor and are pumping the filtered water into the caves slowly over the span of decades. That's why this whole thing is very dumb. Japan is taking enormous measures to do this safely.
