How Japan is dumping 1m tonnes of radioactive water in the ocean | It's Complicated
Since the 2011 Fukushima nuclear disaster, more than 1m tonnes of radioactive water has been building up at the power plant in central Japan.

So how do you go about making 1m tonnes of radioactive water, safe to drink?
