The Tokyo Electric Power Company is still struggling to contain the
Fukushima nuclear disaster that was touched off by the 2011 earthquake
and tsunami in Japan. This autumn, the power company admitted that
contaminated groundwater was flowing into the Pacific Ocean at a volume
of one Olympic-sized swimming pool every week.A map that shows radiation
from the Fukushima plant spreading throughout the Pacific has been
circulating on social media. But US officials have said there is no
evidence of unsafe fish in the American food supply chain. The effects
of the radiation that has been released into the air and water may never
truly be known.Al Jazeera's Michael Okwu reports from Fukushima, Japan.
