Claim: Japanese government's plan to release wastewater from the wrecked Fukushima nuclear reactors would pollute half of the Pacific ocean within 57 days, quoting a research form a German institute.
Fact-check: False: This simulation video does not show Japan's treated water from Fukushima 'polluting half of the Pacific ocean in 57 days' | annie lab
Verdict: false. the video is nine years old and has nothing to do with japan's plan. the clip has also been cropped to make the covered area in the ocean appear bigger than in the original video. the speed of spreading is accelerated.
