Effects of Japan's Nuclear Waste on Fish Cells in the Sea of Japan

Abstract

The Sea of Japan is one of the seas that is rich in biodiversity, however, over the last few decades, the Sea of Japan has become a global concern due to the impact of the nuclear disaster that occurred in Fukushima. This disaster caused a substantial leak of nuclear waste into the marine environment, which sparked serious concerns. about its effect on fish cells in these waters. This research was created to find out an in-depth understanding of the effect of nuclear waste on fish cells in the Sea of Japan, which is very important to protect the sustainability of marine ecosystems and human health. This research uses qualitative literature study methods. In collecting data, researchers detailed various sources of scientific literature which included research related to nuclear waste, radiation, and fish cell behavior. The results of this research revealed that nuclear waste has the potential to have a significant influence on fish cells in the Sea of Japan.
