The most appalling aspect, for me, of the Fukushima disaster has been the absolute silence surrounding the topic. As your article indicates, incredible damage continues from the melt-down with no end in sight. If I remember correctly, the EPA has raised their "acceptable radiation" level several times since Fukushima. We can detox radiation with spirulina and like substances, but as the article indicates, the planet has been well poisoned. I've always wondered what happened to the fuel rod which burned through the bottom of their nuclear...long gone in the ocean.
I equally lament that billions of research dollars have been poured into all sorts of research with so little given to this subject. I know scientists have used bacterial to clean oil spills. I also remember reading ideas years after Fukushima which advanced possibilities for clean-up, but evidently, no project has been funded. Rather I despair at the shortsightedness of humans.

All in all the psychosis is deeply entrenched and it seems the road for this is can’t stop, won’t stop, faster and faster,
Turning and turning in the widening gyre
The falcon cannot hear the falconer;
Things fall apart; the centre cannot hold;
Mere anarchy is loosed upon the world,
Is there nothing that can be done. This piece is a very depressing warning that we have no escape. Most depressing.
Add it to the list.
A start would be to stop dumping.
