Greenpeace says water from Fukushima could harm human DNA

LONDON - Environmental campaigners say contaminated water that could be released into the sea from the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant contains radioactive carbon with the potential to damage human DNA.

Greenpeace claims that the 1.23 million metric tons of water stored at the plant - scene of the 2011 nuclear disaster - contains “dangerous” levels of the radioactive isotope carbon-14 and other “hazardous” radionuclides.
