Today is a bit of a sobering day every year as it rolls around. March 11, 2022 marks the eleventh anniversary of the beginning of the Fukushima nuclear disaster. What people need to be aware of, first and foremost, is that this crisis has never ended. It has never been stopped. It has never been cleaned up. It continues to release toxic radioactivity into the environment and into the Pacific Ocean, in addition to the massive loads released early on. The current containment and clean-up methods are partial, stop-gap, and highly problematic, to say the least. This is still very much an ongoing nuclear crisis.
I wrote an extensive article last year on the tenth anniversaries of both the Gulf of Mexico oil/Corexit disaster and the Fukushima nuclear crisis, which I will link to here. I think it's one of the stronger articles I've written in my 14-year career as an astrology writer.

Oh, living creatures of Earth. I'm sorry.

And in 2023, fish are being caught near Fukushima with 14 times the allowable limit of radioactivity:
"Japan has ordered the suspension of shipments of black rockfish caught off Fukushima prefecture after tests on a haul late last month showed radiation levels above the legal limit for human consumption.
The ministry of health on Tuesday confirmed that a catch from south of the disabled Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant that was brought ashore on January 26 contained 1,400 becquerels of radiation per kg, far higher than the national standard of 100 becquerels per kg set by the government as safe...
Environmental groups have expressed concern that high levels of radioactivity have been detected in fish caught off the prefecture nearly 11 years after the disaster and are calling on the government to cancel its plan to release around 1 million tonnes of radioactive water presently stored at the plant into the Pacific Ocean."
