The operator of the wrecked Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant will start releasing treated but still slightly radioactive wastewater into the Pacific Ocean as early as Thursday.
The Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant is seen in Namie, Fukushima prefecture, northern Japan, Thursday, Aug. 24, 2023. The operator of the tsunami-wrecked Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant says it has begun releasing its first batch of treated radioactive water into the Pacific Ocean — a controversial step, but a milestone for Japan’s battle with the growing radioactive water stockpile.
Japan will start releasing treated and diluted radioactive wastewater from the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear plant into the Pacific Ocean as early as Thursday, a controversial but essential early step in the decades of work to shut down the facility 12 years after its meltdown disaster.
