Fukushima Water Release | Fukushima Nuclear Plant Starts Releasing Treated Radioactive Water To Sea

Fukushima Water Release | Fukushima Nuclear Plant Starts Releasing Treated Radioactive Water To Sea Aerials as water is being released from the Fukushima’s Daiichi nuclear power plant ahead of Day 1 of discharging treated and diluted radioactive wastewater into the Pacific Ocean. The Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant will start releasing treated and diluted radioactive wastewater into the Pacific Ocean as early as August 24 — a controversial step that the government says is essential for the decades of work needed to clean up the facility that had reactor meltdowns 12 years ago. Prime Minister Fumio Kishida gave the final go-ahead Tuesday at a meeting of Cabinet ministers involved in the plan and instructed the operator, Tokyo Electric Power Company Holdings, or TEPCO, to be ready to start the coastal release Thursday if weather and sea conditions permit. #fukushima #englishnewslive #news18live n18oc_world
