Japan will start releasing treated radioactive water from the devastated Fukushima nuclear power plant in a matter of hours, despite continued controversy, SİA reports.
Plant operator Tokyo Electric Power Company (Tepco) said on Thursday that weather and sea conditions were suitable and that it would switch on the seawater transfer pumps at around 1pm (04:00 GMT) to begin the ocean discharge. More than one million metric tonnes of the treated water, used to cool the wrecked reactors after the 2011 tsunami, is currently stored in some 1,000 tanks around the site and its removal is a key part of decommissioning the still highly dangerous facility.
