Japan starts Fukushima water discharge
Japan has begun its 21st round of discharging radioactive contaminated water from the Fukushima Daiichi plant into the ocean. The process will continue until July 24, during which approximately 7,800 tons of water containing 1.3 trillion becquerels of tritium will be released. This operation dates back to the initial one-time discharge that started in August 2023, following the nuclear meltdowns at the plant in 2011 caused by an earthquake and tsunami, which resulted in a Level 7 nuclear incident. To date, about 157,000 tons of water have been released into the sea since the process began.
