Okuma: Waste water from Japan’s Fukushima nuclear power plant, which was destroyed by the tsunami, has started flowing into the sea. The radioactive water is discharged into the Pacific Ocean following treatment. Tokyo Electric Power Company Holding (TEPCO) has announced that the first phase of water stored in the nuclear power plant will be released.
Meanwhile, Japanese fishermen’s groups are opposed to the release of the water. They are worried that this will affect their fishing profession. But TEPCO officials and the Japanese government say that the radioactive water is released following special treatment and there is no need to worry. Meanwhile, various groups in China and South Korea have raised concerns over the issue, which has become a political and diplomatic issue.
