[Breaking News] Japan Begins Discharging Contaminated Water from Fukushima Nuclear Plant
Japan began discharging contaminated water (referred to as "treated water" by the Japanese government) from the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant into the ocean on the 24th.
It has been 2 years and 4 months since then-Prime Minister Yoshihide Suga decided in April 2021 to dispose of the contaminated water by releasing it into the ocean.
It has been about 12 and a half years since the Fukushima nuclear accident occurred due to the Great East Japan Earthquake on March 11, 2011.
