TREATED WATER RELEASE FROM FUKUSHIMA DAIICHI BEGINS福島第一原発 処理水の海洋放出

Tokyo Electric Power Company has started to release treated and diluted water from the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant into the ocean.
Japan's government says it's a necessary step to decommission the plant more than 12 years after it was devastated by an earthquake and tsunami.
Before the release, the plant's operator confirmed the water's dilution had been carried out as planned.
TEPCO analyzed the concentration of tritium, which is measured in units called “becquerel.”
It found the diluted water contained between 43 and 63 becquerels per liter. That's far below Japan's environmental release standards of 60,000 becquerels per liter.
Members of local industries have voiced concern over how the release will impact their business.
The government has promised to work hard to prevent any reputational damage
id it made the change “simply to make that prohibition even more clear.”
