In the just ended round, about 7,900 tons of water containing small amounts of radioactive tritium was discharged.
Tokyo Electric Power Company (TEPCO) has concluded the second round of releasing treated water from the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant in 2026. During this phase, approximately 7,900 tons of water, containing low levels of radioactive tritium, were discharged into the Pacific Ocean. This process is part of TEPCO's ongoing plan to manage and dispose of contaminated water generated during the plant's decommissioning. The company maintains that the discharge is conducted in accordance with safety standards and regulatory approvals. Environmental monitoring is in place to assess the impact of the releases.
This regular discharge of treated water is a critical and often controversial aspect of the Fukushima Daiichi decommissioning process, with ongoing implications for environmental safety and international relations.
