Government Proposes Release of Fukushima Water to Sea to Air
As featured on
A Japanese government panel has roughly accepted a draft proposal for releasing into the sea massive amounts of radioactive water now being stored at the tsunami-wrecked Fukushima nuclear plant.
More than 4,700 units of fuel rods remain inside the three melted reactors and two others that survived the 2011 earthquake and tsunami.
Nearly nine years after the 2011 triple meltdowns at the plant, the radioactive water continues to accumulate as water used to keep the cores cool leaks from the damaged reactors.
