Fukushima plant ready to release treated wastewater into sea.

Tokyo Electric Power Company Holdings has completed the construction of equipment needed to release treated radioactive wastewater from the Fukushima nuclear plant into the sea. The plan has faced opposition from local fishing groups and nearby countries over safety concerns. The treated water will be diluted to safe levels and released gradually over decades, but some scientists call for more transparency and delay in the release. The water is currently stored in about a thousand tanks at the plant, which will reach their capacity in early 2024.
