Japan to Discharge Fukushima Plant's Contaminated Water Into Pacific Ocean

Japan is planning to release over 1 million tonnes of polluted water from Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant into Pacific Ocean. Reportedly, the plant site is running out of space to build more tanks, while the available tanks will be full by 2022. Local fishermen opposed the decision saying it took them years to rebuild the fishing industry after 2011 Tsunami. Government advisors claim the discharge will be 40 times less concentrated and less harmful.
