Japan releases 2nd round of Fukushima’s radioactive wastewater into the sea

• The Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant has begun discharging its second round of treated radioactive wastewater into the Pacific Ocean.
• Japan plans to discharge 7,800 tons of the wastewater over the next 17 days.
• The wrecked nuclear plant, which contains 1.34 million tons of radioactive wastewater, will continue releasing the water for decades.

Japan’s wrecked Fukushima nuclear power plant said it began releasing a second batch of treated radioactive wastewater into the sea on Thursday after the first round of discharges ended smoothly.

Plant operator Tokyo Electric Power Company Holdings said workers activated a pump to dilute the treated water with large amounts of seawater, slowly sending the mixture into the ocean through an underground tunnel.
