The UN's nuclear watchdog says the impact on the environment will be"negligible" but the plan has been strongly criticised by China.The power plant is being decommissioned after much of it was destroyed by an earthquake in 2011. Pic: APJapan is set to start releasing huge amounts of treated radioactive water from the wrecked Fukushima nuclear power plant into the sea - despite criticism from China.
The Japanese government has said the move is safe and the UN's nuclear watchdog has given the plan the greenlight, saying the impact on the environment would be"negligible".says it is crucial to decommissioning the power station following the disaster more than a decade ago. The plant was hit by a huge earthquake in 2011 that destroyed its cooling systems and caused three reactors to melt, contaminating the water and triggering continuous leaks.
By early 2024, the storage tanks which hold the leaked, treated water will reach their capacity - hence the need for a solution.
