The tsunami-wrecked Fukushima nuclear power plant is releasing treated radioactive water into the ocean, prompting China to ban seafood from Japan.
Japan is confronting a depopulation crisis because of a precipitously falling birth rate, but one mountain town has bucked the trend — spectacularly.The operator checked data and the progress on a set of four monitors that show the water volume, pump conditions and any alerts.
The wastewater is collected and partly recycled as cooling water after treatment, with the rest stored in around 1,000 tanks, which are already filled to 98% of their 1.37-million-ton capacity. Those tanks, which cover much of the plant complex, must be freed up to build the new facilities needed for the decommissioning process, officials said.
Fukushima’s fisheries, tourism and economy — which are still recovering from the disaster — worry that the release could be the beginning of new hardship.decline in the fish population
