Fukushima Daiichi: Japan to dump radioactive waste into Pacific Ocean from Thursday | Oneindia News
Japan is to begin releasing wastewater from the wrecked Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant from Thursday, in defiance of opposition from fishing communities, China and some scientists.
Japanese Prime Minister, Fumio Kishida, has said that disposing of more than 1m tonnes of water being stored at the site is an essential part of the long and complex process to decommission the plant.
He also said that said authorities would go forward with the release on August 24 "if they encounter no obstacles." The decision was made after the government held a cabinet meeting to discuss the issue.
But the plan, announced by Kishida on Tuesday, has caused controversy because the water contains tritium, a radioactive substance that can’t be removed by the facility’s water filtration technology.
Russian and Chinese naval forces have commenced a series of joint military exercises, titled 'Maritime Joint-2024,' in the Pacific Ocean. The three-day drills, which began near the Chinese city of Zhanjiang, aim to enhance the naval forces' capability to address security threats, maintain international and regional stability, and strengthen the strategic partnership between the two nations, according to a statement from Beijing's Defense Ministry. Two vessels from Russia’s Pacific Fleet are participating in the exercises, as reported by the fleet’s press office on Monday via TASS. The participating crews are set to conduct a range of activities, including air defence exercises, drills involving anti-submarine aviation, resupply operations while underway, and sea rescue training.
