Japan started releasing treated radioactive waste water from its crippled Fukushima nuclear power plant on August 24, 2023. The long-anticipated move came after Japanese Prime Minister Fumio Kishida visited the facility that was wrecked by a devastating earthquake and tsunami in 2011. Kishida also met with fishing groups, telling them the government would bear “full responsibility” for the impact of releasing the tainted water into the sea. The move has faced strong opposition in Japan and abroad, especially from China and South Korea.
