Fukushima contaminated water

As Japan prepares to release treated water from the tsunami-crippled Fukushima nuclear power plant, it battles harsh criticism from South Korea.

For the first time in 12 years, the Japanese prime minister visited Seoul for a bilateral meeting with the South Korean president. 

The release of ALPS-treated water will have no physical effects on people or the environment.

For Pacific Islanders, who feel a strong guardianship over the Pacific Ocean, Japan’s plan to release contaminated water into the ocean is of critical importance. 

The plan to released treated radioactive wastewater has been fiercely opposed by local residents and Japan's neighbors, including China and South Korea.

It’s time to take the politics out of Fukushima.

The proposed discharge of wastewater from the Fukushima nuclear plant into the Pacific Ocean would violate Japan’s legal and environmental obligations.

The criticisms from China and South Korea are missing some crucial points.

China and South Korea have reacted strongly to the Japanese government’s decision to release contaminated water from the crippled Fukushima nuclear reactor.

Ten years after the Great East Japan Earthquake, the rebuilding process continues for the few who have returned to the region.

Not as much as many headlines suggest, but the cleanup still needs to deal with a complex water issue.
