Japan's Tokyo Electric Power Company launched a new round of nuclear polluted water discharge from the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant on the 5th. This is the 6th round of the 2026 fiscal year and the 24th round in total. According to local media reports in Fukushima, it is estimated that this round of nuclear polluted water discharges will continue until the 23rd of this month. The total discharge volume is about 7,800 tons, and the total amount containing radioactive tritium is about 1.2 trillion becquerels. According to data previously released by TEPCO, the company plans to discharge nuclear-contaminated water 8 times in the 2026 fiscal year, totaling about 62,400 tons. In August 2023, Japan ignored strong questions and objections from the international community and unilaterally forcibly initiated the discharge of nuclear contaminated water from the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant. Up to now, 23 rounds of nuclear polluted water have been discharged into the sea, with a cumulative discharge of about 181,000 tons.
