TEPCO to start 4th release of treated Fukushima water in late February


Tokyo Electric Power Company (TEPCO) plans to start a fourth release of treated radioactive water from the wrecked Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant in late February, an official said on Tuesday, continuing a move criticized by China.
The staged water releases began last August in what Japan says is a key step in decommissioning the plant hit by an earthquake and tsunami in 2011.
China and Russia have banned seafood imports from Japan over safety concerns that Tokyo has said are scientifically unjustified.
In the fourth release, about 7,800 cubic meters of the treated water will be sent into the Pacific Ocean, similar to the previous three discharges, Junichi Matsumoto, the TEPCO official overseeing the operation, said in a media presentation.
