TOKYO: Japan's government has decided to release treated water containing radioactive substances from the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear plant into the sea, Jiji news agency and other media reported on Friday (Oct 16).
A formal decision is expected to be made within this month, the reports said.
Tokyo Electric has collected more than 1 million tonnes of contaminated water since the plant was crippled by an earthquake and tsunami in 2011.
The water is stored in huge tanks that crowd the site and it says it will run out of storage room by 2022.
