Radioactive water release from Fukushima nuclear plant stokes fresh fears for Japanese fisherman
Fisherman Haruo Ono, 71, throws a Japanese sea bass that was damaged and couldn't be sold back into the sea, at Tsurishihama fishing port in Shinchimachi, about 55 km away from the disabled Fukushima Dai-ichi nuclear power plant, in Fukushima Prefecture, Japan, March 1, 2023. The Tokyo Electric Power Co (Tepco), which runs the crippled nuclear power station, plans to soon start releasing into the sea more than a million tons of radioactive water from the plant that was used to cool the reactors in the aftermath of the March 11, 2011 tsunami that set off explosions and meltdowns, released radiation over a wide swathe and shut down fishing for more than a year due to worries about radiation. "It's been 12 years and fish prices are rising, we're finally hoping to really get down to business," Haruo said. "Now they're talking about releasing the water and we're going to have to go back to square one again. It's unbearable." REUTERS/Kim Kyung-Hoon SEARCH "HOON FUKUSHIMA" FOR THIS STORY.
