Japan starts 11th ocean discharge of Fukushima wastewater

Japan began the 11th release of contaminated water from the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant into the Pacific Ocean on Wednesday.

The operation is part of an ongoing process to manage and dispose of water used to cool the reactors following the 2011 disaster.

The International Atomic Energy Agency has confirmed that the tritium concentration in the discharged water is below Japan's regulatory standards, aligning with international safety guidelines.

Tokyo Electric Power Company recently announced plans for the 11th batch of wastewater discharge from March 12 to 17.
