Japan's Tokyo Electric Power Company has begun trial operation of the Fukushima nuclear-contaminated water discharge equipment, planned to discharge more than 1 million tons of nuclear wastewater after the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant accident into the sea.

The Japanese government insists on referring to the nuclear-contaminated water treated by the multi-nuclide processing system (ALPS) as "treated water", and believes that the "treated water" has reached the standard and can be discharged.

The Japanese government insisted that the nuclear wastewater would be treated to remove all radioactive substances other than tritium, saying that tritium would have little impact on human health.

But for the local fishermen who live and work around the wreckage of the nuclear power plant, what worries them most is the damage to their reputations caused by the government's decision;
The head of the Japanese Fisheries Trade Union said that the discharge of nuclear wastewater will have a "catastrophic impact" on the industry.

The international community has always had doubts about the safety, effectiveness and sustainability of the Fukushima nuclear contaminated water treatment plant.

South Korean people strongly oppose Japan's discharge of Fukushima nuclear wastewater into the sea;

China's foreign ministry criticized the Japanese government's decision, calling it "extremely irresponsible".
A spokesperson for the Ministry of Foreign Affairs issued a statement on the official website, stating that Japan must not initiate the sea discharge without authorization until it has fully consulted with various stakeholders and the International Atomic Energy Agency and reached an agreement.
The statement also said that China reserves the right to make further reactions regarding Japan's nuclear wastewater discharge plan.
