Fukushima: Japan releases nuclear wastewater into Pacific Ocean - BBC News

Japan has begun releasing treated radioactive water from the Fukushima nuclear plant into the Pacific Ocean - 12 years after the meltdown at the site.

The UN's atomic regulator says the discharge meets safety standards and will have a "negligible" impact on humans and the environment.

But the decision has fuelled protests locally and in South Korea - while China has imposed a ban on all Japanese seafood.
