According to a report by Fukushima CCTV on the 7th local time
Japan's Tokyo Electric Power Company said on the same day
A leak occurred at the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant's nuclear-contaminated water purification unit
TEPCO's current estimates show:
About 5.5 tons contained radioactive material
Leakage of nuclear-contaminated water
It contains the total amount of radioactive substances such as cesium and strontium
or up to 22 billion becquerels

TEPCO said that the leak occurred at the point where the leak occurred was the exhaust vent used to discharge the hydrogen produced during the treatment of the water. TEPCO said that during an inspection of the equipment that morning, on-site workers found that 10 of the 16 valves that were supposed to be closed during the previous operation were open, causing the remaining nuclear-contaminated water in the pipeline to leak out of the exhaust port after mixing with fresh water.
TEPCO said that the leaked nuclear-contaminated water may have seeped into the surrounding soil, and that the contaminated soil will be recycled. In addition, TEPCO said that there was no significant change in the concentration of radioactive substances in the drainage ditch closest to the leakage site, and that it had not confirmed that the contaminated water was flowing into the ocean, which would affect the external environment.

A magnitude 9.0 earthquake struck the sea off the northeastern part of Japan
and caused a huge tsunami
It was affected by both earthquakes and tsunamis
A large amount of radioactive material leaked from the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant
Caused by the occurrence of the Chernobyl nuclear accident in the Soviet Union
The worst nuclear accident
△On August 24, 2023 local time, Japanese people protested in front of TEPCO headquarters in Tokyo.
April 13, 2021
The Japanese government has officially decided to contaminate the water with nuclear weapons
It is filtered and diluted and discharged into the sea
After the Japanese government decided to start the discharge of nuclear contaminated water from Fukushima into the sea
The international community strongly criticized and opposed it
Personalities and media from many countries pointed out
Japan's actions are extremely irresponsible and harmful
It is urged to immediately withdraw its decision to discharge the sea
August 24, 2023
Japan has ignored the strong opposition of the international community
The discharge of nuclear-contaminated water from the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant into the sea was initiated
