TOKYO -- Japan on Tuesday finalized a decision to discharge wastewater from the disaster-hit Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant into the sea as the accumulation of on-site storage tanks threatens to interfere with decommissioning efforts.
Cabinet members and other officials from relevant agencies gave the plan the go-ahead in a meeting at the prime minister's office. The move drew swift rebukes from neighbors South Korea and China, while the U.S. voiced support for the solution.
