The decision was made during a cabinet meeting on April 13 in Tokyo. The storage tanks at the plant are expected to reach their capacity by autumn 2022, and releasing the water is seen as a necessary step to avoid disrupting operations at the facility.
The water contains technical levels of strontium that cannot be removed through current technology and will be diluted with seawater before being released into the ocean. On April 7, a soil contamination area was found near Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant No. 3. On April 13, Japan's government held an internal cabinet meeting.
