en.Wedoany.com Reported - Tokyo Electric Power Company (TEPCO) launched a new round of nuclear-contaminated water discharge from the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant on the morning of June 1, marking the 20th such discharge by the company.

It is reported that at 11:28 a.m. local time on June 1, TEPCO began this round of nuclear-contaminated water discharge.

According to previously released data from TEPCO, this discharge is scheduled to continue until June 19, with an estimated total volume of approximately 7,800 tons of nuclear-contaminated water, containing about 1.3 trillion becquerels of radioactive tritium.

Since Japan unilaterally forced the start of nuclear-contaminated water discharge in August 2023, the international community has continued to express concerns and raise questions. To date, TEPCO has completed 19 rounds of nuclear-contaminated water discharge, with a cumulative discharge volume of nearly 150,000 tons. This discharge plan is scheduled to last approximately 19 days.

The discharge plan previously proposed by the Japanese government and TEPCO has sparked concerns from multiple countries and regions, including China. All parties call on Japan to handle the nuclear-contaminated water issue responsibly and accept international oversight. The international community continues to monitor subsequent monitoring data and assessment results regarding the potential impact of nuclear-contaminated water discharge on the marine environment and public health.
