Radioactive Water Leak at Fukushima Plant Draws Criticism

Japan's industry minister demands improved safety measures following a recent leak, highlighting ongoing decommissioning challenges.

Japan's industry minister criticizes the president of TEPCO for a radioactive water leak at the Fukushima nuclear plant, raising safety concerns.
The recent leak involved 1.5 metric tons of highly radioactive water, downgraded from an initial estimate of 5.5 tons.
The incident has sparked unease among local communities and international observers, highlighting the challenges of the plant's decommissioning process.
TEPCO is urged to improve safety measures and prevent human errors, with the president apologizing for the mishaps.
The leaks have intensified opposition to the planned discharge of treated wastewater into the sea, a project opposed by fishing groups and neighboring countries.
