  • Japanese researchers are helping develop ways of farming local marine species in Thailand, where invasive animals are damaging the ecosystem.

The article from NHK World-Japan discusses the ongoing issues with the treated water from the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear plant. The Japanese government and Tokyo Electric Power Company (TEPCO) are planning to release treated water into the ocean, a decision that has sparked international concern. The water, which has been used to cool the reactors, contains tritium, a radioactive isotope of hydrogen, despite being treated to remove most other radioactive substances. This plan has been met with opposition from local fishermen, neighboring countries like South Korea and China, and environmental groups, who fear the impact on marine life and the fishing industry. The government insists that the release will be safe, adhering to international standards, and has been working on gaining public trust through transparency and scientific validation. However, the debate continues, with some advocating for alternative disposal methods or further treatment to reduce tritium levels.
