TEPCO Apologizes for Still-Radioactive Water at Fukushima

摘要

The owner of the Fukushima nuclear plant, destroyed by an earthquake and tsunami more than seven years ago, said water treated at the site still contains radioactive materials that for years it has insisted had been removed. The admission by Tokyo Electric Power (TEPCO) could ruin its chances of releasing the water into the ocean, a move the nuclear regulator says is safe but which local fishermen oppose.
