US EditionFukushima operator says released water samples within safe limits
- Samples of seawater taken after the release of wastewater from the Fukushima nuclear reactor in Japan showed radioactivity levels well below the national safety standard.
- The operator of the plant, TEPCO, conducted rapid tests and confirmed that the analysed values were below 1,500 bq/L, while the safety standard is 60,000 bq/L.
- China has banned all Japanese seafood imports in response to the water release, but Japan's government is urging China to reverse the ban, citing the safety of the filtered water.

TEPCO: Seawater radioactivity within limits after Fukushima release
Initial tests showed seawater radioactivity to be below detectable levels after the release of treated radioactive water from Japan's Fukushima plant, its operator, Tokyo Electric Power Co (TEPCO), said on Friday.
Operators of Fukushima Plant Say Water Samples Within Safe Limits
Operators of the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant said Friday that initial ocean water samples taken since the discharge of wastewater from the plant were well within the acceptable range for radioactive material. At a news conference near the plant in Fukushima prefecture, officials from the Tokyo Electric Power Company — TEPCO — told reporters they took samples Thursday of water from 10 locations within three kilometers of the power plan…
TEPCO says seawater radioactivity within limits after Fukushima release
TEPCO says seawater radioactivity within limits after Fukushima release Initial tests showed seawater radioactivity to be below detectable levels after the release of treated radioactive water from Japan's Fukushima plant, its operator, Tokyo Electric Power Co (TEPCO), said on Friday. The seawater samples contained less than 10 becquerels of tritium per litre, the utility said, below its self-imposed limit of 700 becquerels. The World Health Or…
