US EditionResidents and fishermen file a lawsuit demanding a halt to the release of Fukushima wastewater
- Fishermen and residents of Fukushima and other prefectures have filed a lawsuit demanding a halt to the ongoing release of treated radioactive wastewater from the Fukushima nuclear plant into the sea. The discharge is seen as damaging to the fishing community's livelihoods and violates residents' right to live peacefully.
- The release of the treated wastewater began on August 24 and is expected to continue for several decades. While the government and Tokyo Electric Power Company argue that the water meets releasable levels, fisheries groups are concerned about the potential impact on their catch and the industry's reputation.
- China has banned all imports of Japanese seafood in response to the release, and other countries, including Hong Kong, Macau, and South Korea, have suspended imports from affected prefectures. Japanese Prime Minister Fumio Kishida's cabinet has approved an emergency fund of 20.7 billion yen to support affected exporters and combat reputational damage.
