Japan has commenced the sixth round of releasing nuclear-contaminated wastewater from the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant into the Pacific Ocean. The discharge, which began on Friday, May 17, involves about 7,800 tons of wastewater being released off the coast of Fukushima Prefecture via an underwater tunnel and is expected to continue through June 4. This action has drawn significant protests from both domestic and international communities, including China and Russia. Japan has lodged protests against China and Russia for referring to the treated water as 'contaminated.' China has strongly opposed Japan's unilateral move, emphasizing the need for an independent, effective, and long-term international monitoring scheme with substantive participation from neighboring countries and other stakeholders to prevent irrevocable consequences.
