Russia to negotiate with Japan over discharge of nuclear wastewater into sea
Russia says it will lodge representations with Japan over Tokyo's decision to discharge radioactive water from the Fukushima nuclear plant into the Pacific Ocean.
Moscow is calling on Japan to inform the countries concerned of the situation, including future measures to minimize harm to the region and ecological environment.
The nuclear plant crippled in the 2011 earthquake and tsunami has stored over 1.25 million tons of contaminated water generated in the process to cool down reactors and it's expected to fill up next year.
Japan had considered evaporating or storing underground the tritium-laced water as an alternative. But it decided to dilute the waste water and discharge it into the sea because it was more technically feasible and would save on costs.

With seven reactors, the complex was one of the world's largest nuclear plants by output.
Tepco has seen restarting the plant as a main pillar of its business restructuring plan following the 2011 Fukushima nuclear disaster.
But it was found to have been vulnerable to unauthorized entry at 15 locations since March last year because of defective intruder detection systems and backups.
