On the afternoon of 11 March 2011, Tetsu Nozaki watched helplessly as a wall of water (crash) into his boats in Onahama, a small fishing port on Japan's Pacific coast.
(spend) the past eight years rebuilding, the Fukushima fishing fleet is now confronting yet another menace — the increasing likelihood the nuclear plant's operator, Tokyo Electric Power (TEPCO), will dump huge quantities of radioactive water into the ocean.
"We strongly oppose any plans to discharge the water into the sea," Nozaki, head of Fukushima prefecture's federation of fisheries cooperatives, told the Guardian.
Currently, just over one million tonnes of contaminated water is held in almost 1, 000 tanks at Fukushima Daiichi, but the utility has warned that it will run out of space by the summer of 2022.
(release) the wastewater into the sea would also anger South Korea, adding to pressure on diplomatic ties.
Seoul, which has yet to lift an import ban on Fukushima seafood (introduce) in 2013, claimed last week that discharging the water would pose a "grave threat" the marine environment — a charge rejected by Japan.
Japanese Government officials say they won't make a decision they have received a report from an expert panel, but there are strong indications that dumping is preferred over other options vaporising, burying or storing the water indefinitely.
Critics say the government is reluctant (support) the dumping option for fear of creating fresh controversy over Fukushima during the Rugby World Cup, starts this week, and the buildup to the 2020 Tokyo Olympics.
