Fukushima plant ready to release treated wastewater into sea.

Tokyo Electric Power Company Holdings has completed the construction of equipment needed to release treated radioactive wastewater from the Fukushima nuclear plant into the sea. The equipment will undergo a safety inspection by Japanese regulators this week, and if approved, the discharge of the treated water is expected to begin this summer. The plan has faced opposition from local fishing groups and nearby countries over safety concerns. Government and utility officials say the release is necessary to prevent any accidental leak and make room for the plant's decommissioning.
