TL;DR Summary

Dozens of anti-nuclear activists protested outside Tokyo Electric Power Company Holding’s headquarters in Tokyo, demanding Japan scrap its plan to release treated but still radioactive water from a tsunami-damaged nuclear power plant into the sea, which may begin this summer. The utility that operates the plant wrecked in the 2011 disaster has almost finished building the needed facilities to release the massive amounts of water, which has been speculated to begin sometime after June. The plan has faced fierce protests from local fishing communities concerned about safety and reputational damage.
