Workers carry transfer pipes to install them in front of the measurement and confirmation facility for Advanced Liquid Processing System (ALPS) treated water, at the disabled Fukushima Dai-ichi nuclear power plant in Okuma town, Fukushima prefecture, Japan, March 8, 2023. The Tokyo Electric Power Co (TEPCO), which runs the crippled nuclear power station, plans to soon start releasing into the sea more than a million tons of radioactive water from the plant that was used to cool the reactors in the aftermath of the March 11, 2011 tsunami, assuring the water is treated, filtered, diluted and safe. "What we say to the fishermen is that we have equipment to treat the water safely," Tomohiko Mayuzumi, a Tepco spokesperson, told Reuters at the plant.

Fisherman Haruo Ono, 71, talks about the upcoming release of Advanced Liquid Processing System (ALPS) treated water from the disabled Fukushima Dai-ichi nuclear power plant into the sea, during an interview with Reuters at his home in Shinchimachi, about 55 km away from the power plant, in Fukushima Prefecture, Japan, March 1, 2023. The tsunami moved Haruo into high inland, surrounded by other new houses on straight roads laid out after the disaster.

Tepco, which runs the crippled nuclear power station, plans to soon start releasing into the sea more than a million tons of radioactive water from the plant that was used to cool the reactors in the aftermath of the March 11, 2011 tsunami, assuring the water is treated and safe, but the fishermen and farmers have been struggling for years to restore the reputation of their produce and now fear the dumped water will kill their business. "It's been 12 years and fish prices are rising, we're finally hoping to really get down to business," Haruo said. "Now they're talking about releasing the water and we're going to have to go back to square one again. It's unbearable." REUTERS/Kim Kyung-Hoon SEARCH "HOON FUKUSHIMA" FOR THIS STORY.
