Fukushima

A difficult operation to remove a small amount of radioactive debris from Japan's stricken Fukushima nuclear plant began Tuesday, after technical issues suspended an earlier attempt.

Akito Fukushima, of Kanazawa, Japan, was taken into custody on a charge of first-degree terroristic threats.

The release of wastewater from Japan's stricken Fukushima nuclear plant was suspended on Friday following an earthquake, its operator said while stressing that the move was precautionary.

This serves as a reminder of the risks associated with the ongoing cleanup efforts at the facility, which was severely damaged in 2011.

The Fukushima court found Shutaro Shibuya, Akito Sekine, and Yusuke Kimezawa guilty of "forced indecency" towards Rina Gonoi during a military drill in 2021.

Japan will begin releasing a second batch of wastewater from the crippled Fukushima nuclear plant from next week, its operator has said, an exercise that angered China and others when it began in August.

Construction workers stole and sold potentially radioactive scrap metal from near the crippled Fukushima nuclear power plant, the Japanese environment ministry said on Thursday.

Japan has told the World Trade Organization (WTO) that China's ban on Japanese seafood after the release of treated water from the Fukushima nuclear plant was "totally unacceptable", the Japanese foreign ministry said late on Monday.

vIn a video released on social media by his office, Mr Kishida and three officials were shown eating Fukushima fish.

Japan said Tuesday that harassment being faced by Japanese in China after the release of water from the Fukushima nuclear plant was "extremely regrettable", confirming that a brick was thrown at the country's embassy in Beijing.

Japan's Prime Minister Fumio Kishida hit out at Beijing on Monday over what he said were instances of stones being thrown at diplomatic missions and schools in China, following the release of wastewater from the Fukushima nuclear plant.

Japan summoned China's ambassador on Monday to protest against a flood of nuisance calls from China to local businesses following the release of water from the Fukushima nuclear power plant.

Japan told its citizens living in China to keep a low profile after Beijing blasted Tokyo for releasing treated radioactive water from a wrecked nuclear power plant into the Pacific Ocean.

Japan started releasing treated radioactive water from the wrecked Fukushima nuclear power plant into the Pacific Ocean on Thursday, a polarising move that prompted China to announce an immediate blanket ban on all aquatic products from Japan.

Japanese Prime Minister Fumio Kishida said on Thursday that his government had demanded China "immediately eliminate" its import ban on seafood from Japan, imposed after the release of treated wastewater from the Fukushima nuclear plant.
