Japan will not release ALPS‑treated water from Fukushima
Question asked:
“Japan plans to release ALPS-treated water, not nuclear wastewater, from the Fukushima plant.”
Summary
Japan is actively releasing water that has been processed by the ALPS system from the Fukushima Daiichi plant. The releases, now in their sixth round and 24th overall, involve treated wastewater containing diluted radioactive tritium. Therefore, the water being released is indeed nuclear wastewater that has undergone ALPS treatment, not non‑radioactive water.
