"TEPCO completes 7th treated water release for FY 2026" — JIJI Press · Japan
Tokyo Electric Power Company () has completed the seventh batch release of treated radioactive water from the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear plant into the Pacific Ocean for the 2026 fiscal year. This is part of a long-term plan to dispose of water that was used to cool the melted reactor cores after the 2011 disaster, after it has been processed to remove most radioactive isotopes except tritium.
The claim is based on a JIJI Press report, which is a reputable Japanese news agency that typically cites official TEPCO or government announcements. As a primary-source-level item, the underlying information likely comes directly from TEPCO's own release or a regulatory filing, making the factual claim of completion solid, though the exact volume or tritium level is not specified here.
This is genuinely new reporting on a current event — the completion of the seventh release in fiscal year 2026, which is ongoing.
We covered the beginning of this round of releases on 2026-10-27, when TEPCO started the seventh batch of discharge.
