There was a leak of radioactive water at Fukushima

A leak of contaminated water has been detected at the infamous Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant. According to a report by TEPCO, the corporation that runs the plant, the leak was found in one of the pipes, and the cumulative volume reached 5.5 tonnes with 22 billion becquerels of radioactive material in its composition.
Late last summer, the Japanese government decided to begin discharging treated water from the plant into the ocean. Officials claim that this process is absolutely safe for the environment, as only tritium in permissible proportions remained in the water. Despite protests from a number of neighbouring countries, Japan has disposed of at least 1.5 million tonnes of water in this way.
