Japan began its 18th ocean discharge of treated Fukushima wastewater on March 6, 2026, releasing 7,800 tons with tritium levels below safety limits.
Japan began its 18th ocean discharge of treated wastewater from the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant on March 6, 2026, releasing about 7,800 tons of water containing roughly 2 trillion becquerels of tritium over 19 days.
The operation, part of a larger plan to discharge 62,400 tons in eight rounds during fiscal 2026, is managed by TEPCO and follows treatment with the ALPS system to remove most radionuclides except tritium.
The International Atomic Energy Agency confirmed the tritium levels in the released water are far below Japan’s safety limit and consistent with international standards.
The discharge continues a program started in August 2023, with about 133,000 tons released to date since the 2011 earthquake and tsunami triggered a level-7 nuclear disaster.
