Africa-Press – Malawi. <\/strong><\/span>The operator of Japan\u2019s crippled Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant on Monday said that the first round of the release into the sea of treated wastewater has been completed.<\/p>\n

Tokyo Electric Power Company (TEPCO), the plant\u2019s operator, said in a statement that in the first round, about 460 tons of treated water was released into the sea per day, adding that it released a total of 7,800 tons of water as planned \u2013 the equivalent of 10 full tanks in the plant compound.<\/p>\n

Beijing has imposed a blanket ban on seafood from Japan.<\/p>\n

TEPCO said that for the second round, it will inspect the discharge facilities for three weeks, and will start the process again.<\/p>\n
