Fukushima Daiichi resumes treated water discharge after 15-hour tsunami advisory halt

Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant resumed treated water discharge after a 15-hour halt due to a tsunami advisory. The discharge was stopped on December 8 following a tsunami advisory for the Fukushima coast after an earthquake. Safety checks and improved communication protocols were implemented before resuming operations on December 9. This is the 17th release of treated water, part of a plan to discharge approximately 7,800 tons by December 22. The process is halted during seismic events or advisories to prevent backflow and ensure equipment safety.
