TEPCO unveils facility to discharge treated groundwater into sea

Tokyo Electric Power Co. shows the press on Sept. 14, 2015, its facility for releasing into the ocean groundwater filtered after being pumped up from wells around damaged reactor buildings at its crippled Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant in the northeastern Japanese prefecture of Fukushima. It is part of the utility's effort to curb the amount of contaminated water at the complex devastated by the 2011 earthquake and tsunami and ensuing meltdowns.
