Construction of Fukushima water release facilities to begin Thurs.

Construction of facilities to discharge treated water from the crippled nuclear power plant in Fukushima Prefecture into the sea will commence Thursday, according to the plant operator, even as opposition at home and abroad remains. Tokyo Electric Power Company Holdings Inc. Initially, TEPCO had planned to start constructing the facilities in June but it was only approved in July by the Nuclear Regulation Authority. "It is important for us to make the best effort to clear various concerns and anxiety over the discharge plan," a TEPCO official said.
