Tokyo’s environment ministry plans to publish test results weekly for the next three months.
Tokyo Electric Power Co said seawater near the plant contained less than 10BqL of tritium, below its self-imposed limit of 700Bq.
The east-Asian nation on Thursday started releasing water from the wrecked Fukushima plant into the Pacific Ocean, sparking protests within Japan and neighbouring countries, and prompting China to ban aquatic product imports from Japan. The ministry will publish test results weekly at least for the next three months and will then review the timing of further disclosure, an official told Reuters today.
