Is it catastrophic impact on local fisheries, causing the reputation of the fishermen increasing due to nuclear power and marine release?
The ministerial meeting scheduled for October 27 was postponed due to the disposal of treated water containing residual radioactive material tritium generated by the accident at Tokyo Electric Power Company's Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Station.
On the 23rd, Minister of Economy, Trade and Industry Hiroshi Kajiyama, who is in charge of coordinating measures for decommissioning and contaminated water, said, "There is only a limited amount of time (until the decision on the disposal policy is made)," and a decision will be made in the not too distant future. showed the idea to The reason for this is that water that has been purified by the multi-nuclide removal system (ALPS) is stored in tanks on the premises of the nuclear power plant, but there are restrictions on where additional tanks can be installed.

After the plan to dilute the ALPS-treated water and release it into the ocean was proposed, the Soma-Futaba Fisheries Cooperative, to which Mr. Ono belongs, also held a national briefing session.
However, since the efforts are being made while assessing the recovery of demand from customers, the catch in 2019 of the coastal fisheries of the three fisheries cooperatives in Fukushima Prefecture remained at 3,640 tons, 14% of the level before the nuclear accident.
