"The Island Country's cabinet held an emergency meeting about Edo Electric Power Company's wastewater treatment"
"Edo Electric Power Company announced that its wastewater treatment capacity had reached its limit, and it was difficult to bear the enormous maintenance costs of the storage tanks"
"Nakayama Juji stated that he would take the wastewater discharge issue seriously."
On August 10, the department responsible for handling nuclear power station waste at Edo Electric Power Company held a press conference. A manager, in front of the reporters, took out a glass of preliminarily purified nuclear wastewater and drank it without hesitation.
This was to respond to the external questionings about the nuclear wastewater treatment measures, but the effect was not as good as expected. Instead, after the report was released, it provoked widespread ridicule.
