LONDON, July 4 (Xinhua) -- Among the 2.3 million people who live in the Pacific Islands and rely on the ocean for food and income, many hold concerns over Japan's plans to release more than 1 million metric tonnes of treated radioactive wastewater into the sea, The Guardian reported on Tuesday.
The water was mostly used to cool reactors after the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear plant was hit by an earthquake and tsunami in 2011 that led to meltdowns in three of its reactors, in the world's worst nuclear accident since Chernobyl 25 years earlier, it said.
