Japan started releasing nuclear-contaminated wastewater from the crippled Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant into the Pacific Ocean on Thursday.

According to Tokyo Electric Power Company (TEPCO), the plant's operator, the water discharge commenced at around 1:00 p.m. local time (0400 GMT), while concerns and opposition persisted among local fishermen as well as in neighbouring countries and Pacific island countries.

TEPCO said it plans to carry out the first round of release over 17 days to discharge 7,800 tons of the radioactive wastewater.
