Hospitalization of 4 Japanese due to contact with Fukushima wastewater

Four Japanese workers have been hospitalized after coming into contact with water containing radioactive substances while discharging wastewater from the Fukushima power plant into the ocean. At the end of August, the manager of the Fukushima plant, after having purified and diluted, began releasing water into the Pacific Ocean, mainly coming from the injections necessary to cool the plant's reactors, after the enormous tsunami of 2011. The second phase of the release, which was phased in and under the current timeline is expected to continue until the early 2050s, ended this week. The process is approved by the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) and Tokyo guarantees its safety for the environment and human health. However, some environmental experts rejected this and wanted to put an end to this project. According to the AFP news agency; The spokesman for the Fukushima nuclear power plant said today (Friday): Four workers who were working at the dismantling site of the damaged Fukushima Daiichi power plant (in north-eastern Japan) were injured when water containing radioactive materials splashed on them.
