"Japan's government plans to support the country's fisheries industry if it is affected by misinformation when treated water from the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant is released into the ocean. A panel that includes relevant cabinet ministers decided on Tuesday to set up a fund in case demand for domestic marine products declines in response to the release. The fund will temporarily be used to buy and store marine products that can be frozen. The size of the fund and details of the plan are to be arranged before the discharge of the treated water, which is expected to take place around the spring of 2023. Water contaminated with tritium and other radioactive materials at the plant has been treated and stored in tanks. The water will be diluted to levels below national regulations before it is released. By having the system in place, the government hopes to be able to respond flexibly to any reputational damage. If such efforts are insufficient, the government plans to instruct the plant operator, Tokyo Electric Power Company, to compensate in accordance with the damage."
