Fukushima wastewater has been released, but other challenges, like removing melted nuclear fuel, remain

Following the release of Fukushima’s radioactive wastewater, Japan is now trying to address the nuclear plant’s 880 tons of deadly melted nuclear fuel.

The sound of the treated and diluted radioactive water flowing into an underground secondary pool was heard from beneath the ground as media, including The Associated Press, toured the plant in northeastern Japan for the first time since the water release began.
