TEPCO, fishermen divided over groundwater release

The operator of the damaged Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant has failed to persuade local fishermen on a plan to release groundwater into the sea before it seeps into the reactor buildings.

Tokyo Electric Power Company, or TEPCO, on Monday briefed the fishermen on its plan to dig 12 wells in the plant compound. Groundwater would be pumped from the wells and out to the sea nearby.

But the fishermen say some of their colleagues are worried because they can't know the difference between groundwater and contaminated water.
