Dozens protest in Tokyo to stop Japan from releasing treated, but still radioactive, water into the sea

Anti-nuclear activists protested in Tokyo Tuesday to stop Japan from releasing radioactive water from a damaged Fukushima power plant and into the sea.
The utility that operates the plant wrecked in the 2011 disaster has almost finished building the needed facilities to release the massive amounts of water, which has been speculated to begin sometime after June.
"Even after treatment, some radiation stays in the water," said Harumichi Saito, an activist from Iwaki, a city south of the wrecked plant. "It's a decades-long, multi-generational project that must get public consensus."
