According to the Japanese Public Broadcasting Association (NHK) reported, 21 local time, Japanese Prime Minister Fumio Kishida said that as long as the weather and Marine weather is not affected, Japan's Fukushima first nuclear power plant nuclear water will be discharged from the sea as early as August 24, and relevant preparations are entering the final stage. He claimed that the Japanese government will be responsible for the discharge of the sea for decades until all the so-called "treated water" is disposed of.

After the news was announced, on August 22, Japanese people held an emergency rally in front of the Prime Minister's official residence in Tokyo in the rain to protest the government's disregard for public opinion to start the nuclear contaminated water discharge into the sea. Chanting "No discharge of nuclear contaminated water!" "Listen to the fishermen!" 'Don't pollute the sea! And other slogans to protest the government's decision to start pumping contaminated water from the Fukushima nuclear plant into the sea on August 24.

Hideki Taki, one of the organizers of the rally, said the Japanese government's forced decision to push ahead with the release of nuclear-contaminated water into the sea was extremely angry. The nuclear contaminated water that the Japanese government will discharge is called "treated water," but no matter how it is "treated," the nature of the nuclear contaminated water will not change. Taki emphasized that the people who oppose the discharge of the sea will continue to speak out strongly and fight with all their strength in the future.
