Japan starts releasing treated radioactive water from Fukushima nuclear disaster into Pacific

Treated radioactive wastewater from the Fukushima nuclear plant is being released into the Pacific Ocean starting Thursday. Japan is asking its G7 allies to get behind the release – part of an ongoing cleanup at the plant more than a decade after one of the worst nuclear accidents in history. CBS News’ Elizabeth Palmer hears from locals concerned about the release and from representatives of the company in charge of the cleanup who say it would be safe. #news #Japan #fukushima Each weekday morning, “CBS Mornings” co-hosts Gayle King, Tony Dokoupil and Nate Burleson bring you the latest breaking news, smart conversation and in-depth feature reporting. “CBS Mornings“ airs weekdays at 7 a.m. on CBS and stream it at 8 a.m. ET on the CBS News app. Subscribe to “CBS Mornings” on YouTube: Watch CBS News: Download the CBS News app: Follow “CBS Mornings“ on Instagram: Like “CBS Mornings“ on Facebook: Follow “CBS Mornings“ on Twitter: Subscribe to our newsletter: ​ Try Paramount free: For video licensing inquiries, contact: licensing@
