There is radiation! Visiting the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant has begun registration with the public | Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant | Radiation
According to Kyodo News on June 25th, Tokyo Electric Power Company's Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant "tour" will begin accepting public registration. Previously, it was only aimed at relevant individuals, local residents, and groups for training purposes. The implementation entity is a travel agency that has obtained the "Hope Tourism" certification in Fukushima Prefecture, and is expected to start after July.
According to reports, East Electric Power began to discharge more and more nuclear wastewater from the first nuclear power plant into the sea around the summer, aiming to promote understanding of reactor decommissioning by expanding the number of visitors.

According to TEPCO, the standard route is to take a bus inside the nuclear power plant to view the "multi nuclide removal equipment" and storage tank group for purifying wastewater, and get off the bus to view the reactor buildings of Units 1-4 that experienced core melting and hydrogen explosions from a high platform about 100 meters away. Regarding nuclear wastewater, bottled samples will be used for explanation.
