According to reports, the meeting also revised the government's action plan, stating that a new 50 billion yen fund will be established to provide support to fishers across the country affected by sea discharge.
In April 2021, the Japanese government formally decided to filter and dilute the Fukushima nuclear sewage and discharge it into the sea. However, this decision was widely questioned and opposed by the international community, and it also aroused strong concerns in Japan.
