TOKYO - Tokyo Electric Power Company (Tepco) plans to dispose of radioactive waste water into the sea of Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant in an effort to stabilize reactor.
Tepco said it would start throwing as much as 11,500 tons of waste water on Tuesday, March 5th fastest and the operation will last for several days.

Waste water discharged into the sea for complex reactor No. 2 avoided from radioactive contaminated water.
 
Water contaminated with radioactive 100 thousand times the normal level found in the reactor turbine building. It also hamper efforts to cool down the destroyed reactor.
 
Yukio Edano Cabinet Secretary said the government has approved the plan, because the moving water from reactor No. 2 is a more important issue.
