IAEA report confirms safety of discharged Fukushima water
An International Atomic Energy Agency task force has confirmed that the discharge of treated water from Japan’s Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant is proceeding in line with international safety standards. The task force’s findings were published in the agency’s fourth report since Tokyo Electric Power Company (TEPCO) began discharging Fukushima’s treated and diluted water in August 2023.
More information can be found on the IAEA’s Fukushima Daiichi ALPS Treated Water Discharge web page.

With utilities, state representatives, and a populace living through electricity reliability challenges, high energy costs, and a decades-long drive for decarbonization, the future of California's energy supplies was front and center at the state and local levels in 2022. Diablo Canyon, California's largest single source of clean energy, and its future proved a microcosm of the larger debate with an impassioned group of plant workers, representatives, advocates, and regular citizens working to end the plant's premature retirement in 2025. With 2022 in the rearview mirror and Diablo Canyon's life extended another five years beyond its previous retirement date, questions remain about what the future holds for California's electricity grid and energy debate as well as larger lessons learned. An expert panel discussed these questions and much more.
