The government decided in April 2021 on its policy to start discharging treated water around two years later. The plant's operator TEPCO began construction of the discharge facilities in August last year, but it has said that completion of the facilities could be delayed depending on sea and weather conditions.

Most nuclear power plants around the world routinely and safely release treated water containing low-level concentrations of tritium and other radionuclides to the environment as part of normal operations, according to the IAEA. (Kyodo News, 13. Januar 2023)

"Japanese officials insist the “treated” water will not pose a threat to human health or the marine environment, but the plans face opposition from fishermen who say it risks destroying their livelihoods (...)".

An der Universität Heidelberg wurde 2021 das Käte Hamburger Kolleg für Apokalyptische und Postapokalyptische Studien (CAPAS) eingerichtet. Der Schwerpunkt der transdisziplinären Forschungsinitiative liegt auf dem angenommenen transformativen Potential der Denkfigur. Mittlerweile erschienen bereits eine Ausgabe der neu gegründeten Zeitschrift „Apocalytica“ sowie sechs Newsletter.

Zitat: „Im Zentrum des Käte Hamburger Kollegs für Apokalyptische und Postapokalyptische Studien (CAPAS) an der Universität Heidelberg steht die Frage, wie sich Katastrophen und Endzeit-Szenarien auf Gesellschaften, Individuen und Umwelten auswirken. Ziel ist es, vergangene und gegenwärtige Systemumbrüche und ‑zusammenbrüche auf Grundlage eines transdisziplinären Forschungsansatzes differenziert zu beschreiben und voneinander abzugrenzen. Auch die Reaktionen auf apokalyptische Szenarien sowie Zukunftsentwürfe für die Zeit nach der Katastrophe sollen vor dem Hintergrund ihrer jeweiligen historischen und kulturellen Rahmenbedingungen verstanden, analysiert und hinterfragt werden.“
