Japan: Visitors buy Fukushima seafood as a sign of support in Tokyo

Visitors flocked to Tokyo's Toyosu fish market to a stand promoting fish from the three Japanese regions hardest hit by the 2011 tsunami and nuclear disaster, including Fukushima. Started in July, the project, "Yumeichi Rakuza", got off to a difficult start as it coincided with controversy over Fukushima seafood, following last month's release of Fukushima wastewater into the Pacific. 

The discharge, equivalent to more than 500 Olympic swimming pools, is expected to take decades and will allow engineers to start removing highly dangerous radioactive fuel from three wrecked reactors.  The head of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), reiterated that the water being released was safe according to the UN watchdog.
