• Japan to send treated radioactive water into the ocean

  Today, Japan will begin a decades-long process of releasing treated wastewater from the Fukushima nuclear plant into the Pacific Ocean. Disposing of all the water is expected to take between 30 and 40 years.
  
  Japanese officials say it’s a necessary step to decommission the plant, which was wrecked in the 2011 earthquake and tsunami and suffered a nuclear disaster. For the past 12 years, hundreds of underground tanks have stored roughly 1.34 million metric tons of contaminated water from the nuclear plant and releasing the water into the ocean is considered the most feasible option.

  Heat-related illnesses are hitting workers on offshore oil and gas platforms as searing temperatures bake the US Gulf Coast.
  
  A rare heat advisory from the Interior Department’s Bureau of Safety and Environmental Enforcement warned offshore oil companies on Tuesday to take extra precautions in the Gulf, including periodic breaks. In a few recent instances, affected workers have been taken to shore for further evaluation, the alert said.
  
  Extreme heat has smothered Texas and Louisiana for weeks. For the nearby offshore production regions, the heat index — a measure of what temperatures feel like when combined with humidity — has reached 100F to 110F (38C to 43C) degrees, said Rich Otto, a forecaster with the US Weather Prediction Center. The water temperature in the Gulf of Mexico has hit 88F in many areas off the coast of Texas and Louisiana, according to the US National Data Buoy Center.
