Wastewater to be dumped into ocean

The Japanese government may announce as early as Tuesday plans to dispose of radioactive wastewater from the crippled Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant into the Pacific Ocean, sources with knowledge of the matter said Friday.

The sources said the government will convene a meeting of relevant ministers and announce the decision as early as next Tuesday.

While treated, the radiation-tainted water, stored in tanks at the plant in Japan's northeast, is expected to reach capacity next year.

The plant had its key cooling functions knocked out after being battered by a massive earthquake-triggered tsunami a decade ago, resulting in the world's worst nuclear crisis since Chernobyl in 1986.

The tainted water contains radioactive tritium as a result of being used to cool down melted nuclear fuel at the plant in Fukushima Prefecture.

The plant had its key cooling functions knocked out after being battered by a massive earthquake-triggered tsunami a decade ago, resulting in the world's worst nuclear crisis since Chernobyl in 1986.

学姐笔记

句子主语为The plant，谓语为had，宾语its key cooling functions，过去分词knocked out作补语，是Have sth done的用法，介词短语after being battered by a massive earthquake-triggered tsunami a decade ago做时间状语，其后resulting in the world's worst nuclear crisis，紧接时间状语since Chernobyl in 1986做结果状语。
