Japan approves long term Fukushima cleanup plan
Japan’s government on Friday endorsed a revised 30 to 40 year roadmap to clean up the Fukushima plant. The plan delays the start of removing spent fuel from storage pools by up to three years due to prior mishaps and safety issues. TEPCO has conducted limited robot surveys while experts seek to locate melted fuel and begin debris removal within six years.

Fukushima Reactor Decommissioning Roadmap Sees Delays
Four years after the disaster at Japan's Fukushima plant, a revised 30 to 40 year roadmap delays key steps by three years. Meltdown cores remain unlocated, fuel rods require removal from damaged reactor buildings, and robots must be developed to operate in high radiation. Contaminated water storage grows, with release plans debated. Public sentiment complicates waste storage as experts assess feasibility of a century-level cleanup.

California imposes large water curbs on senior rights holders
In a historic move, California regulators order farming and other senior water rights holders to halt pumping from three major waterways in the Sacramento San Joaquin and delta system. The Friday curtailment affects 114 entities with claims dating to 1914 or earlier, forcing thousands to rely on groundwater or stored supplies while delaying crops and reshaping regional agriculture.
