A tsunami(海啸)hit the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant(福岛第一核电站)in Japan in 2011. It broke the nuclear reactors(核反应堆), so the reactors became very hot.

Nuclear wastewater(核废水)is different. It's the waste from a normal power plant. The rules on whether or not the wastewater can be put into the ocean are clear. So processed(处理过的)nuclear wastewater is often seen as safe. But nuclear-contaminated water is not.
Japan tries to mix the idea of the two kinds of water. The country says that the contaminated water goes through a special purifying process(过滤程序), and that it doesn't hurt people's health. However, the water has more than 60 kinds of radioactive materials. Many of them are still umprocessed.
