By 3/4/2016, Masuda, Fukushima plant decommissioning chief commented in the interview with a local newspaper company that they need to consider discharging the contaminated water to the Pacific.

The newspaper company is Kahoku shimpo.

Due to the high amount and the increasing speed, Tepco and the government of Japan cannot remove tritium from contaminated water. The government of Japan is to release a strategy plan by the end of this month.

Masuda said, he is aware that discharging the tritium water is one of the options after dilution.

The entire volume of tritium does not change even after dilution however it was not asked at least in the published part of the interview.
