![April 5, 2011, Okumamachi, Japan - A lone angler casts the line at the sea with Fukushima No.1 nuclear power plant in the background along the Pacific coast some 120 miles northeast of Tokyo in this July 29, 2009, file photo. The decision by Tokyo Electric Power Co. to dump radioactive water from its crippled plant into the sea angered fishermen. The company known as TEPCO began discharging 11,500 tons of water on Monday to make room to store more highly contaminated fluids in the crippled plant. Fishermen in the area asked the utility giant to stop releasing contaminated water after radioactive iodine and cesium were found in fish caught in the waters nearby.
