The Yomiuri reported that the water would be diluted inside the facility before its release, with the whole process taking 30 years.
The treated radioactive water is currently kept in a thousand huge tanks at the Fukushima Daiichi site, where reactors went into meltdown nearly a decade ago after the earthquake-triggered tsunami.
Plant operator TEPCO is building more tanks, but all will be full by mid-2022.
