China Partially Resumes Japanese Seafood Imports
China has partially lifted its ban on Japanese seafood imports, resuming them gradually after a 2023 ban due to treated radioactive wastewater release from Fukushima; while welcomed by Japan as a step toward improved relations, the ban on products from ten prefectures remains.

Sellafield Nuclear Cleanup Faces Criticism Over Cost, Safety, and Culture
A UK parliamentary report criticizes Sellafield's slow, costly nuclear waste cleanup, citing safety concerns, missed targets, a suboptimal workplace culture, and at least £127 million wasted on a paused project; the total cleanup cost is estimated at £136 billion and could take over 100 years.
