Engineers are to start testing a plan to build frozen walls at the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant. The government and the operator of the plant will carry out the plan to deal with the massive buildup of radioactive wastewater.

The amount of wastewater has been increasing as 400 tons of groundwater is flowing beneath the facilities from nearby mountains every day.

“...400 tons of groundwater...”

Using the measurement of “tons” must indicate that they are measuring “heavy water”, as in nuclear plants otherwise they would probably use gallons for regular just plain old water.

You are being sarcastic, I hope.

Good guess.
