In August 2023 Nomura drew criticism from within his own party, for characterising treated water released from Fukushima No. 1 nuclear power plant as "contaminated water".[1] Amidst pressure, Nomura later apologized for his remarks claiming it was a slip of the tongue.[1][2]
On September 13, 2023 Prime Minister Fumio Kishida ordered a cabinet reshuffle that saw Nomura lose his position as Minister of Agriculture, Forestry, and Fisheries.[2][3]
