El objetivo de este artículo es analizar todas las ocurrencias del lema ‘agua’ en artículos de periódicos japoneses y alemanes sobre el vertido de aguas residuales de la central nuclear de Fukushima Daiichi. El trabajo se ha llevado a cabo con ayuda de dos corpus construidos con el software NooJ y que contienen noticias sobre el tema extraídas de la base de datos de seis periódicos, Asahi Shinbun y Yomiuri Shinbun en el caso del japonés, Die Zeit, Süddeutsche Zeitung, Der Spiegel y Die Welt en el del alemán. Mediante el análisis cuantitativo y cualitativo del lema y de los constituyentes situados a su izquierda y a su derecha, fue posible delinear dos tendencias en la descripción del vertido, retratado como inofensivo o como peligroso gracias a elecciones lingüísticas y estrategias comunicativas precisas. Los resultados constituyen un avance en el establecimiento del papel de los medios de comunicación a la hora de influir en la opinión pública en relación con el siempre presente y muy politizado debate sobre la seguridad de la energía atómica.
