    IAEA Approves Plan For Water Release - Fukushima

    Handout photo shows Rafael Grossi, Director General of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), watches fish tanks after signing agreements to cooperate with Tokyo Electric Power Co. (TEPCO) on information exchange to raise marine life, as TEPCO President Tomoaki Kobayakawa signs his copy while they were visiting a lab at the damaged Fukushima nuclear power plant in Okuma on July 5, 2023. UN watchdog has said that Japan's plan to release waste water from the tsunami-wrecked Fukushima nuclear plant into the sea complies with international standards. The International Atomic Energy Agency says the release will have a "negligible" impact on the environment. The Fukushima facility is running out of storage space for the water, which was used to cool nuclear reactors. Japan's plan has been opposed by China and South Korea.
