            IAEA Approves Plan For Water Release - Fukushima

            Handout photo shows Rafael Mariano Grossi, IAEA Director-General, together with his team boards a boat one kilometer along the coast of Fukushima Daiichi NPP where 12 meters below the sea surface a tunnel was constructed to use for controlled discharge of the ALPS treated water. Fukushima, Japan. 5 July 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.
