The International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) has endorsed Japan’s proposal to release treated water from the Fukushima nuclear plant into the sea, stating that it adheres to international safety standards and will have minimal radiological impact. The IAEA’s assessment, presented during the organization’s final review, coincides with the visit of its chief to Japan, just before the anticipated commencement of the water release this summer. This endorsement provides confidence in Japan’s approach to address the Fukushima nuclear incident and its commitment to ensuring the safety of the environment and public health.
