The Japan government plans to dilute the treated water containing tritium and other radioactive substances that accumulate at the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Station to a concentration below the standard and release it into the sea. TEPCO is preparing to start releasing it by around this summer.
In South Korea, concerns have been raised about the plan to release treated water, but the Japan government hopes that understanding in South Korea will deepen through the acceptance of this inspection team in addition to the safety assessment conducted by the IAEA = International Atomic Energy Agency.
