China News Service, August 20. According to Kyodo News, Japan’s Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry revealed on the 19th that during the talks between Kochi Kajiyama Hiroshi and International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) Director General Grossi, the IAEA launched a dialogue in September. The Tokyo Electric Power Company's Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant has reached an agreement on the safety assessment of the treated water.
According to reports, during the first visit in September, senior IAEA officials will meet with Japanese officials and technical experts in Tokyo and Fukushima.
The IAEA will begin to assess whether the discharge of nuclear sewage has an adverse effect on people or the environment.
According to previous reports, on April 13, the Japanese government convened a cabinet meeting to formally decide to discharge nuclear sewage from the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant into the sea. This move caused many dissatisfaction.
As the Japanese government's plan to discharge Fukushima nuclear sewage into the sea caused controversy in the international community, the International Atomic Energy Agency subsequently decided to form an international expert group to inspect the process of sewage into the sea.
