China News Service, November 18, according to Korean media reports, the South Korean Atomic Energy Safety Commission expressed regret on the 17th Japan’s Tokyo Electric Power Company’s release of the Fukushima nuclear-contaminated water discharge plan’s radiation impact assessment report.
On April 13, the Japanese government officially decided that the nuclear sewage from the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant will be discharged into the sea after being filtered and diluted.

The Korea Atomic Energy Safety Commission stated that the report presupposes the discharge of nuclear sewage to the sea, but it did not fully explain the inevitability of the sea discharge plan.
According to reports, the Atomic Energy Safety Commission has cooperated with the Korea Atomic Energy Safety Technical Institute to study the appropriateness of the relevant reports, and will actively respond with the relevant department task force (TF) in charge of the State Affairs Office.
On April 13, 2021, the Japanese government officially decided to filter and dilute the Fukushima nuclear sewage into the sea. The discharge time is expected to last 20 to 30 years.
The decision of the Japanese government triggered opposition from the domestic people and the international community.
That month, the Korea Atomic Energy Safety Commission reported that it had sent a letter to the Japan Atomic Energy Regulatory Commission to convey the public opinion of South Korea against Japan’s decision, requesting the Japan Atomic Energy Regulatory Commission to independently review the situation of nuclear sewage treatment and publish the results openly and transparently.
