TOKYO: Japan will start releasing treated radioactive water from the wrecked Fukushima nuclear power plant into the Pacific Ocean on Thursday, a plan ...
Protesters hold a banner reading"No dumping of radioactive water into the ocean" during a rally at the intersection in Okuma-machi of Fukushima Prefecture, around 3 km away from the crippled Fukushima Daiichi nuclear plant on August 24, 2023, to protest against the government's plan to begin releasing treated water from the plant into the Pacific Ocean.
South Korea’s majority opposition party and civic groups around the country stepped up protests on Wednesday against Japan’s plan. President Yoon Suk Yeol’s government has come under criticism for saying that its own assessment found no problems with the scientific and technical aspects of the release.
“Being told something is scientifically safe and feeling reassured are two different things... Proof that the water release is scientifically safe may not remove reputational damage,“ he said.
