Posted by Arms Control Center in INTERNATIONAL SECURITY, tags: Fukushima, Japan, Korea, nuclear power plant, radiation, radioactive water, S.Korea, Seoul, TokyoTokyo is expected to announce its plan of discharging more than one-point-two million tons of radioactive water into the sea soon. This will possibly start in 2022. Due to this fact, Japan is willing to consult with neighboring countries to ensure the safe release of contaminated water from its Fukushima nuclear power plant, as stated by a senior Japanese embassy official in Seoul. Should Seoul participate in the monitoring process to help dispel worries raised by fisheries industries and environmental groups, then the embassy is willing to disclose all information.
