Japan and China Experts Meet to Address Fukushima Treated Water Concerns

Japan's experts met with Chinese counterparts to address concerns over the discharge of treated radioactive water from the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant into the sea, which has led to opposition from fishing groups and a ban on Japanese seafood imports by China. The talks aimed to provide a science-based explanation of the safe implementation of the discharges, following a decade of wastewater storage. This meeting follows a summit agreement between Japanese Prime Minister Fumio Kishida and Chinese President Xi Jinping, and comes after the International Atomic Energy Agency confirmed the safe execution of the discharges during a visit to the plant.
