The IAEA will have a continued presence at the Fukushima Daiichi plant site to review, monitor and assess the discharge activities for decades to come, Grossi said, adding that whether to allow other countries to participate in the supervision is a decision to be made by the Japanese government.
During Grossi’s press conference, a group of protestors gathered outside the Japan National Press Club to voice opposition to Japan’s ocean discharge plan, shouting “The sea belongs to mankind. Don’t dump polluted water into the sea,” and “No discharge without consent. Keep your promise to the fishermen!”
At the invitation of Japan’s foreign ministry, Grossi started his four-day visit to Japan on Tuesday, including a trip to the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant.
