Fumio Kishida on discharge of treated water from Fukushima nuclear plant
According to a Japanese foreign ministry official, Japanese Prime Minister Fumio Kishida informed G20 leaders assembled in New Delhi for a two-day summit on Saturday about the discharge of treated water from the Fukushima nuclear facility into the sea.
Japan began releasing treated radioactive water from the crippled Fukushima nuclear power plant into the Pacific Ocean last month, prompting China to impose an immediate embargo on all Japanese seafood imports.
Japan claims that the water leak is safe, citing the International Atomic Energy Agency's (IAEA) determination that the impact on people and the environment is "insignificant."
