The chief of the UN nuclear watchdog has vowed to continue close consultations with South Korea and other nations over Japan’s plan to discharge radioactive water from its crippled Fukushima nuclear power plant into the ocean, Seoul’s Foreign Ministry said on Sunday.
Rafael Grossi, director general of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), made the pledge during his meeting with Ham Sang-wook, Seoul’s deputy foreign minister for multilateral affairs, in Vienna on Friday, according to the ministry.
