Watch again: South Koreans protest against planned discharge of wastewater from Fukushima

South Koreans protested against planned discharge of wastewater from Fukushima. The UN watchdog on Tuesday green signalled Japan to release more than 1 million metric tons of water into the Pacific that was used to cool damaged reactors at the power plant hit by an earthquake and a tsunami in 2011. Seoul, which has been critical of Tokyo's plans, said it respects the conclusions of the two-year-long safety review by the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) that found Japan's plans were consistent with global safety standards. The watchdog said it would have a “negligible radiological impact on people and the environment”.
