Neighboring countries, along with fishing groups, have
been strongly opposed to the wastewater discharges
from the wrecked Fukushima Daiichi nuclear plant.
In August, China immediately banned
all Japanese seafood imports, dealing a heavy
blow to the Japanese fishing industry.
The Japanese Foreign Ministry argues that Japan
has provided transparent and scientific explanations
about the safety of their wastewater release plan. .
According to the International Atomic Energy Agency,
the organization has reviewed the safety of the plan
and concluded it would have negligible impact. .
The government has said wastewater is treated to reduce
radioactive materials to safe levels, before being diluted
to make it far safer than internationally established standards.
Later this week, a team of experts from China,
South Korea and Canada are scheduled to take samples
of seawater and marine life near the first release.
Fox News reports that a relief fund has
been established by the Japanese government
to reduce the impact of China's seafood ban.
According to the government, the discharge
of wastewater is unavoidable as the plant is
decommissioned, a process expected to span decades
