Description
IAEA chief Rafael Grossi meets with local business representatives, including heads of fisheries and agricultural cooperative associations, in Fukushima prefecture. The UN nuclear watchdog concludes that Japan's plan to release treated water from the Fukushima nuclear plant into the sea meets international standards and will have a "negligible radiological impact". TEPCO and Japan's government want to release the treated liquid, diluted with seawater, via a pipe extending a kilometre from the coast where the plant sits. But fishing communities that spent years battling stigma and even bans on their catches now fear that rebuilt customer confidence will be destroyed. IMAGES AND SOUNDBITES
