Then a report on the IAEA stating that the release of radioactive waste water from Fukushima into the Pacific Ocean is safe.
From JAPAN- The IAEA agreed to the waste dumping from Fukushima, while South Korea, China, and the Pacific Islands question the accuracy of the data upon which the decision was based. The Japanese government is planning to build next generation nuclear power plants to replace the ones scheduled to be scrapped.
