The International Atomic Energy Agency approved the water discharge plan in July.
South Korea’s Democratic Party plans to march toward the presidential office tomorrow in protest against Japan’s nuclear water release.
“We intend to hold the Yoon government responsible for failing to do its duties,” opposition Democratic Party leader Lee Jae-myung said at a party meeting, calling Japan’s plan to discharge water from the Fukushima plant an act of “terror”. Democratic Party members and foreign minister Park Jin clashed in parliament over the possibility of a direct impact on South Korea.
Japan has said that the water release is safe. The International Atomic Energy Agency approved the plan in July, saying that it met international standards and that the impact it would have on people and the environment was “negligible”.
