ＩＡＥＡ基準適合なら「反対しない」　原発処理水放出で韓国外相

　【ソウル時事】韓国の鄭義溶外相は１９日、日本政府が東京電力福島第１原発の処理水を海洋放出する方針を決めたことと関連し、国際原子力機関（ＩＡＥＡ）による調査に韓国専門家も参加できるよう日本側に要求する考えを示し、「ＩＡＥＡの基準に適合した手順に従っていると判断されるならば、あえて反対しない」と語った。（2021/04/19-16:56）

South Korean Foreign Minister Chung Eui-yong said Monday that his country would not necessarily oppose Japan's planned release of Fukushima No. 1 nuclear plant water to the sea if the water release is found to meet International Atomic Energy Agency standards.
   Chung told a parliamentary meeting that Japan should put forward scientific evidence on the safety of the treated radioactive water to be released from the disaster-crippled Tokyo Electric Power Company Holdings Inc. power station, hold sufficient talks with South Korea, and allow a South Korean expert to take part in an IAEA study on the planned water release.
   The minister claimed that Japan is obliged to disclose related information in a transparent way and hold adequate consultations, adding that South Korea is waiting to see whether Japan will meet these obligations.
   He indicated that South Korea could initiate an international dispute settlement process if Japan is judged to have failed to take sufficient action.
   The South Korean government is considering filing a suit with the International Tribunal for the Law of the Sea over the matter.
