ＩＡＥＡ「来年早期に報告」　処理水安全性、２回目検証―東電福島原発

　東京電力福島第１原発から出る放射性物質トリチウムを含む処理水の海洋放出計画をめぐり、来日した国際原子力機関（ＩＡＥＡ）の調査団が１４日、安全性検証のための調査を開始した。ＩＡＥＡ原子力安全局のカルーソ部長は経済産業省や東電の幹部と意見交換し、「来年早期に（調査結果の）報告書を出したい」と説明した。（2022/11/14-12:25）

A visiting team of the International Atomic Energy Agency started Monday a survey to check the safety of the planned release into the ocean of tritium-containing treated water from Tokyo Electric Power Company Holdings Inc.'s disaster-crippled Fukushima No. 1 nuclear power station.
   In talks with senior officials of TEPCO and the Japanese industry ministry, Gustavo Caruso, director of the IAEA's Department of Nuclear Safety and Security, said that the team hopes to come up with a report on the results of the survey early next year.
   The team's members include experts from China and South Korea, which have expressed concerns over the planned water release, as well as IAEA officials. This is the second IAEA survey in Japan for the safety of the water release operations, after the first such survey in February.
   As part of the survey, which is slated to last until Friday, the team will visit the TEPCO plant in Fukushima Prefecture, northeastern Japan. The nuclear power station sustained heavy damage in the March 2011 powerful earthquake and tsunami.
   Caruso said that the team will check the progress in work to construct facilities related to the water release operations. The water has been treated but still contains tritium, a radioactive substance.
