処理水放出「安全基準に合致」　ＩＡＥＡが２回目の報告書

　国際原子力機関（ＩＡＥＡ）は１８日、東京電力福島第１原発にたまる処理水の海洋放出について、引き続き国際的な安全基準に合致しているとの見解を示した報告書を公表した。昨年８月の放出開始以降、報告書の公表は２回目。
　今年４月に調査団を日本に派遣して実施した視察調査の結論を報告書にまとめた。来日した調査団は、ＩＡＥＡ職員のほか、海洋放出に反発する中国などの専門家らで構成。処理水の放出関連設備を視察し、日本政府や東電との意見交換も行った。（2024/07/18-21:12）

The International Atomic Energy Agency has confirmed again the safety of Japan's discharge of tritium-containing treated water from the crippled Fukushima No. 1 nuclear power plant into the sea.
   In a report released Thursday, the U.N. nuclear watchdog said its task force "confirmed that the equipment and facilities are installed and operated in a manner that is consistent with...the relevant international safety standards."
   It was the second report on the matter since Tokyo Electric Power Company Holdings Inc. began the water release operations at its power plant in northeastern Japan in August last year.
   The report shows the findings of a task force review mission to Japan in April this year. The mission included people from the IAEA and China, which opposes the water release.
   The mission inspected related facilities at the plant and had discussions with TEPCO and the Japanese government.
