原発処理水の視察団来日　放出後３回目、１２日まで調査―ＩＡＥＡ

　国際原子力機関（ＩＡＥＡ）の視察団が９日、東京電力福島第１原発にたまる処理水の海洋放出の安全性を検証するため来日した。昨年８月に放出を始めて以降３回目の調査で、１２日まで滞在して福島県での現地調査や、政府や東電などとの意見交換を行う。
　９日午前に東京都内で行われたオープニングセッションで、ＩＡＥＡのカルーソ原子力安全・核セキュリティー局調整官は、今回の視察で処理水の放出関連設備や機器などを直接確認して３回目の報告書をまとめると説明。その上で「ＩＡＥＡは今後も処理水の海洋放出の検証を続け、最後の一滴まで放出を見届けたい」と強調した。
　視察団には米国や中国、韓国、ロシアなどの専門家らが参加。過去２回の調査では、いずれも処理水の海洋放出が国際的な安全基準に合致しているとの結果が公表されている。（2024/12/09-12:30）

A mission of the International Atomic Energy Agency arrived in Japan on Monday for its third review of the operations to discharge into the sea tritium-containing treated water from the Fukushima No. 1 nuclear power plant.
   The team will conduct on-site safety inspections at the meltdown-hit plant in Fukushima Prefecture, northeastern Japan, and meet with representatives of the government and Tokyo Electric Power Company Holdings Inc., which releases the water, during their stay until Thursday.
   At a meeting Monday, Gustavo Caruso, director and coordinator at the IAEA's Nuclear Safety and Security Department, explained plans to produce the agency's third report on the water release operations after directly checking discharge-related facilities and equipment.
   He said that the IAEA will continue to monitor the discharge of treated water into the ocean until the last drop.
   The IAEA mission includes experts from the United States, China, South Korea and Russia. In the previous two reviews, the agency said that the water release operations were consistent with international safety standards.
