The director general of the International Atomic Energy Agency plans to visit South Korea, the Cook Islands and New Zealand in July, regarding the ocean discharge of treated water from the Fukushima No. 1 nuclear power plant, several government sources said.
Rafael Grossi is expected to brief each country on the contents of a comprehensive report, which will include the international nuclear watchdog's assessment of the safety of the ocean discharge.
Grossi is scheduled to visit Japan on July 4 to hand the comprehensive report to Prime Minister Fumio Kishida before going to the three countries.
