Prime Minister Fumio Kishida received an International Atomic Energy Agency report Tuesday that states Japan's plan to release into the sea treated water from Tokyo Electric Power Company Holdings, Inc.'s Fukushima No. 1 nuclear power plant is consistent with international safety standards.
The IAEA Director General Rafael Grossi gave the nuclear watchdog's comprehensive report to Kishida at a meeting in Tokyo.
Kishida will decide the timing of the ocean discharge based on the report.
