The U.N.'s nuclear watchdog agency positioned staff on-site to actively monitor the start of Japan's discharge of treated radioactive water from the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear plant into the Pacific Ocean.
With the release of more than 1 million metric tons of wastewater planned to begin later this week, the International Atomic Energy Agency said on Tuesday it has been preparing for this moment for the past two years and will conduct an impartial, independent, and objective safety review during the discharge phase.
