That suggests IAEA will be examining, examining, monitoring the credibility of the strategy in the years to come, he stated.
The IAEA, in its last report launched Tuesday, concluded the strategy to release the wastewater — which would be considerably watereddown however still have some radioactivity — satisfies worldwide requirements, and its ecological and health effect would be minimal.
