Protests as Japan prepares to release treated Fukushima nuclear wastewater – BBC News

Protests have been taking place in South Korea’s capital Seoul over Japan's planned release of treated radioactive water from the wrecked Fukushima nuclear plant.

The head of the UN's nuclear watchdog, Rafael Grossi, who is in Seoul, has endorsed the plan but surveys in South Korea indicate overwhelming public opposition to the release.

The plant was severely damaged in 2011 after being struck by a tsunami.
