the tepco executive in charge of the release plan says his company will continue to provide science based information to address public concerns especially among the people in the fishing industry. >> translator: we will keep our promise not to dispose of the water without the understanding of relevant parties. >> the plant suffered a triple melt down in the march 2011 earthquake and tsunami. since then ground water and rain have been seeping into the damaged reactor buildings and mixing with water used to cool molten nuclear fuel. workers treat the water to remove most radioactive materials, but tritium remains. the more than 1,000 tanks being used for storage at the site are nearing full capacity. last year the nra approved a plan to dilute and discharge the treated water into the ocean. the government says the level of tritium will be lowered to one-seventh of the world health organization's standards for drinking water. this week the international atomic energy agency released a comprehensive report that concluded japan's plan is consistent with international safety standards. japan's

the operator tepco said it had received the safety certification from japan's nuclear regulator and that of the un's nuclear watchdog, rafael grossi, said he was extremely confident in his agency's assessment of japan's proposal. what exactly could it all mean? 0ur tokyo correspondent shaimaa khalil has more from tokyo. the public sentiment here in the country and across the region, especially in south korea and china, is one of anxiety and anger. earlier today, japan's nuclear regulator gave tepco, the company that runs the power plant, the go ahead to start the process. south korea said that its own assessment has found that japan's plan complies with international standards, which is something that the iaea chief had said earlier in the week — and he reiterated it today in a press conference before heading out to seoul. he said that the impact, the radiological impact is going to be negligible on the environment. he was in fukushima and he met with local officials and localfishermen. and he acknowledged that the concerns that they have are legitimate, they're understandable. but also

tepco is irresponsible.o the right thing to prevent this in the first place. we can't go back. we can only go forward. but our group actually did a very detailed analysis and calculation on an alternative that we think is much better, and that is using the accumulated water to make concrete to be used on site, to raise that seawall against future large tsunamis, to be able to replace the ice barrier that's underground trying to keep the ground water out of the melting down reactors and to be able to stabilise the radioactive soil that surrounds the area as well. they're planning, the japanese, are planning to release this water over the next 30 years. so this is not only transboundary, which is an issue legally, but it's also transgenerational. that's my generation, my daughter's generation and any grandchildren that might come along if we go with this concrete option number one, it takes away the biological concerns immediately. there's no way for this getting into organisms or to the food chain. numbertwo,

the water is building up now, the government and tepco, the company that runs this plant, have maintaineds building up to a capacity that there will be no room and no time to dispose of it, and that now is the time. but, of course, it needed the blessing of the iaea. it needed the iaea, the international nuclear energy agency, to say this is now at a level which is acceptable to pump into the ocean. essentially the treatment process involves taking the water from the tanks, treating them, that means removing more than 60 radionuclides. one remains, which is tritium — they cannot separate that. but experts have said that it will be at well below legal concentration levels. now we've heard from rafael grossi himself saying that the government's plan is in conformity with international standards. he called it impartial, scientific, and he said that the effects of that are going to be negligible. so essentially saying that the nuclear watchdog, the international nuclear watchdog, is now setting the stage forjapan�*s government plan. i don't think that his reassurance is going to do anything t
