The transcript discusses the role of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) in the context of nuclear energy and the treatment of contaminated water following the Fukushima disaster. The IAEA maintains a reporting system to the UN General Assembly and is considered an independent organization specializing in nuclear energy under the United Nations.
There is an ongoing controversy regarding the impact of the discharge of contaminated water on the investigation. The Secretary General of the IAEA stated that if the contaminated water is safely treated and discharged, marine products from Fukushima will not be contaminated. However, there are continued claims to link the discharge of contaminated water with the ban on imports of marine products.
The transcript also discusses the safety management of our waters and marine products, the status of radioactivity testing for imported marine products, and the methods of radioactivity surveillance in our waters. The government has added 108 emergency investigation points to the existing 92 detailed investigation points to strengthen the safety management basis in our waters.
The former director of the IAEA explains the choice of contaminated water treatment method. The IAEA safety standard system is the highest standard of Korea's nuclear safety law. The basic safety law specifies the universal and general contents, and the safety requirements and safety guidelines are described in the safety standards.
The transcript concludes with a discussion on the urgent task of collecting post-use settlement fees for the Fukushima accident nuclear power plant. The issue of regional revitalization remains a huge task that must be resolved, not only in Fukushima but also in all regions that have experienced other accidents.
1. The International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) is an independent organization specializing in nuclear energy under the United Nations.
2. There is ongoing controversy regarding the impact of the discharge of contaminated water on the investigation.
3. The IAEA Secretary General stated that if the contaminated water is safely treated and discharged, marine products from Fukushima will not be contaminated.
4. There are continued claims to link the discharge of contaminated water with the ban on imports of marine products.
5. The place where the water is to be discharged is the bottom of Fukushima, but the object of the evaluation is the safety of the contaminated water in the discharge plan.
6. The Nuclear Safety and Security Commission has been investigating radioactivity in all waters of Korea since 1994.
7. On July 7, there were 28 radioactivity tests on imported marine products from Japan, and no seafood was detected with radioactivity.
8. The radioactive material released during the Fukushima nuclear accident did not have a significant impact on our waters.
9. The government added 108 emergency investigation points to the existing 92 detailed investigation points.
10. The IAEA safety standard system is the highest standard of Korea's nuclear safety law.
11. The IAEA's report submitted to Japan in early 2018 included a comprehensive review report from the subcommittee, which reviewed various issues to determine the method.
12. The Japanese government is expected to include AI's report plus a comprehensive review report from the subcommittee, which will probably include a review of various issues to determine the method.
13. The final method was decided by reporting it to Japan and checking it there.
