TOKYO: The head of the United Nations atomic agency is in Japan to examine discharges of treated radioactive wastewater from the ruined Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant, and to discuss further cooperation with Japan to promote the peaceful use of nuclear energy and non-proliferation.

This aerial view shows the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant in Fukushima, northern Japan, on Aug 24, 2023, after its operator Tokyo Electric Power Company Holdings began releasing its first batch of treated radioactive water into the Pacific Ocean.

The disaster caused many difficulties, but also led to"strengthening of the links and the cooperation between the IAEA and Japan,” Grossi said. Grossi will also meet with Foreign Minister Yoko Kamikawa and Economy and Industry Minister Ken Saito to discuss cooperation in nuclear disarmament, non-proliferation, North Korea and Iran as well as peaceful use of atomic energy, Japanese officials said.
