Japanese Prime Minister Fumio Kishida has publicly consumed “delicious” fish sashimi from Fukushima, as showcased in a video released by the Japanese government. This gesture comes amid a contentious debate surrounding the release of treated radioactive wastewater from the 2011 Fukushima nuclear disaster into the sea.
The International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), a United Nations body focused on atomic energy, asserts that the discharge of filtered water into the Pacific Ocean deemed safe and will have minimal impact on both humans and the environment. Despite this, China, a prominent importer of Japanese seafood, made a significant announcement on Thursday, imposing a complete ban on the import of Japanese seafood products due to concerns over the health of consumers.
