The IAEA further noted that the controlled and gradual discharges of the treated water, as planned and assessed by TEPCO, would have a negligible radiological impact on both people and the environment.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>The IAEA report confirms that the radioactivity of the water is so low that it poses no negative health or environmental effects, aligning with international safety standards.<\/p>\n<p>However, despite the reassurances from the Japanese government and the IAEA, neighboring nations remain skeptical. China and South Korea have been particularly vocal opponents of the plan since its announcement in 2021.
