The Panel of Independent Global Experts appointed by the Pacific Islands Forum to review Japan's intention to release treated nuclear wastewater into the Pacific Ocean has unanimously concluded that that Japan's plan should be postponed, until it can be reasonably assumed to not be detrimental to marine life across the Pacific.
The panel of experts indicated that the IAEA is not a regulatory agency.
The IAEA has itself stated that the agency does not recommend or endorse Japan's plan, rather it says that the proposed plan should meet standards.
The Pacific Islands Forum comprises 18 members: Australia, Cook Islands, Federated States of Micronesia, Fiji, French Polynesia, Kiribati, Nauru, New Caledonia, New Zealand, Niue, Palau, Papua New Guinea, Republic of Marshall Islands, Samoa, Solomon Islands, Tonga, Tuvalu, and Vanuatu. Japan should really postpone their plan and consult with neighboring and pacific countries, including its own citizens, to listen to concerns, agree on actions and allay fears.
