TOKYO (AP) — South Korean experts are looking at the facilities related to slightly radioactive wastewater at the tsunami-wrecked Fukushima nuclear plant. Japan plans to release the treated water into the sea after final reviews by Japanese regulators and the International Atomic Energy Agency. Local fishing communities have protested the plan, and Japan’s neighbors, including South Korea, have raised safety concerns. The South Korean experts are visiting the plant Tuesday and Wednesday as part of ongoing efforts between Tokyo and Seoul to repair their long-strained ties.
