The Albanese government has accepted the findings of the International Atomic Energy Agency regarding the treated radioactive water from the tsunami hit the Fukushima Nuclear Power Plant.
The IAEA has stated that the wastewater is safe to be dumped into the Pacific Ocean.
Australia’s Minister for Climate Change and Energy, Chris Bowen, made this statement in Nadaro Village, Tailevu yesterday afternoon.
Bowen says Australia accepts the findings, and he has also spoken with Fiji’s Prime Minister Sitiveni Rabuka.
“We accepted the findings IAEA and obviously I discussed with Prime Minister Sitiveni Rabuka, he made a strong speech about it at the Climate Minister conference, I know different countries have different views which we respect.”
The Australian Minister also recognizes that there are countries in the region that do not agree with the findings of the IAEA report and says Australia respects their views.
Japan will begin discharging wastewater into the Pacific Ocean from today.
