IAEA report on Fukushima waste-water is wrong – nuclear scientist.

The International Atomic Energy
Agency’s report on Japan’s planned discharge of nuclear-contaminated water
into the Pacific Ocean is wrong, a Pakistani nuclear scientist says.

“I think it’s a very favorable treatment to Japan by the IAEA,” Zafar Koreshi,
dean of graduate studies at Air University Pakistan, said in an interview
with Xinhua News Agency. “It ignored the interests of the local people who
are affected by this and of the regional countries who are going to be
affected by this.”

So it is legitimate for China, South Korea and other
regional countries to demand a joint mechanism to have their concerns
addressed, he said. The Fukushima disaster, like the one in Chernobyl in
1986, was a level-7 nuclear accident, the highest on the International
Nuclear and Radiological Event Scale. Japan’s plan to dump
nuclear-contaminated water into the sea is extremely dangerous and harmful
to fish, because it contains cesium, strontium, iodine and tritium,
carbon-14 and cobalt 60, with some of them being radioactive, Koreshi said.
