STORY CONTINUES BELOW THESE SALTWIRE VIDEOSTOKYO - Japan said on Tuesday it will start releasing more than 1 million metric tonnes of treated radioactive water from the wrecked Fukushima nuclear power plant on Aug. 24, putting into motion a plan that has drawn strong criticism from China.
Japan has maintained that the water release is safe. The International Atomic Energy Agency , the U.N. nuclear watchdog, also greenlighted the plan in July saying it met international standards and the impact it would have on people and the environment was"negligible." China bans seafood imports from 10 prefectures in Japan, including Fukushima and the capital, Tokyo. Seafood imports from other prefectures are allowed but must pass radioactivity tests and have proof of being produced outside the 10 banned prefectures.
