South Korean government: ``Contaminated water'' won't be changed immediately''... ``Analysis of opinions from various circles''

On the 31st, the South Korean government said, ``There are various opinions regarding the expression ``contaminated water'' (radioactive treated water) from the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant, where discharge into the ocean has begun in earnest, should be changed.''
Since it is out, we will consider what kind of term is appropriate." At a press conference held at the government building in Seoul on the same day, Park Ku-young, the first deputy director of the National Affairs Coordination Office of the Republic of Korea, said,
"Once the Special Committee on Financial Accounts is over, I think there will be time to analyze the opinions of various sectors."
Deputy Director Park said, "Some people misunderstand that the terminology will change immediately, but
Not so,' he said. The day before (the 30th), Prime Minister Han Deok-soo responded to a question about the possibility of changing the term ``contaminated water'' during a general policy question and answer session at the Special Committee on Budget Settlement, saying, ``We are not considering it.
I'll try," he replied. In addition, Kim Ki-hyun, representative of the ruling party People's Power, clarified her position the day before in response to questions from reporters, saying, ``We should consider changing the name 'contaminated water.''
I made it clear. Furthermore, Rep. Seong Il-jong, chairman of the ruling party's Verification Task Force to Protect Our Oceans, argued that the name should be changed to ``contaminated treated water.''
However, the fisheries industry said, "We decided to remove the word 'pollution' and call it 'treated water.'"
