South Korean government: ``Even after releasing treated water, marine radioactivity values are safer than drinking water''

The South Korean government emphasized, ``Even after the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant's contaminated water (radioactively treated water) was released into the ocean, the marine radioactivity values indicate a level that is safer than drinking water.''
On the 23rd, Choi Yong-seok, director of the Fisheries Policy Office of the South Korean Ministry of Maritime Affairs and Fisheries (Ministry), held a press conference regarding the release of treated water from the Fukushima nuclear power plant at the government building in Seoul.
``After the previous press conference, additional sample analysis results were released from one Jeju sea area, five southwest sea areas, five Namjong sea areas, one southeast sea area, and 10 far-shore sea sites.'' Yo
told. Policy Director Choi said, ``Cesium-134 was less than 0.065 Bq per liter, and tritium was less than 6.7 Bq to less than 6.9 Bq per liter.
``This is a much lower level than the WHO (World Health Organization) drinking water standards, and it has been confirmed that Japan's oceans are safe even after the release.''
Regarding the current status of safety management for marine products in Korean waters, please refer to the following article:
The test results were 50 and 89, respectively, and all of them were ``compliant.'' The statement also emphasized, ``During radioactivity tests on imported seafood, no seafood was found to have radioactivity.''
