South Korean government: ``TEPCO resumes the fourth release of treated water that was suspended due to the earthquake'' = South Korean report

The South Korean government has announced that it has resumed the discharge of Tokyo Electric Power Company's treated water into the ocean, which had been suspended. On the 15th, the Prime Minister's Office said, ``TEPCO has determined that there is no abnormality in the equipment caused by the earthquake that occurred early on the same day.''
"The fourth process discharge was resumed at 3:49 p.m." TEPCO manually suspended the fourth discharge of treated water into the ocean, which began on the 28th of last month, at 12:33 a.m. that day.
This is because a magnitude 5.8 earthquake occurred off the coast of Fukushima Prefecture at around 12:14 a.m., with a maximum seismic intensity of just under 5 being observed near the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant.
Prior to this, Tokyo Electric Power Company (TEPCO) stated in its implementation plan that seismic intensity of 5 lower or higher is a natural phenomenon that requires manual termination of ocean discharge.
These include earthquake, tsunami advisories, tornado advisories, and storm surge warnings. After inspecting the equipment, the plant plans to release the treated water again. According to the Prime Minister's Office, the Japanese side contacted the South Korean government immediately after suspending the release.
