South Korea inspects nuclear plant

A team of South Korean experts has completed its examination of the crippled Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant to assess the safety of Japan's plan to discharge treated and diluted water into the ocean.

The delegation of about 20 members includes senior officials of South Korea's Nuclear Safety and Security Commission, as well as marine environment specialists. They examined the nuclear plant on Wednesday, the final day of their two-day visit. 

Japan plans to release treated water after diluting it to reduce tritium levels to one-seventh of the World Health Organization's safety standards for drinking water before it is released into the ocean.
