Radioactive water released at U.S. request: Cabinet adviser
SEOUL, May 18, Kyodo
Japanese playwright Oriza Hirata, who serves as a special adviser to the Cabinet, claimed in a recent lecture given here that the dumping of low-level radioactive water into the Pacific Ocean was done at the ''strong request'' from the United States, a person who attended the lecture said Wednesday.
The release of the water from the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant last month generated anxiety about the possible spread of radioactive contamination from the seaside power station.
The Japanese government had apparently given its permission for the release of the water after receiving a report from plant operator Tokyo Electric Power Co.

They will visit the Daiichi and Daini plants in Fukushima Prefecture, northeastern Japan, from May 24th to June 2nd. The Daini plant is now under control.
The experts will investigate the damage caused by the March earthquake and tsunami and the responses taken to deal with the nuclear accident. They will compile their findings in a report.
The report will include the lessons from the nuclear accident and measures to prevent a recurrence.
It will be presented at an IAEA ministerial-level meeting to be held from June 20th.

Japan apologizes for radiation concerns
Japan has apologized for releasing radioactive substances into the air and the sea from the disabled Fukushima nuclear plant.
Japan's Senior Vice Minister of Health, Labor and Welfare Kohei Otsuka made the remark at a special meeting of the World Health Organization in Geneva on Tuesday. About 200 representatives from governments around the world attended the meeting.
Otsuka said the Japanese government sets strict standards on food and drinking water to protect people's health from radioactive elements
