Protests in South Korea over Fukushima nuclear plant wastewater release
South Korea had sent its own experts to Fukushima in May to assess the situation, and the government is expected to share its own findings soon.
“Our internal review process has been ongoing for the past two years,” said Mr Park.
“The process is in its final stages. When we make our final announcement, we will provide an in-depth analysis of the IAEA report.”
Currently, South Korea still has a ban on imports of Japanese food products from areas around the Fukushima nuclear plant.
Japan has called on the South Korean government to lift the ban, but Seoul said the import ban will stay until concerns over the contamination issues ease.
