The International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), which oversees the development of international nuclear energy, agreed with Japan's plan to discharge polluted water from the Fukushima nuclear power plant into the sea, the China Central News Agency reported Tuesday.

According to reports, the Japanese government team suggested this month that polluted water should be discharged into the sea or evaporated, but it has yet to make a final decision, because all solutions are strongly opposed by some Japanese people.

Speaking in Tokyo, International Atomic Energy Agency Director General Nancy Grossi said both options of the Japanese government group sound feasible.

"Of course, it's the Japanese government's business how and when to do it," he said. We have not yet completed the final analysis, but I can now say that we believe that the report is based on sound methods and systematic treatment. ".

"It's nothing new and scandalous that other places also discharge [polluted water] into the ocean," Mr grossey said. But it's important to do it in a harmless way. Someone needs to monitor before, during and after the discharge to make sure everything is OK. ".

It is reported that different sources of radioactive sewage, including cooling water from nuclear power plants, groundwater and rainwater infiltrating into the plant day by day, must be treated by large-scale filtration procedures.
