Korea s vice oceans minister said Thursday the country plans to come up with testing methods to detect tritium levels in seafood by the end of this year amid growing concerns over Japan s release of wastewater from the crippled Fukushima nuclear power plant.
The government has received no requests from Tokyo to expand imports of Japanese seafood and plans to maintain the import ban as is, officials said Wednesday, denying a news report that Japan is trying to increase seafood exports to Korea.
More than 7 out of every 10 Koreans are opposed to Japan s release of treated radioactive water from the crippled Fukushima nuclear power plant, a public opinion poll showed Friday.
