June 27, 2017
SEOUL- The Japanese government has expressed its regret over recent remarks by South Korean President Moon Jae-in about the March 2011 accident at Tokyo Electric Power Company Holdings Inc.'s Fukushima No. 1 plant, Jiji Press learned Monday.
"The accident in 2011 at the Fukushima nuclear power plant brought the death toll to 1,368 as of March 2016," Moon said in a speech on June 19, in which he announced plans to review South Korea's nuclear power policy comprehensively based on lessons from the Fukushima accident.
The Japanese government told a counsellor at the South Korean embassy in Tokyo that "the remark is very regrettable as it is not based on a correct understanding of the accident," informed sources said. (Jiji Press)
