The inspection team will begin the first of a five-night, six-day on-site
inspection itinerary today.

In Tokyo, we hold a preliminary technical meeting with the Japanese government, Tokyo Electric Power Company officials, and others.

The inspection team will hold a technical meeting to determine what to focus on and detailed inspection items on site.

The inspection team plans to inspect the entire process from the generation of contaminated water to the discharge point, and in particular, tomorrow we will check the K6 area, where the polynuclide removal facility and tanks containing contaminated water treated by the Alps are located, through on-site cameras, and inspect the condition of the facilities in the Alps as close as possible.

The day after tomorrow, we will visit the chemical analysis building inside the nuclear power plant.

[Yoo Kook-hee, head of the Fukushima nuclear power plant's contaminated water expert inspection team (yesterday): (In the Chemical Analysis Building) We plan to check what kind of procedure is followed to analyze nuclides, what equipment is used to analyze nuclides, and these things are directly (planned).]

He emphasized that it is also the role of the inspection team to reassure the public.

[Yoo Kook-hee, head of the Fukushima nuclear power plant's contaminated water inspection team (yesterday): I think that if we can fully explain what we have seen in great detail through a scientific approach and what we need to confirm in the future, the public will trust us a lot.]

In response to the issue that the samples were not collected locally and were not effective, the inspectors emphasized that "contaminated water has been collected three times, and the samples collected are being analyzed."
