PresentBefore○ The condition is stable. The amount of radioactive material released has been significantlyreduced.
○ Protective suits are no longer necessary for most workers and inspectors.
○ The IAEA has been conducting reviews on decommissioning and the safety of ALPS treatedwater and others.
○ No “contaminated water” which hasn’t been purified shall be discharged from the TEPCO’sFukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Station.

Ensuring food safety and peace of mind
○ Japan conducts food tests with criteria that are stricter than international guidelines. If a
product does not pass the tests, it will not be distributed to markets in Japan or overseas.
○ Agricultural and fishery products are strictly monitored before shipping. The test results
are published. In recent years, almost no items have exceeded the reference values.
○ Most import restrictions imposed by other countries have been lifted or eased.
