"방사능 불안" 올림픽, 시민단체 일 규탄
South Korean civic groups protested against Japan hosting the Olympics next year.... over concerns of radioactive waste water from the Fukushima nuclear disaster.
Some 30 groups gathered in front of the former Japanese embassy in Seoul, where they argued Prime Minister Abe's claim that the water is under control is not true.
More than one million tons of the water is in storage there, with up to 4-thousand tons being added each week with no viable disposal methods.
The global Games are a festival of peace, but they point out Abe is focused only on using it to promote Japan.
Demonstrators also claimed the food given to the athletes could be contaminated.
