South Korean lawmakers berate IAEA chief over Japanese plans to release treated Fukushima wastewater
South Korean opposition lawmakers have sharply criticized the head of the United Nations’ nuclear watchdog for its approval of Japanese plans to release treated wastewater from the damaged Fukushima nuclear power plant. They met with Rafael Grossi for a tense meeting in Seoul on Sunday, with protesters screaming outside the door. The IAEA last week approved the Japanese plans, saying the treated water would meet international safety standards. Grossi, the International Atomic Energy Agency’s director general, is traveling to several countries this week to engage with government officials and critics of the plan, seeking to reduce public concerns about food safety.

South Korea’s military says the satellite North Korea failed to put into orbit in May wasn’t advanced enough to conduct military reconnaissance from space as it claimed. The long-range rocket carrying the satellite failed soon after liftoff, setting back North Korea's pursuit of a space-based reconnaissance system.

Elon Musk has limited the number of tweets that Twitter users can view each day. He described the restrictions as an attempt to prevent unauthorized scraping of potentially valuable data from the social media platform. The site is now requiring people to log on to view tweets and profiles. That's a change in its longtime practice to allow everyone to peruse the chatter. The restrictions could result in users being locked out of Twitter for the day after scrolling through several hundred tweets. Thousands of users complained Saturday of not being able to access the site. Musk said after facing backlash that he would raise the thresholds on how many tweets accounts can read per day.
