China's spokesperson Mao Ning held a regular press conference on December 13.

A reporter asked: According to reports, Japan's Tokyo Electric Power Company (TEPCO) announced on the 11th that it was confirmed that a worker working on the waste furnace at Unit 2 of the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant was contaminated with radioactive materials, and there is a possibility that internal radiation will cause radiation to directly act on human organs. Do you have any comment?

Mao Ning: I have also noted relevant reports. In the process of decommissioning the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant and disposing of nuclear-contaminated water, a series of accidents occurred in which workers were splashed with nuclear-contaminated water and contaminated with radioactive materials, which fully illustrated the seriousness of the problem and once again proved the extreme importance of properly disposing of nuclear-contaminated water.

Japan's plan to discharge nuclear-contaminated water into the sea is 30 years or more, and there are huge risks and hidden dangers. China urges Japan to take into account the concerns of all stakeholders and fully cooperate with the establishment of a long-term and effective international monitoring arrangement with the substantive participation of all parties, so as to effectively prevent the discharge of sea into the sea from causing long-term harm to the marine environment and human health.
