According to CCTV news, according to Japan's **8**, the leakage of nuclear-contaminated water containing radioactive materials at Japan's Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant may have been caused by human error. At the time, cleaning was underway in the building, and 10 of the 16 valves that needed to be manually closed were open. Japan's Tokyo Electric Power Company initially explained that these valves were automatic valves. According to TV Fukushima, the leak of the contaminated water lasted about 40 minutes.
Tokyo Electric Power Company said on the 7th that there was a leak in the nuclear-contaminated water purification unit at the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Station. There are about 5Five tons of nuclear-contaminated water containing radioactive materials leaked from the exhaust port, and the total amount of radioactive materials such as cesium and strontium could reach 22 billion becquerels.
Japan 5On February 8, the spokesperson of the Chinese Embassy in Japan answered reporters' questions on the leakage of nuclear-contaminated water at the Fukushima nuclear power plant in Japan.
Q: According to reports, a leak occurred at the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant on July 7 at the nuclear-contaminated water purification unit, totaling about 5Do you have any comment on the leakage of 5 tons of nuclear-contaminated water containing 22 billion becquerels of radioactive material?
A: Japan's repeated accidents in the process of dealing with the Fukushima nuclear contaminated water have fully exposed the chaotic and disorderly internal management of TEPCO, and the ineffective supervision measures taken by Japan, which once again proves that the nuclear contaminated water treatment device is not reliable in the long term, and further highlights the need for the international community to carry out supervision. We will pay close attention to the aftermath of the accident and hope that the Japanese side will disclose relevant information in a timely manner.
The discharge of nuclear-contaminated water from Fukushima concerns human health, the global marine environment and the international public interest. Once again, we solemnly urge the Japanese side to face up to the concerns of its neighbors and the international community, fully consult with stakeholders in a sincere manner, fully cooperate with the establishment of an effective international monitoring arrangement with the full and substantive participation of stakeholders, and effectively dispose of the nuclear-contaminated water in a scientific, safe and transparent manner.
