TEPCO has been involved in a number of accidents in the process of disposing of nuclear-contaminated water. In the past month, the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant has been leaking nuclear contaminated water due to human factors one after another, fully exposing the chaotic and disorderly internal management of TEPCO and the ineffective supervision of Japan.

On February 6, a reporter from China Central Station followed a foreign press group into the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant to shoot interviews and ask questions about the nuclear contaminated waste liquid splash accident that occurred in October last year. TEPCO officials said they were taking steps to solve the problem. The day after the reporter finished the interview, TEPCO announced on the 7th that in the process of cleaning the equipment, the nuclear-contaminated water leaked from the exhaust port of the equipment, causing pollution to the surrounding soil. Upon investigation, it was found that the leak was caused by the failure of the staff to close the manual valve.

In this regard, a Japanese source said that various facts show that the nuclear-contaminated water treatment device does not have long-term reliability.

Ryuyi Kino, a Japanese person: There have been many incredible mistakes in the handling process after the nuclear accident, and no matter how sophisticated things are, if they are used in the wrong way, they will go wrong. Overall, there are questions about TEPCO's capabilities and its handling of the Fukushima Daiichi accident.

Fukushima Prefecture ** staff member Takayuki Ichishimoto: In the process of discharging nuclear-contaminated water into the ocean, the state and TEPCO should take responsibility and seriously explain to the relevant parties.
