According to Japan's Kyodo News Agency, as of February 24, Japan's Tokyo Electric Power Company officially announced that it has been half a year since August 24, 2023, to discharge nuclear-contaminated water from the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant into the Pacific Ocean.
Despite opposition from many quarters, including strong criticism at home and abroad, Japan** insisted on discharging nuclear-contaminated water into the Pacific Ocean. It has been reported that TEPCO has carried out several discharges of nuclear-contaminated water, and as of November 2023, about 2340,000 tons of nuclear-contaminated water, and it is planned to divide it in 7 times in 2024460,000 tons of nuclear-contaminated water were discharged into the sea.
This decision has aroused widespread concern and strong condemnation from the international community, and neighboring countries and environmental groups have also expressed strong opposition to it. China, South Korea and other neighboring countries have also expressed concern and concern about this.
It is widely believed that the discharge of nuclear-contaminated water could have long-term effects on the ecology and human health of the Pacific region. In this context, the international community calls on Japan** and TEPCO to adopt a responsible attitude, fully consider the potential impact of the discharge of nuclear-contaminated water on the environment and human health, strengthen international cooperation, and seek safe and effective treatment solutions.
As a neighboring country, China is highly vigilant about this, and calls on Japan** and TEPCO to carefully handle the issue of the discharge of nuclear-contaminated water to ensure that the discharge of contaminated water does not pose a threat to the safety of neighboring countries and regions. At the same time, China is willing to strengthen cooperation with the international community to jointly safeguard the global environment and the common interests of mankind.
