Japan is really going to do that!It will affect all human beings!Chinese response →

22nd,

Japanese atomic energy regulation committee

Officially approved Tokyo Electric Power Company

Nuclear pollution water schedule.

Dongdian will start the full construction of nuclear sewage discharge facilities after obtaining the consent of the local government. The sewage plan is expected to start in the spring of 2023.

According to previous reports, nuclear sewage will be diluted with seawater, and then discharged by about 1 kilometer near the sea tunnel through the submarine tunnel. The discharge time is expected to last 20 to 30 years.

Wang Wenbin:

If the Japanese side starts the nuclear pollution water without permission

It will leave historical stains

According to reports, the Japanese Atomic Energy Regulatory Committee held a temporary meeting on July 22 to formally approve the nuclear pollution water drainage plan of the Fukushima first nuclear power plant formulated by Tokyo Electric Power Corporation. In this regard, a spokesman for the Ministry of Foreign Affairs Wang Wenbin said at a regular press conference on that day that the Chinese side expressed serious concern and resolute opposition to the Japanese government's unilateral decision to discharge the pollution water of the Fukushima nuclear accident. Obligations, deal with nuclear pollution water in a scientific, open, transparent, and safe manner, and stop the pushing programs.

Wang Wenbin pointed out that since the Japanese government made an error decision in April last year, the international community and the domestic people's doubts and opposition have not stopped. All parties generally concerned about the impact of marine environment and public health caused by Japan's ocean -emitted nuclear pollution water to the ocean coastal countries. The uncertainty of environmental impacts has raised a lot of questions.

He said that the International Atomic Energy Agency set up a technical working group twice to go to the truth to investigate and evaluate. So far, it has not reached the conclusion opinion on the Japanese row plan, and also put forward many clarification requirements and improvement opinions. China and Russia have proposed a joint technical issue list to the Japanese party, which has not been feedback from the Japanese side. Not long ago, the Pacific Island State Forum Leaders' Meeting and Foreign Minister Meeting also expressed serious concerns on related issues.

Wang Wenbin said that it is regrettable that the Japanese side has always ignored the legitimate concern and reasonable demands of the international community and domestic people. The construction and approval of the sea pipeline construction and the rowing plan. The Japanese side's concern is extremely irresponsible to ignore and try to create the established facts.

"I want to reiterate that Fukushima's nuclear pollution water disposal is related to the global marine environment and the public health of the Pacific national country, which is by no means a private affairs of Japan. China has once again urged Japan to effectively fulfill its due international obligations. Safety ways to deal with nuclear pollution water and stop pushing the sea of ​​sea. "He said.

Wang Wenbin emphasized that before the consensus with the interests of the interests and the relevant international agencies, the Japanese side shall not start nuclear pollution water without authorization. If the Japanese party insists on the self -interest on the international public interest and the danger is to take a danger, it will definitely pay the price for their irresponsible behavior and leave historical stains.

Event background

On March 11, 2011, a magnitude 9.0 earthquake occurred in the northeast of Japan and caused a large tsunami, causing major casualties. Affected by the dual influence of the earthquake and the tsunami, a large amount of radioactive substances of the Fukushima first nuclear power plant leaked.

Due to the continuous flow of groundwater and rainwater, the local Fukushima first nuclear power plant building that has been destroyed by the earthquake and tsunami has continued to produce water contaminated by high concentration radioactive substances. Tokyo Electric Power Co., Ltd. used special equipment to purify nuclear sewage, and continuously increased the treatment of water to be stored in many storage tanks. These treatment water contains radioactive substances that are not eliminated by the current technology.

The total capacity of these water storage facilities is about 1.37 million tons, which is close to saturation. It is expected to reach the limit by the fall of 2022. On April 13, 2021, the Japanese government decided to filter the large amount of nuclear sewage in Fukushima and dilute it into the sea.

Japanese people protest,

Domestic and international opposition

The "Nuclear Sewage Oceanic Plan" has been strongly opposed by the Fisheries Association of the Fukushima County Fisheries Association and the National Fisheries Association of Japan and the international community.

Last year, the local people of Fukushima held protest gatherings, raised signs such as "the ocean is crying" and "opposed to the discharge of wastewater into the ocean", and opposed the Japanese government's related plans. It is hoped that the government will not unilaterally decide.

On June 23 this year, Sakamoto Yasun, who has just served as the new president of the National Fisheries Cooperation Federation of Japan, held a press conference in Tokyo, saying that the Fukushima nuclear pollution water discharge plan has not been understood by the national fisheries practitioners and citizens of Japan. This plan is opposed.

The Pacific Island Forum Foreign Minister will publish documents a few days ago, which mentioned that Japan discharged nuclear pollution water to the ocean. Foreign ministers have reiterated that Japan's discharge of nuclear pollution water to the ocean may have cross -generation impacts, and the people of the Pacific Island country have great concern.

In response to the Pacific Island Forum Foreign Minister's attention to Japan's discharge of nuclear pollution water to the ocean, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs spokesman Wang Wenbin said at a regular press conference on July 14 that China has suffered from this. This reflects that the international community has serious concerns about the issue of Fukushima's Fukushima nuclear pollution water. It once again shows that this problem is related to the global marine environment and the public health of the relevant countries, not the Japanese family.

Experts: nuclear sewage emissions affect the world

The calculation results of a marine scientific research institution from Germany show that from the date of emissions, radioactive substances will spread to most of the Pacific area within 57 days. After 3 years, the United States and Canada will be affected by nuclear pollution.Global waters.Green Peace Organization Nuclear experts pointed out that the carbon contained in Japan's nuclear wastewater is dangerous within thousands of years and may cause genetic damage.

The American "Science" magazine pointed out that once nuclear sewage is discharged into the sea, it will cause severe pollution to the marine environment, and radioactive substances will spread to the entire Pacific waters and even the global marine environment.

The German Antarctic Ocean Agency warns that if Japan drain all waste water into the sea, less than half a year will face a high radiation threat, including the United States, which is far away from the other end of the ocean.

At that time, not only the coastal residents will be directly harmed, but the marine environment and creatures will also be contaminated, which will eventually cause secondary damage to the human body.
