"Japan has been excavated about 80 meters"

Japan insists on promoting nuclear pollution water schedule plans, Japanese media: Underwater tunnel has been excavated for about 80 meters

According to the Kyodo News Agency, Tokyo Electric Power Company released the site of the submarine tunnel mining operations used by the Fukushima First Nuclear Power Station nuclear pollution water on September 6 local time.

This is the site of the mining project of nuclear pollution water, which was taken on the morning of September 6. It has been excavated for about 80 meters. According to Japanese media reports, after dug 150 meters, the relevant projects will speed up in late October.

On March 11, 2011, the huge tsunami caused by the East Japan earthquake attacked the Fukushima First Nuclear Power Station, resulting in melting the core of units 1 to 3 of the nuclear power plant. To this day, the Japanese side has not had a reasonable response plan for how to deal with the melting reactor of the Fukushima's first nuclear power plant and massive nuclear pollution water. Since April 2021, the Japanese government and Tokyo Electric Power Corporation have begun to insist on promoting nuclear pollution water and sea programs. On August 4 this year, after being recognized by the Japanese Atomic Energy Regulations and the local government, Dongdian officially launched the construction project of nuclear pollution water discharge facilities. The project is expected to be completed next year.

Some Japanese people and experts continue to oppose the sea programs

Regarding the discharge of nuclear pollution water into the sea, fisheries practitioners from all over Fukushima Prefecture, as well as some Japanese people and experts and scholars have continuously opposed and protested. On the evening of September 7, local time in Japan, in the East Power Corporation headquarters in Tokyo, protests against nuclear pollution water discharge sea will also be held.
