Polluted Fukushima waters begin to pour into the sea
- The decision of the Japanese Government has sparked protests in the country and, among other things, China has criticised the decision. The consequences of the 2011 nuclear accident continue.
On Thursday the Japanese Government began to pour the contaminated water from the Fukushima nuclear power plant into the Pacific. In total, the plant accumulates 1.34 million cubic meters. Prime Minister Fumio Kishida said that this decision was taken after checking the "safety of discharge" by Tepco.
The International Atomic Energy Agency, IAEA, has approved the water discharge plan in the hope of a "gradual and controlled" discharge, determining an "irrelevant" impact on the environment and human health.
Non-conformities decision
The country’s fisheries sector and environmental groups have been opposed to this decision and hundreds of people have met at the seat of the Japanese Parliament. It indicates that the fisheries sector may damage the name of its products. It is noted that water is contaminated with radioactive waste and can be used to cool reactors or filter into nuclear facilities. In the case of neighbouring countries, China opposes the Tokyo decision, and initially South Korea, but in recent weeks it has changed its mind and supported the decision.
The radiochemical seas Ken Buesseler regrets that no other option has been considered, denouncing that they want "only the fastest and cheapest response".
Martxoaren 11 honetan betetzen dira 10 urte justu Fukushimako Daiichi zentral atomikoaren lau erreaktoreak matxuratu zirenetik, lehenik lurrikarak eta ondoren maremotoak astinduta. Istripu hartatik eta geroztik –eta urte luzeetarako– laga dituen ondorioetatik... [+]
Japoniako Gobernuak Fukushima Daiichi zentral nuklearretik milioi bat tona ur kutsatu askatzea erabaki duela jakitera eman dute. 2011n istripua gertatu zenetik kutsatutako ura biltegietan jasotzen aritu dira eta arazo larri bilakatu da.
Ura metatzen ari da erreaktoreetan 2011ko hondamendiaz geroztik, eta lekurik gabe geratzen ari direla esan du Japoniako Ingurumen ministroak.
