Overseas Network, August 20th According to a report by Japan’s Jiji News Agency on the 20th, the Japanese Prime Minister is scheduled to inspect the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant on the same day and hold talks with representatives of local fishing groups who oppose the discharge of nuclear-contaminated water to break the current stalemate. According to Japanese media, local fishery practitioners have always been resolute in their opposition, and the Japanese government intends to forcefully push the discharge of nuclear-contaminated water into the sea amidst opposition from fishery personnel.
Relevant sources of the Japanese government revealed that the government has decided to hold a cabinet meeting on the 22nd, at which time the final consultation will be carried out on the time for the discharge of nuclear contaminated water. The Japanese Prime Minister is scheduled to inspect the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant on the 20th, and intends to meet with Masanobu Sakamoto, the chairman of the National Federation of Fisheries Associations (All Fisheries Associations) who is still opposed.
After the Fukushima nuclear accident in 2011, Fukushima fishery personnel had to suspend operations, and the local fishery work was hit hard. In 2015, the Japanese government and Tokyo Electric Power Company reached an agreement with the Fukushima Prefectural Fisheries Cooperative Association that “the government will not deal with nuclear-contaminated water without the understanding of relevant people.” In order to “please” the fishery personnel, The Japanese government has supported the fishery industry in recent years and said it will regularly strengthen the detection of radioactive substances in nuclear-contaminated water.
However, opposition from Fukushima fishing personnel remains strong. The Japanese government stated in early August that “the relationship of trust between the government and fishery personnel is gradually deepening.” Nozaki Tetsu, president of the Fukushima Prefecture Fisheries Cooperative Association, immediately retorted that “I don’t know why the government said that.” He once again reiterated his position against the discharge of nuclear contaminated water into the sea. Japan’s Jiji News Agency stated that the discharge of nuclear-contaminated water into the sea has a far-reaching impact on Fukushima, and the Japanese government is likely to force the discharge of nuclear-contaminated water into the sea without the understanding of local fishery personnel.
