/ world today news/ “The release of polluted wastewater from the Fukushima nuclear power plant into the ocean is related to the health of people from various countries, the marine environment and public interests in the world, which causes concern among the international community,” said Chinese Ambassador to Japan Wu Jianghao at a press conference today.
He pointed out that the wastewater from the Fukushima nuclear power plant was in direct contact with the damaged core of the reactor. They contain extremely toxic elements, such as plutonium and americium. There is no precedent for releasing such waters into the ocean. This is something quite different from the normal release of water from a nuclear power plant operated by a reliable system. “Japan must properly address concerns at home and abroad, fulfill its international obligations, abandon its wrong decision to release the polluted wastewater into the ocean, realistically and with a scientific, safe and transparent approach to deal with them and accept strict international scrutiny,” Wu Jianghao said.
