Protest Rally in Tokyo Against Discharging Nuclear Contaminated Water into the Sea by Japanese Citizens

On the 9th local time, in Tokyo, Japan, many people took to the streets to express their opposition to the Japanese government’s insistence on promoting the plan to discharge nuclear-contaminated water into the sea through rallies.

The Japanese people at the rally expressed that it is irresponsible to discharge nuclear-contaminated water into the sea without ensuring safety. This will cause hidden dangers to the health of people in Japan and the world.

Participants: Japanese people love to eat fish, and harmful substances will be brought into the human body. The discharge of nuclear contaminated water will damage the marine environment and affect human health. I’m really terrified about it, for the health of my grandchildren.

Participants: The Japanese government and Tokyo Electric Power Company announced that the radioactive substances in the nuclear-contaminated water are only tritium residues, and other radioactive substances have been removed. However, many research organizations and scientists believe that radioactive substances other than tritium still remain in the nuclear-contaminated water, so they should not be blindly discharged into the sea, and other methods should be considered.

Participants: Oceans flow around the world, and the discharge of nuclear-contaminated water into the sea will cause anxiety around the world.

Some protesters at the rally said that the Japanese government vigorously promoted the plan to discharge nuclear contaminated water into the sea, but failed to deal with the aftermath of the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant nuclear accident, which is unacceptable to everyone.

Participants: The Japanese government has not done what they should do. Although they have said a lot of good words, they have made no progress in circles. The Japanese government should come up with a solution that is acceptable to all Japanese citizens. This is the most important thing.
